  1. What the Source Leak Says About HookBot

    ERMAC and HookBot are two branches of one Android banking trojan sold as a service, forking from shared code originating with Cerberus. A copy of the builder, Laravel backend, and React panel leaked in August 2025, enabling unrelated operators to deploy panels with default credentials and keys still in place. The lineage runs Cerberus to ERMAC to Hook, confirmed through source code analysis showing identical database migrations and network protocol structures. HookBot added VNC remote control and 38 new commands while maintaining ERMAC's core. The leaked source includes a Docker stack, Obfuscapk builder, and IP-whitelist firewall that hides panels but leaves the builder port exposed. Operators target 484 apps across 40+ countries including Japanese banks, Brazilian financial institutions, Turkish banks, and cryptocurrency wallets. Detection artifacts survive in builder obfuscator flags and favicons, while panel titles remain easily changed.

  2. Grandoreiro goes north: From Brazil to Mexico with a new DLL sideloading campaign

    Grandoreiro, a notorious banking trojan active since 2016 across Latin America, continues operations despite major law enforcement disruption in 2024. Recent campaigns leverage DLL sideloading techniques, abusing the legitimate Duplicate Files Finder application to execute malicious code. The loader incorporates extensive anti-analysis mechanisms including sandbox detection, virtual machine artifact checks, process blacklisting, and environment profiling to evade automated analysis systems. These defensive checks occur before C2 contact, indicating high priority on avoiding detection. Telemetry from June 2026 shows activity concentrated in Latin America, primarily Mexico, with limited presence in Europe and North America. The malware uses custom string obfuscation combining proprietary decryption with Base64 encoding, and communicates with C2 infrastructure over TCP port 6432 using encrypted requests containing host-specific information.

  3. Striking gold: Inside the GoldDigger Android malware

    GoldDigger is a sophisticated Android banking trojan that primarily targets mobile banking users in South Africa and across Europe, with evidence suggesting plans for global expansion. The malware employs advanced evasion techniques including a custom packer called 'dpt-shell', anti-debugging mechanisms, and Frida detection. It disguises itself as legitimate airline and shopping applications to deceive victims. GoldDigger exploits Android Accessibility services to perform on-device fraud, steal credentials, intercept SMS-based two-factor authentication, and execute unauthorized transactions. A unique feature is its ability to run targeted banking applications in a virtual environment, allowing complete interception of API calls and runtime behavior. The malware maintains communication with command-and-control servers via encrypted WebSocket protocol, enabling capabilities including screen recording, audio capture, phishing overlays, and remote device manipulation.
