Ukrainian Government Hit by Wave of Phishing Attacks: CERT-UA Warns of Malware Surge
CERT-UA warns of a new phishing campaign posing as the Security Service of Ukraine to distribute the ANONVNC malware. This malware allows remote desktop access and has infected over 100 computers, including government systems, since July 2024.
Hot Take:
Looks like the hackers are playing dress-up again, this time pretending to be the Security Service of Ukraine. If they put as much effort into honest work as they do into phishing, they might actually make a living! But instead, they’re out here distributing malware like it’s Halloween candy.
Key Points:
- New phishing campaign masquerades as the Security Service of Ukraine.
- More than 100 computers infected, including government bodies.
- Emails deliver ZIP files with MSI installers deploying ANONVNC malware.
- ANONVNC allows stealthy unauthorized remote access.
- Surge in campaigns distributing PicassoLoader malware targeting local governments.
