FIN8 Resurfaces with Revamped Backdoor Malware
#1
Information 
Quote:The FIN8 cyberattack group has resurfaced after a period of relative quiet, researchers have found. The gang is using new versions of the BadHatch backdoor to compromise companies in the chemical insurance, retail and technology industries.
 
The attacks have been seen hitting organizations around the world, mainly in Canada, Italy, Panama, Puerto Rico, South Africa and the United States, according to an analysis from Bitdefender this week.
 
FIN8 is a financially motivated threat group whose typical mode of attack has been to steal payment-card data from point-of-sale (PoS) environments, particularly those of retailers, restaurants and the hotel industry. The group has been active since at least 2016, but its activity is characterized by periods of dormancy.
 
In this case, the last time FIN8 hit targets was mid-2019, according to Bogdan Botezatu, director of threat research at Bitdefender.
“They have been dormant for 18 months (they made big splashes in 2017 and 2019), although they have been running tests on small pools of targets,” he told Threatpost.
