How does Sticky Werewolf bypass government protection?
A group of cybercriminals called Sticky Werewolf actively uses phishing emails to gain access to the systems of government organizations in Russia and Belarus. According to BI. ZONE, the group's actions have been tracked since April 2023, and at least 30 successful attacks have been carried out during this time.
Attackers use the IP Logger service to create links in phishing emails. This tool allows you to collect information about users who clicked on the link, including their IP address, location, and device specifications. This approach makes it easier to profile potential victims and allows you to focus your efforts on the most valuable targets.
A special feature of the Sticky Werewolf tactic is the use of your own domain names when creating links, which makes them less suspicious for potential victims. By clicking on such a link, the user downloads malicious files disguised as Word or PDF documents. Despite the fact that the contents of the file may look harmless, for example, like an official letter from the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the NetWire RAT malware is installed in the background on the device. This software provides attackers with access to system data, including recording from a webcam and microphone.
To mask its activity and make it harder to detect, the group uses the Themida protector, which provides obfuscation of malicious code.
