A new type of malicious code called DoubleFinger has been observed delivering a cryptocurrency stealer dubbed GreetingGhoul in what’s an advanced attack targeting users in Europe, the U.S., and Latin America.
The image employs steganographic trickery to conceal an encrypted payload that triggers a four-stage compromise chain which eventually culminates in the execution of the malware on the infected host.
Lozhkin calls the infection sophisticated and concerning a high level of sophistication and skill in crimeware development.
The piece of malware uses a technology called HTML5 overlays on top of legitimate cryptocurrency wallets to withdraw funds from unsuspecting victims.
He notes that the design of the overlay and its ability to work both point to well-crafted and complex crimeware.
