Unusual njRat campaign originating from Saudi Arabia

released on 2015-06-01 @ 05:36:52 PM
This campaign seems to be old but still running (although my infection wasn’t being manually controlled at the time). The first sample found was submitted 7 months ago. The operation seems to originate from Saudi Arabia mostly; seeing its C2 IP is a home IP address and njRat does not support proxying C2 communciations over infectees. It means this was most likely the actual operator. I have no clue on the exact targets; the website I found was a Dutch website for a hobby group not a really high-ranked target. The spreading method of a fake antivirus website was also quite confusing, normally I see these things dropping FakeAV’s as I’ve written on in the past.
