Based on a yet another recently leaked batch of internal Trickbot malware gang’s communication channels I’ve decided to come up with a proper OSINT analysis on the topic and actually enrich and actually enrich the original information data set includin… Continue reading Exposing the Trickbot Malware Gang – An OSINT Analysis
Earlier this week, a Ukrainian security researcher leaked almost two years’ worth of internal chat logs from Conti, one of the more rapacious and ruthless ransomware gangs in operation today. Tuesday’s story examined how Conti dealt with its own internal breaches and attacks from private security firms and governments. In Part II of this series we’ll explore what it’s like to work for Conti, as described by the Conti employees themselves. Continue reading Conti Ransomware Group Diaries, Part II: The Office
A Ukrainian security researcher this week leaked several years of internal chat logs and other sensitive data tied to Conti, an aggressive and ruthless Russian cybercrime group that focuses on deploying its ransomware to companies with more than $100 million in annual revenue. The chat logs offer a fascinating glimpse into the challenges of running a sprawling criminal enterprise with more than 100 salaried employees. The records also provide insight into how Conti has dealt with its own internal breaches and attacks from private security firms and foreign governments.

IBM Security X-Force researchers have discovered a revamped version of the Trickbot Group’s AnchorDNS backdoor being used in recent attacks ending with the deployment of Conti ransomware. The Trickbot Group, which X-Force tracks as ITG23, is a cybercriminal gang known primarily for developing the Trickbot banking Trojan, which was first identified in 2016 and initially […]

The operators of TrickBot have essentially shut down the notorious malware, multiple reports say, but evidence suggests the gang has begun using other platforms or folded operations into another cybercrime group altogether. Researchers at Intel471 and AdvIntel noted a sharp dip in recent TrickBot activity in separate reports Thursday, even though the command-and-control infrastructure for the malware remains operational. Intel471 said “it’s likely that the Trickbot operators have phased Trickbot malware out of their operations in favor of other platforms,” probably Emotet — a development researchers have been tracking for months. AdvIntel’s Yelisey Boguslavskiy, meanwhile, said in his report that TrickBot’s operators had been subsumed into Conti, a Russia-linked cybercrime group known for offering “ransomware as a service” packages to its affiliates. Researchers previously had noted TrickBot connections with Conti. “In name, at least, this means that TrickBot’s four-year saga is now coming to a close — the liaison that […]

The versatile malware known as TrickBot continues to pose “great danger” to customers of financial and technology companies because its developers are trying to stay a step ahead of cybersecurity analysts, according to Check Point Research. The company says TrickBot’s authors have equipped it with layers of “anti-analysis” and “anti-deobfuscation” capabilities, meaning that if an expert tries to pick apart the malware’s code, it stops communicating with its command-and-control servers or stops working altogether. Those features “show the authors’ highly technical background and explain why Trickbot remains a very prevalent malware family,” Check Point says in research published Wednesday. The danger remains clear, too: Check Point says the various modules of TrickBot are often deployed for stealing login credentials from customers of several large banks, including Bank of America and Wells Fargo, as well as big tech firms like Microsoft and Amazon. About 60 companies are affected overall. “These brands […]

Malware authors use various techniques to obfuscate their code and protect against reverse engineering. Techniques such as control flow obfuscation using Obfuscator-LLVM and encryption are often observed in malware samples. This post describes a specific technique that involves what is known as metaprogramming, or more specifically template-based metaprogramming, with a particular focus on its implementation […]
