Cybercriminals Launch Malicious Malvertising Campaign, Thousands of Users Affected

We've recently intercepted, a currently ongoing malicious malvertising attack, affecting thousands of users globally, potentially exposing their PCs, to, a multitude of malicious software, compromising, the, integrity, confidentiality, and, availability, of, their, PCs.

The campaign relies on the Angler Web malware exploitation kit, for, the, purpose of serving malicious software, on the, PCs, of, affected users exposing, their, PCs, to, a multitude, of, malicious software, potentially leading, to, a compromise, of, their, PCs. Once, users, visit, a legitimate Web site, part, of the, campaign, their, PCs, automatically become, part, of the botnet, operated, by, the, cybercriminals, behind it, with, the, campaign, relying, on, the, use, of, the, exploitation, of, a well known, client-side, vulnerability.

Cybercriminals, often, rely, on, the, use, of, compromised, accounting, data, obtained, through, active data mining, of, a botnet's infected population, for, the purpose, of, embedding, malicious, client-side exploits, on well known, and highly popular, Web sites, next, to, the, active, client-side, exploitation, of, known, vulnerabilities, found, on public, and well, known, Web sites. Yet, another highly popular attack vector, remains, the use, of compromised, advertiser network publisher's account, for, the, purpose, of taking advantage, of, the publisher's, already established, clean, network, reputation.

In this post, we'll profile, the, malicious campaign, provide, actionable, intelligence, for, the, infrastructure, behind it, provide, malicious MD5s, as, well, as, discuss, in depth, the, tactics, techniques, and procedures, utilized, by, the, cybercriminals, behind it.

Hundreds of Google Play Apps Compromised, Lead to Mobile Malware

Malicious attackers, have, managed, to, infiltrate, and populate, Google Play, with, hundreds, of rogue, applications, exposing, users, to mobile, malware, compromising, the, integrity, of, their, devices, and, exposing, them, to, misleading, advertisements. Once, a socially, engineered, user, obtains, the, application, and, execute, it, their, device, the malware, phones, back, to, a malicious URL, exposing, the, integrity, confidentiality, and, availability, of, the, device.

Malicious attackers, often, rely, on, a variety of social engineering tactics, to, obtain, access, to, a user's device, including, the use, of, compromised, publisher's accounts, obtained, through, data mining, of botnet's of infected, population. Once, access, to, a particular, publisher's account, is, obtained, the malicious attackers, would, attempt, to use, a do-it-yourself, type, of, mobile, malware, generating tool, for, the, purpose, of, modifying, a legitimate, application, for, the, purpose, of, obtaining, access, to, a user's device.

Malicious attackers, are, also, known, to rely, on secondary, marketplaces, for, the, purpose, of, attempting, to, obtain, access, to user's, device, with, the, secondary, marketplaces, populated, with, rogue, and compromised, applications.

Once, a, socially, engineered, user, obtains, an, application, their, device, automatically, becomes, part, of, a, malicious attacker's, botnet, with, the malicious, attackers, relying on, a multitude, of monetization techniques, while, earning, fraudulently, obtained, revenue, in, the, process. Malicious attackers, are, also, known, to, rely, on, rogue, and, fraudulent, affiliate networks, for, the, purpose, of, monetizing, access, to, the, obtained, hosts, through, a, variety, of, rogue, advertising, networks, largely, set, up, for, the, purpose, of, earning, fraudulent, revenue, for, the, malicious attackers.

These affiliate networks, are, known, to, provide, managed, support, including, the, systematic, rotation of the command and control, server, and, the, availability, of, various, templates, empowering, malicious attackers, with, access, to, a, variety, of, fraudulent techniques, allowing, them, to, easily, monetize, access, to, the, infected hosts.

In this post, we'll profile, profile, the, Android.Spy.277.origin, mobile, malware, found, on hundreds, of applications, at Google Play, expose, the, malicious, infrastructure, behind, it, provide, MD5s, and, discuss, in, depth, the, various tactics, techniques, and procedures, utilized, by, malicious, attackers, for, the purpose, of, spreading, mobile, malware, attempting, to, trick, users, into, executing, malicious software, on their, devices.
