A JavaScript-based backdoor, it&#8217;s capable of enabling credential theft, system access, and follow-on attacks, including ransomware.<\/p>\n<p>One of the malware&#8217;s known customers is FIN6 (aka Camouflage Tempest, Gold Franklin, ITG08, Skeleton Spider, and TA4557), an e-crime crew that originally targeted point-of-sale (PoS) systems in the hospitality and retail sectors to steal payment card details and profit off them. It&#8217;s operational since 2012.<\/p>\n<p>![Cybersecurity](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>The hacking group also has a history of using Magecart JavaScript skimmers to target e-commerce sites to harvest financial information.<\/p>\n<p>According to payment card services company Visa, FIN6 has leveraged More_eggs as a first-stage payload as far back as 2018 to infiltrate several e-commerce merchants and inject malicious JavaScript code into the checkout pages with the ultimate goal of stealing card data. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stolen payment card data is later monetized by the group, sold to intermediaries, or sold openly on marketplaces such as JokerStash, prior to it shutting down in early 2021,&#8221; Secureworks notes in a profile of the threat actor.<\/p>\n<p>The latest activity from FIN6 involves the use of social engineering to initiate contact with recruiters on professional job platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed, posing as job seekers to distribute a link (e.g., bobbyweisman[.]com, ryanberardi[.]com) that purports to host their resume.<\/p>\n<p>DomainTools said the bogus domains, which masquerade as personal portfolios, are registered anonymously through GoDaddy for an extra layer of obfuscation that makes attribution and takedown efforts more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By exploiting GoDaddy&#8217;s domain privacy services, FIN6 further shields the true registrant details from public view and takedown team,&#8221; the company said. &#8220;Although GoDaddy is a reputable and widely used domain registrar, its built-in privacy features make it easy for threat actors to hide their identities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another noteworthy aspect is the use of trusted cloud services, such as AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) or S3, to host phishing sites. What&#8217;s more, the sites come with built-in traffic filtering logic to ensure that only prospective victims are served a link to download the supposed resume after completing a CAPTCHA check.<\/p>\n<p>![Cybersecurity](data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mP8Xw8AAoMBgDTD2qgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Only users appearing to be on residential IP addresses and using common Windows-based browsers are allowed to download the malicious document,&#8221; DomainTools said. &#8220;If the visitor originates from a known VPN service, cloud infrastructure like AWS, or corporate security scanners, the site instead delivers a harmless plain-text version of the resume.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The downloaded resume takes the form of a ZIP archive that, when opened, triggers an infection sequence to deploy the More_eggs malware.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FIN6&#8217;s Skeleton Spider campaign shows how effective low-complexity phishing campaigns can be when paired with cloud infrastructure and advanced evasion,&#8221; the researchers concluded. &#8220;By using realistic job lures, bypassing scanners, and hiding malware behind CAPTCHA walls, they stay ahead of many detection tools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Found this article interesting?
