During this period promotions are offered, new products are launched, and the shopping websites themselves invest all their resources to increase the volume of purchases. Unfortunately, as they say, along with the opportunities, come the risks.
Gstaticapi Credit Card Stealing Malware
A new skimmer loaded from a Magento site titled "gstaticapi" was discovered and analyzed by Sucuri researchers.
New ransomware actor OldGremlin uses custom malware
A new ransomware group has been targeting large corporate networks using self-made backdoors and file-encrypting malware for the initial and final stages of the attack.
Researchers are tracking the gang using the codename OldGremlin.
Their campaigns appear to have started in late March and have not expanded globally, yet.
Attacks attributed to this group have been identified only in Russia but there is a strong suspicion that OldGremlin is currently operating at smaller scale to fine-tune their tools and techniques before going global.
OldGremlin is using custom backdoors (TinyPosh and TinyNode) and ransomware (TinyCrypt, a.k.a decr1pt) along with third-party software for reconnaissance and lateral movement (Cobalt Strike, command line screenshot, NirSoft's Mail PassView for email password recovery).
