New trojan alert!

Group-IB has discovered GoldDigger, a new Android Trojan targeting 50+ Vietnamese banking apps, e-wallets, and crypto wallets. Its goal? Swiping your funds.

What to know:

πŸ“Œ Active since at least June 2023.
πŸ“Œ Codenamed by Group-IB after β€œGoldActivity,” a specific Android activity found within the APK file.
πŸ“Œ Pretends to be a Vietnamese tax portal and an energy company, with over 10 fake websites.
πŸ“Œ The number of infected devices and the amount stolen remains unknown.

❗GoldDigger's advanced protection hinders malware analysis and detection, making it tough to trigger malicious activity in sandboxes or emulators. The most effective way to combat this is with client-side fraud protection solutions.

It looks like a job for the Responsemen!

When cybersecurity incidents occur, companies often assume they know the exact cause. However, the obvious answer is not always the correct one.

While 66% of businesses believe they may come under an insider attack, insider threats impact over 34% of companies in fact. In a recent incident response case handled by Group-IB, the affected company thought they were a victim of an insider attack. Our Responsemen had to investigate further to uncover the real cause of the incident. What is it?

Read the full story in our blog to follow a more detailed incident response process and mitigation recommendations.
