Historical OSINT - FTLog Worm Spreading Across Fotolog

December 24, 2016
In, a, cybercrime, ecosystem, dominated, by, fraudulent, propositions, cybercriminals, continue, actively, populating, their, botnet's, infected, population, further, spreading, malicious, software, while, compromising, the, confidentiality, integrity, and, availability, of, the, affected, hosts, to, a, multu-tude, of, malicious, software, while, earning, fraudulent, revenue, in, the, process, of, monetizing, access, to, the, malware-infected, hosts, further, spreading, malicious, software, while, monetizing, access, to, malware-infected, hosts, largely, relying, on, a, set, of, tactics, techniques, and, procedures, successfully, monetizing, access, to, the, malware-infected, hosts, largely, relying, on, the, utilization, of, affiliate-based, type, of, monetizing, scheme.

We've, recently, intercepted, a currently, circulating, malicious, spam, campaign, targeting, the, popular, social, network, Web, site, Fotolog, successfully, enticing, socially, engineered, users, into, interacting, with, malicious, links, while, monetizing, access, to, the, malware-infected, hosts, largely, relying, on, the, utilization, of, an, affiliate-based, type, of, monetizing, scheme.

In, this, post, we'll, profile, the, campaign, provide, actionable, intelligence, on, the, infrastructure, behind, it, and, discuss, in-depth, the, tactics, techniques, and, procedures, of, the, cybercriminals, behind, it.
