  1. A miner with a side of RAT: the unintended gift with your TV show or book

    A cybercrime campaign active since at least 2022 has been distributing cryptocurrency miners and RAT malware through illegal streaming sites and digital libraries. Victims are tricked via fake video player plugin updates or browser crash pages into downloading ZIP archives containing legitimate executables and malicious DLLs. The malware employs DLL side-loading, establishes persistence through Windows services, and deploys multiple components including XMRig-based CPU miners, GPU miners, a watchdog module, and a RAT agent with remote control capabilities. The campaign leverages highly popular pirated content sites with monthly traffic reaching up to 40 million visits, significantly expanding the potential victim pool. The malware includes sophisticated anti-detection features, DNS tunneling for command-and-control, and domain generation algorithms based on dates.

  23. TCLBANKER: Brazilian Banking Trojan Spreading via WhatsApp and Outlook

    A sophisticated Brazilian banking trojan named TCLBANKER has been identified, representing a significant evolution of the MAVERICK/SORVEPOTEL malware family. The campaign employs a trojanized Logitech installer that deploys two .NET Reactor-protected modules through DLL side-loading. The banking trojan monitors 59 Brazilian financial institutions using UI Automation and features a WPF-based full-screen overlay framework for operator-driven social engineering attacks, including credential harvesting and fake system screens. A secondary worm module enables self-propagation through WhatsApp session hijacking and Outlook COM automation, sending phishing messages from victims' own accounts. The malware implements robust anti-analysis capabilities including environment-gated payload decryption, comprehensive watchdog systems, and ETW patching. Infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare Workers, with evidence suggesting the campaign was detected in early operational stages.
