GamaCopy’s Comedic Spy Games: A Cyber Cat-and-Mouse with Russia’s Defense
GamaCopy targets Russia by mimicking the notorious Gamaredon APT. Using military-themed bait and stealth tactics, GamaCopy has been deceiving cybersecurity experts since 2021. It cleverly disguises its attacks with open-source tools, making it the ultimate master of disguise in the world of cyber espionage.
Hot Take:
Ah, GamaCopy! When you can’t beat ’em, join ’em — or at least impersonate them. Who knew that even cybercriminals were into cosplay? Mimicking the notorious Gamaredon group, GamaCopy proves that imitation is the sincerest form of… well, cyberattack. Let’s just hope they don’t start a trend of “APT look-alikes” — the world doesn’t need a Gamaredon Comic-Con!
Key Points:
- GamaCopy, a new threat actor, mimics the Russia-linked Gamaredon APT.
- Targets Russian-speaking users with military-themed bait and 7z SFX payloads.
- Employs UltraVNC disguised as a legitimate Microsoft OneDrive executable.
- Focuses attacks on Russia’s defense and infrastructure sectors.
