Security Brief: Actor Uses Compromised Accounts, Customized Social Engineering to Target Transport and Logistics Firms with Malware
released on 2024-09-24 @ 05:44:32 PM
A threat actor is targeting transportation and logistics companies in North America with malware campaigns. The actor uses compromised email accounts to inject malicious content into existing conversations, making messages appear legitimate. Campaigns primarily deliver Lumma Stealer, StealC, NetSupport, DanaBot, and Arechclient2 malware. The actor employs Google Drive URLs, .URL files, and SMB for malware delivery, and recently adopted the 'ClickFix' technique. Campaigns are small-scale and highly targeted, with lures impersonating industry-specific software. The activity is believed to be financially motivated and aligns with a trend of sophisticated social engineering combined with commodity malware use in the cybercriminal landscape.
