Rhadamanthys v0.5.0 - a deep dive into the stealer’s components
Rhadamanthys v0.5.0 - a deep dive into the stealer’s components
  • The Rhadamanthys stealer is a multi-layer malware, sold on the black market, and frequently updated. Recently the author released a new major version, 0.5.0. In the new version, the malware expands its stealing capabilities and also introduces some general-purpose spying functions. A new plugin system makes the malware expandable for specific distributor needs. The custom executable formats, used for modules, are unchanged since our last publication (XS1 and XS2 formats are still in distribution). Check Point Research (CPR) provides a comprehensive review of the agent modules, presenting their capabilities and implementation, with a focus on how the stealer components are loaded and how they work.

Analysis of a new macOS Trojan-Proxy
Analysis of a new macOS Trojan-Proxy
A new macOS Trojan-Proxy is riding on cracked versions of legitimate software; it relies on DNS-over-HTTPS to obtain a C&C (command and control) address. Illegally distributed software historically has served as a way to sneak malware onto victims’ devices. Oftentimes, users are not willing to pay for software tools they need, so they go searching the Web for a “free lunch”. They are an excellent target for cybercriminals who realize that an individual looking for a cracked app will be willing to download an installer from a questionable website and disable security on their machine, and so they will be fairly easy to trick into installing malware as well.

A Closer Look at ChatGPT's Role in Automated Malware Creation
A Closer Look at ChatGPT's Role in Automated Malware Creation
As the use of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies becomes more widespread, it is important to consider the possible risks associated with their use. One of the main concerns surrounding these technologies is the potential for malicious use, such as in the development of malware or other harmful software. Our recent reports discussed how cybercriminals are misusing the large language model’s (LLM) advanced capabilities: We discussed how ChatGPT can be abused to scale manual and time-consuming processes in cybercriminals’ attack chains in virtual kidnapping schemes. We also reported on how this tool can be used to automate certain processes in harpoon whaling attacks to discover “signals” or target categories.

Battling a new DarkGate malware campaign with Malwarebytes MDR
First publicly reported in 2018, DarkGate is a Windows-based malware with a wide-range of capabilities including credential stealing and remote access to victim endpoints. Until recently, it was only seen being delivered through traditional email malspam campaigns. In late August 2023, however, researchers at Trusec found evidence of a campaign using external Teams messages to deliver the DarkGate Loader.

  • Cybersecurity Firm Human Security has discovered malware on dozens of streaming devices and iOS/Android apps. A huge number of Android TV boxes contain malware capable of conducting ad fraud, creating fake accounts, and selling access to home networks. Researchers found that the malware they have dubbed Badbox is not only tricky to detect but difficult to remove as well. Android TV box users must prefer installing apps from reliable sources and keep their devices up-to-date. Human Security has already shared details of its findings with concerned law enforcement agencies.
