Hackers Love Freebies: How Malicious Actors Exploit Free Online Services!
Cybercriminals love free services as much as we love free samples at the grocery store. Why build costly C2 infrastructures when you can piggyback on legitimate services like gofile.io? These sneaky tactics make their traffic as undetectable as a chameleon at a paint store sale.
Hot Take:
Why do the hard work of setting up your own evil lair when you can just squat in someone else’s backyard for free? Cyber baddies have found a way to turn innocent file-sharing sites into their own personal hideouts. Who knew being a digital miscreant could be so cost-effective?
Key Points:
- Cybercriminals are exploiting free online services to avoid setting up their own infrastructure.
- Anonfiles.com was one such service that shut down due to rampant abuse.
- Gofile.io is currently being used by hackers to exfiltrate data via infostealers.
- Despite anonfiles.com being defunct, some scripts still attempt to use it as a fallback.
- Alternatives like file.io, transfer.sh, and others are used by cybercriminals for similar purposes.
