Introduction

In the past month, Morphisec has investigated the origin of several increasingly prevalent infostealers. These include Redline, Taurus, Tesla, and Amadey.

As part of our research, we identified pay-per-click (PPC) ads in Google’s search results that lead  to downloads of malicious AnyDesk, Dropbox and Telegram packages wrapped as ISO images.

Introduction

During 2021 Morphisec identified an increased usage of the “HCrypt” crypter. In this post, we will lockpick “HCrypt” – a crypter as a service that is marketed as a FUD (fully undetectable) loader for the client`s RAT of choice. We chose to dissect the crypter’s operations along with tracking several actors that utilize it.

During the first week of March, Morphisec intercepted and prevented an advanced Lokibot delivery campaign on some of its customers in the financial sector. While Lokibot has been lately reported to be delivered via impersonation of a known game launcher, previously it was also delivered through advanced AutoIt obfuscated Frenchy shellcode.
