#phishing #Steam #CERT

Fraudsters have been creating hundreds of phishing resources mimicking Steam online gaming platform, but most of these websites looked half-baked and users easily spotted a fake.

A new threat emerged out of nowhere, and its name was browser-in-the-browser. Using the browser-in-the-browser phishing technique, hackers create a fake browser window on a phishing resource, which at first glance is indistinguishable from the authentic one. Threat actors decided to take advantage of the fact that Steam uses a pop-up window for user authentication instead of a new tab.

Since browser-in-the-browser technology poses a significant risk to users, Group-IB CERT-GIB specialists decided to analyze it in detail using an example of a phishing kit located on a resource that mimics Steam. Check out our new blog post👈

#scam #crypto

💸Crypto giveaway scams continue to soar: Group-IB has noted a fivefold increase in the number of domains used for crypto giveaway scams that involve fake YouTube streams in the first half of 2022. In addition to Vitalik Buterin, Elon Musk, and other crypto celebs, scammers started exploiting the name of Nayib Bukele, the president of Salvador.

Since Group-IB’s first report on the scheme, crypto giveaway scams evolved into an illicit market segment with multiple services that aim to facilitate fraudulent operations. According to Group-IB, 63% of the new fraudulent domain names were registered with Russian registrars, but the fake websites are primarily designed to target English and Spanish-speaking crypto investors in the US and other countries.

In the first six months of 2022, CERT-GIB identified more than 2,000 domains registered explicitly to be used as fake promotion websites.

#AttackSurfaceManagement #ASM

Imagine the following situation. In 2016, a marketing specialist makes an urgent request to the IT department to create a landing page with the domain name “promotionforthisproduct2016[.]com” in order to promote a product. The domain was created and soon thereafter the promotion ended. A year goes by and the IT specialist leaves the company. Two years later, the marketing specialist follows suit. In 2020, the company hires a new Chief Security Officer who is not told anything about the domain or the potentially vulnerable infrastructure that hosts it.

As people say, the Internet remembers everything — and not just the photos of Beyoncé or Barbra Streisand’s house, but any external IT assets that companies create. Assets can also be seen by threat actors, who can use vulnerabilities and weaknesses to carry out attacks.

Group-IB Attack Surface Management maps out the organization’s entire external attack surface, with an eye towards discovering shadow IT and other hidden risks. Check out our latest blog post to learn more about the solution👈

As part of the Interpol Major Event Support Team (IMEST), Group-IB Digital Risk Protection team contributed to the safety of the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2022.

One of the scam websites on the screenshot attempted to trick users into a fake crypto investment scam.

Group-IB findings were promptly actioned by the INTERPOL-led IMEST.

#report #banks #AttackSurfaceManagement

🏦Banks and other financial service providers are highly digitized, resulting in digital estates that are large and complex. At the same time, the global finance industry faces a hostile threat landscape. These factors lead to high levels of risk that can be difficult to manage.

To help security professionals gain a better view on industry-wide risk trends, Group-IB has created a series of reports that analyze the digital estates and attack surfaces of samples of financial services providers across 3 global regions: Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

The reports provide insights on the size of the average digital footprint, risk assessments across 8 distinct issue categories, and data-driven recommendations for strengthening security posture.
