A new threat actor is spreading infostealer malware through targeted attacks on developers and fraudulent cryptotrading applications.

In June 2022, LockBit revealed version 3.0 of its ransomware. In this blog entry, we discuss the findings from our own technical analysis of this variant and its behaviors, many of which are similar to those of the BlackMatter ransomware

Here we go with another episode about our (not so) old friend, BRATA. In almost one year, threat actors (TAs) have further improved the capabilities of this malware. In our previous blog post [1] we defined three main BRATA variants, which appeared during two different waves detected by our telemetries at the very end of 2021. However, during the last months we have observed a change in the attack pattern commonly used.

In this analysis, Cyble looks at the Eternity Malware suite, listing a wide variety of malware for sale on Telegram.

While Windows holds the largest market share on malware, macOS has its fair share of threats that mostly exist in an adware/grayware area. In this post I want to walk through how a Pirrit PKG file installer works. There are lots of more complex threats, but this is a good place to start if you’re just jumping into analysis. If you want to follow along at home, I’m working with this file in MalwareBazaar: https://bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/d39426dbceb54bba51587242f8101184df43cc23af7dc7b364ca2327e28e7825/.

Earlier today (January 11th), Researchers at Intezer published an report titled, “New SysJoker Backdoor Targets Windows, Linux, and macOS.” In this report, they detailed a new cross-platform backdoor they named SysJoker. Though initially discovered on Linux, the Intezer researchers shortly thereafter also found both Windows and Mac versions: *"SysJoker was first discovered during an active attack on a Linux-based web server of a leading educational institution. After further investigation, we found that SysJoker also has Mach-O and Windows PE versions." -Intezer*
