A 27-year-old Russian national has been sentenced to over three years in prison for peddling financial information, login credentials, and other personally identifying information (PII) on a now-defunct dark web marketplace called Slilpp.

Georgy Kavzharadze, 27, of Moscow, Russia, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud earlier this February. In addition to a 40-month jail term, Kavzharadze has been ordered to pay $1,233,521.47 in restitution.

The defendant, who went by the online monikers TeRorPP, Torqovec, and PlutuSS, is believed to have listed over 626,100 stolen login credentials for sale on Slilpp and sold more than 297,300 of them on the illicit marketplace between July 2016 and May 2021.

"Those credentials were subsequently linked to $1.2 million in fraudulent transactions," the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) said.

"On May 27, 2021, Kavzharadze's account on Slilpp listed 240,495 login credentials for sale that would allow the buyer to use the information to steal money from the victim's online payment and bank accounts."

Kavzharadze is estimated to have made no less than $200,000 in profits from the sale of stolen credentials. In August 2021, he was charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud, bank fraud, access device fraud, and aggravated identity theft. He was subsequently extradited to the U.S. to face the charges.

Slilpp was one of the largest marketplaces that specialized in the sale of login credentials until June 2021, when its infrastructure was dismantled as part of an international law enforcement operation involving authorities from the U.S., Germany, the Netherlands, and Romania.

It had been in operation since 2012, selling more than 80 million login credentials from over 1,400 companies.

Russian Hacker Jailed 3+ Years for Selling Stolen Credentials on Dark Web

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a sophisticated information stealer campaign that impersonates legitimate brands to distribute malware like DanaBot and StealC.

The activity cluster, orchestrated by Russian-speaking cybercriminals and collectively codenamed Tusk, is said to encompass several sub-campaigns, leveraging the reputation of the platforms to trick users into downloading the malware using bogus sites and social media accounts.

"All the active sub-campaigns host the initial downloader on Dropbox," Kaspersky researchers Elsayed Elrefaei and AbdulRhman Alfaifi said. "This downloader is responsible for delivering additional malware samples to the victim's machine, which are mostly info-stealers (DanaBot and StealC) and clippers."

Of the 19 sub-campaigns identified to date, three are said to be currently active. The name "Tusk" is a reference to the word "Mammoth" used by the threat actors in log messages associated with the initial downloader. It's worth noting that mammoth is a slang term often used by Russian e-crime groups to refer to victims.

The campaigns are also notable for employing phishing tactics to deceive victims into parting with their personal and financial information, which is then sold on the dark web or used to gain unauthorized access to their gaming accounts and cryptocurrency wallets.

The first of the three sub-campaigns, known as TidyMe, mimics peerme\[.\]io with a lookalike site hosted on tidyme\[.\]io (as well as tidymeapp\[.\]io and tidyme\[.\]app) that solicits a click to download a malicious program for both Windows and macOS systems that's served from Dropbox.

The downloader is an Electron application that, when launched, prompts the victim to enter the CAPTCHA displayed, after which the main application interface is displayed, while two additional malicious files are covertly fetched and executed in the background.

Both the payloads observed in the campaign are Hijack Loader artifacts, which ultimately launch a variant of the StealC stealer malware with capabilities to harvest a wide range of information.

RuneOnlineWorld ("runeonlineworld\[.\]io"), the second sub-campaign, involves the use of a bogus website simulating a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game named Rise Online World to distribute a similar downloader that paves the way for DanaBot and StealC on compromised hosts.

Also distributed via Hijack Loader in this campaign is a Go-based clipper malware that's designed to monitor clipboard content and substitute wallet addresses copied by the victim with an attacker-controlled Bitcoin wallet to perform fraudulent transactions.

Rounding off the active campaigns is Voico, which impersonates an AI translator project called YOUS (yous\[.\]ai) with a malicious counterpart dubbed voico\[.\]io in order to disseminate an initial downloader that, upon installation, asks the victim to fill out a registration form containing their credentials and then logs the information on the console.

The final payloads exhibit similar behavior as that of the second sub-campaign, the only distinction being the StealC malware used in this case communicates with a different command-and-control (C2) server.

"The campaigns \[...\] demonstrate the persistent and evolving threat posed by cybercriminals who are adept at mimicking legitimate projects to deceive victims," the researchers said. "The reliance on social engineering techniques such as phishing, coupled with multistage malware delivery mechanisms, highlights the advanced capabilities of the threat actors involved."

"By exploiting the trust users place in well-known platforms, these attackers effectively deploy a range of malware designed to steal sensitive information, compromise systems, and ultimately achieve financial gain."

Russian Hackers Using Fake Brand Sites to Spread DanaBot and StealC Malware

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered new stealer malware that's designed to specifically target Apple macOS systems.

Malware / Browser Security

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered new stealer malware that's designed to specifically target Apple macOS systems.

Dubbed Banshee Stealer, it's offered for sale in the cybercrime underground for a steep price of $3,000 a month and works across both x86\_64 and ARM64 architectures.

"Banshee Stealer targets a wide range of browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, and around 100 browser extensions, making it a highly versatile and dangerous threat," Elastic Security Labs said in a Thursday report.

The web browsers and crypto wallets targeted by the malware comprise Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Yandex, Opera, OperaGX, Exodus, Electrum, Coinomi, Guarda, Wasabi Wallet, Atomic, and Ledger.

It's also equipped to harvest system information and data from iCloud Keychain passwords and Notes, as well as incorporate a slew of anti-analysis and anti-debugging measures to determine if it's running in a virtual environment in an attempt to evade detection.

Furthermore, it makes use of the CFLocaleCopyPreferredLanguages API to avoid infecting systems where Russian is the primary language.

Like other macOS malware strains such as Cuckoo and MacStealer, Banshee Stealer also leverages osascript to display a fake password prompt to trick users into entering their system passwords for privilege escalation.

Among the other notable features include the ability to collect data from various files matching .txt, .docx, .rtf, .doc, .wallet, .keys, and .key extensions from the Desktop and Documents folders. The gathered data is then exfiltrated in a ZIP archive format to a remote server ("45.142.122\[.\]92/send/").

"As macOS increasingly becomes a prime target for cybercriminals, Banshee Stealer underscores the rising observance of macOS-specific malware," Elastic said.

The disclosure comes as Hunt.io and Kandji detailed another macOS stealer strain that leverages SwiftUI and Apple's Open Directory APIs for capturing and verifying passwords entered by the user in a bogus prompt displayed in order to complete the installation process.

"It begins by running a Swift-based dropper that displays a fake password prompt to deceive users," Broadcom-owned Symantec said. "After capturing credentials, the malware verifies them using the OpenDirectory API and subsequently downloads and executes malicious scripts from a command-and-control server."

This development also follows the continued emergence of new Windows-based stealers such as Flame Stealer, even as fake sites masquerading as OpenAI's text-to-video artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Sora, are being used to propagate Braodo Stealer.

Separately, Israeli users are being targeted with phishing emails containing RAR archive attachments that impersonate Calcalist and Mako to deliver Rhadamanthys Stealer.
