Exploit Kits Target Windows Users with Ransomware and Trojans | #CyberSecurity #NobodyIsperfect 

Exploit Kits Target Windows Users with Ransomware and Trojans | #CyberSecurity #NobodyIsperfect  | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it

Over the weekend and into today, four different malvertising campaigns have been redirecting users to exploit kits that install password stealing Trojans, ransomware, and clipboard hijackers.

All four of these campaigns were discovered by exploit kit expert nao_sec and are being distributed through malvertising that redirect visitors to the exploit kits landing pages. These landing pages are typically hosted on hacked sites.

Once a user visits the site, the kit's scripts will attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the visitor's browser to automatically download and install malware without the user's knowledge.

Exploit Kits umgehen erweiterten Windows-Schutz | #CyberCrime #CyberSecurity #Malware 

Exploit Kits umgehen erweiterten Windows-Schutz | #CyberCrime #CyberSecurity #Malware  | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
Das populäre Exploit-Kit Angler kann selbst speziell gehärtete Windows-Systeme erfolgreich attackieren und mit Schad-Software infizieren.

Mit Tools wie Microsofts EMET kann man ein Windows-System gegen Angriffe härten. Doch die Angreifer schlafen nicht. FireEye hat jetzt erstmals ein Exploit-Kit gesichtet, das ganz gezielt die zusätzlichen Schutzmechanismen von EMET umgeht, um sein Ziel zu erreichen: Das System des Opfers mit Malware wie Erpressungs- oder Online-Banking-Trojanern zu infizieren.

Exploit-Kits werden im Untergrund gehandelt und zum Teil auch als Malware-As-A-Service-Angebote vermietet. Seit einigen Jahren zeichnet sich dabei Angler immer wieder als technisch weit entwickelt aus. Wie FireEye dokumentiert, legen dessen Entwickler jetzt erneut nach und attackieren auch speziell geschützte Windows-Systeme.

GandCrab Ransomware Distributed by Exploit Kits, Appends GDCB Extension | #CyberSecurity #CyberCrime #Awareness 

GandCrab Ransomware Distributed by Exploit Kits, Appends GDCB Extension | #CyberSecurity #CyberCrime #Awareness  | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
A new ransomware called GandCrab was released towards the end of last week that is currently being distributed via exploit kits. GandCrab has some interesting features not seen before in a ransomware, such as being the first to accept the DASH currency and the first to utilize the Namecoin powered .BIT tld. 

First discovered by security researcher David Montenegro, researchers quickly jumped in to analyze the ransomware and post their results on Twitter. This article will dive into what has been discovered by myself and other researchers.

Unfortunately, at this time there is no way to decrypt files encrypted by GandCrab for free. This ransomware is being researched, though, and if any new information is released we will be sure to update this article.
