Google ads push fake Google Authenticator site installing malware
Google has fallen victim to its own ad platform, allowing threat actors to create fake Google Authenticator ads that push the DeerStealer information-stealing malware.
A package called “lr-utils-lib” was uploaded to PyPi in early June 2024, containing malicious code that executes automatically upon installation. The malware uses a list of predefined hashes to target specific macOS machines and attempts to harvest Google Cloud authentication data. The harvested credentials are sent to a remote server.

Kematian-Stealer : A Deep Dive into a New Information Stealer
Kematian-Stealer is actively being developed and distributed as an open-source tool on GitHub. Our investigation revealed that the stealer’s source code, related scripts, and a builder for generating malicious binaries are hosted under the GitHub account “Somali-Devs.” Significant contributions from the user KDot227 suggest a close link between this account and the development of the stealer. These scripts and stealer are designed to covertly extract sensitive data from unsuspecting users and organizations.

Gold Rush is back to APAC: Group-IB unveils first iOS trojan stealing your face
Group-IB, a leading creator of cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, has uncovered a new iOS Trojan designed to steal users’ facial recognition data, identity documents, and intercept SMS. The Trojan, dubbed GoldPickaxe.iOS by Group-IB’s Threat Intelligence unit, has been attributed to a Chinese-speaking threat actor codenamed GoldFactory, responsible for developing a suite of highly sophisticated banking Trojans that also includes the earlier discovered GoldDigger and newly identified GoldDiggerPlus, GoldKefu, and GoldPickaxe for Android. To exploit the stolen biometric data, the threat actor utilizes AI face-swapping services to create deepfakes by replacing their faces with those of the victims. This method could be used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to the victim’s banking account – a new fraud technique, previously unseen by Group-IB researchers. The GoldFactory Trojans target the Asia-Pacific region, specifically — Thailand and Vietnam impersonating local banks and government organizations. Group-IB’s discovery also marks a rare instance of malware targeting Apple’s mobile operating system. The detailed technical description of the Trojans, analysis of their technical capabilities, and the list of relevant indicators of compromise can be found in Group-IB’s latest blog post.
