New Wine in Old Bottle - New Azorult Variant Found in FindMyName Campaign using Fallout Exploit Kit
released on 2018-11-21 @ 02:06:59 PM
Observed in the wild as early as 2016, Azorult is a Trojan family which has been delivered in malicious macro-based documents via spam campaigns, or as a secondary payload in the RIG Exploit Kit campaigns. On October 20th, 2018 we discovered that new Azorult variants were being used as primary payloads in a new ongoing campaign using the Fallout Exploit Kit. We named this campaign ‘FindMyName’ because all of the final exploit pages land on the domain findmyname[.]pw. These new Azorult samples variants use advanced obfuscation techniques, such as API flooding and control flow flattening, to evade anti-virus products. Also, we discovered that Azorult has further evolved, the samples we captured support stealing sensitive information in more browsers, applications, and cryptocurrency wallets than previous versions.
