Husband and Wife Arrested in for Ransomware Attacks on Foreign

In recent times, Eastern Europe has emerged as somewhat of a safe haven and Wild West for various cybercriminal gangs, away from U.S. authorities’ prying eyes and reach. For example, the FBI recently uncovered evidence that the infamous HelloKitty gang operates out of Ukraine.

However, the FBI and Ukrainian authorities have stepped up their cooperation throughout 2021, culminating in the arrest of 6 CLOP ransomware gang members.

UK Police Trying to Stop Worrying Increase of Child Hackers

UK police are investigating and deploying possible solutions to a concerning trend of an increasing number of young individuals showing interest in hacking and other malicious cyber activities.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) reported that its National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) noticed a 107% increase from 2019 to 2020 in police reports about students deploying DDoS attacks.

As a countermeasure, the NCA is cooperating with Schools Broadband – a specialist Internet Service provider for the education market, to show warning messages to students searching for terms relating to DDoS and other cybercrimes.

Swiss Army Bans WhatsApp Amid Security Concerns

The Swiss army has banned its personnel from using WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal. The ban also extended to other foreign encrypted instant messaging services. In place of these apps, the army suggests that the personnel use the Swiss messaging app Threema, which offers more data protection.

The Swiss army opted for a locally-developed app amid concerns about legislation in Washington. The U.S Cloud Act permits U.S authorities to access data stored by tech companies that fall under U.S jurisdiction. The U.S service providers, including WhatsApp and others, have to comply with search warrants, even if the location of the servers is outside the U.S.

Suffered a Conti Ransomware

McMenamins is a popular family-run chain of hotels, restaurants, pubs, and breweries based in Oregon and Washington. Several of its sites are in rehabilitated historical properties. The Brewers Association considers it one of the top 50 largest craft breweries in the US.

In mid-December 2021, it suffered a Conti ransomware attack that disrupted several of its computer systems. BleepingComputer, an information security & technology news site, has attributed the attack to the Conti gang. The cybercriminals have not touched customer data, but they may have compromised its employee records.

Samples Show Isn’t Invulnerable to Attacks

Apple devices are often preferred for their tighter security than devices from its biggest competitors, Samsung and Windows. However, recently discovered malicious tools show why it’s unwise to rely solely on a vendor’s reputation when it comes to your digital security.

According to Patrick Waddle, a Mac-oriented security researcher, eight new malware threats were discovered affecting Mac devices last year alone. Over the previous 6 years, Patrick has been cataloging malware samples affecting macOS systems and their infection vectors, persistence mechanisms, features & goals.

LIFARS, LLC - a Cybersecurity Company very own Senior Malware Analyst Vlad Pasca is featured in WIRED UK article: Inside , Russia’s Notorious Ransomware Gang.
The Trickbot group evolved from the banking trojan Dyre around the end of 2015, when Dyre’s members were arrested. The gang has grown its original banking trojan to become an all-purpose hacking toolkit; individual modules, which operate like plugins, allow its operators to deploy Ryuk and Conti ransomware, while other functions enable keylogging and data collection.
“I don't know any other malware families that have so many modules or extended functionalities,” says Vlad Pasca, a senior malware analyst at security company LIFARS who has decompiled Trickbot’s code. That sophistication has helped the gang, also known as Wizard Spider, collect millions of dollars from victims.
