Unwrapping Cyber-Grinch: A Hilarious Take on APT28’s Phish-mas Heist
Welcome to Phish-mas, where Ukraine’s CERT unwraps the season’s least wanted gift – a new APT28 phishing campaign. Now, these aren’t your bubbly champagne toasts, but a cocktail of malware, with a splash of Python downloader ‘MASEPIE’, a shot of data-stealing ‘STEELHOOK’, and a chaser of ‘OCEANMAP’ backdoor. APT28’s party is fast, furious, and frighteningly festive.
Hot Take:
It's beginning to look a lot like Phish-mas, everywhere you click. Ukraine's CERT has unwrapped a naughty present from Russian-linked APT28, aka Fancy Bear or Strontium, and it's not a bottle of vodka or a matryoshka doll. Instead, it's a phishing campaign filled with more malware than a stocking full of coal. It's a reminder that in the world of cybercrime, the Grinch is real, and he doesn't care if you've been naughty or nice.Already a member? Log in here
