Cyber Espionage on Foreign Embassies in Belarus Uncovered by Researchers

Faou describes a previously unknown threat actor operating for over a decade named Moustachedbouncer.

His malware tools include spying plugins and a screenshotter, an audio recorder, and a file stealer.

The oldest sample of NightClub dates back to November 19, 2014, and was uploaded to VirusTotal from Ukraine.

A hitherto undocumented threat actor active for nearly a decade and codenamed MoustachyBouncer has been attributed to cyber espionage attacks aimed at foreign embassies in Belarus.

Faou explains that the ISP-level traffic is altered to make it appear that the infected webpages do not originate from a captive portal but from a legitimate, but fake Windows Update URL.

For IPv6 addresses, the malicious URLs redirect to a virusTotal page masquerading as a legitimate one.
