Bandidos at large: A spying campaign in Latin America
released on 2021-07-08 @ 09:40:33 AM
In 2021 ESET detected an ongoing campaign targeting corporate networks in Spanish-speaking countries, with 90% of the detections in Venezuela. When comparing the malware used in this campaign with what was previously documented, they found new functionality and changes to this malware, known as Bandook. They also found that this campaign targeting Venezuela, despite being active since at least 2015, has somehow remained undocumented. Given the malware used and the targeted locale, they chose to name this campaign Bandidos.
