該行動嘅參與者講述了Microsoft如何消除ZLoader殭屍網絡嘅基礎設施
上個禮拜, Microsoft, ESET電子電氣設備, 黑蓮花實驗室, 帕洛阿尔托網絡, Health-ISAC and Financial Services-ISAC took control of the infamous ZLoader botnet following an injunction issued by the U.S. Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
In the end, the company seized control of 65 hard-coded domains that ZLoader operators use to control the botnet, as well as 319 more DGA-registered domains that the hackers used to create redundant communication channels.
Let me remind you that around the same time, another Botnet Fodcha Attacks More Than 100 受害者日報.
Zloader (aka Terdot 或 DELoader) is a well-known banking Trojan that was first discovered back in August 2015 during attacks on clients of several British financial companies. Its capabilities include capturing screenshots, harvesting cookies, stealing credentials and banking information, conducting reconnaissance on the device, triggering “pinning” mechanisms on the device, providing remote access to attackers, 等陣. The malware is almost entirely based on the source code of the Zeus 木馬, which leaked over a decade ago.
At first, the malware was actively used to attack banks around the world, from Australia and Brazil to North America, and its ultimate goal was to collect financial data using web injections and social engineering in order to trick infected bank customers into giving up their authentication codes and credentials.
But in recent years, Zloader has evolved to include many other features, such as being able to act as a backdoor and give hackers remote access to an infected system, and it can also be used as a malware loader and to install additional payloads.
ZLoader Attack Scheme
然而, cybercriminality does not stop – we recently reported that Cyclops Blink botnet attacks Asus routers.
Health-ISAC’s Chief Security Officer Errol Weiss said that legal solutions, such as the one that led to the fall of the ZLoader infrastructure, are being prepared in large-scale cooperation with a wide variety of organizations, including those affected by attacks by cybercriminals. 例如, such as Health-ISAC.
Weiss told SC Media that, in fact, Microsoft has gone to court to grant them ownership of the infrastructure used by the bot.
