Protect your account with 2-Step-verification (multi-factor authentication) which provides an extra layer of security to your account in case your password is stolen.

Be aware of encrypted archives which are often bypassing antivirus detection scans, increasing the risk of running malicious files.

Enable the “ Enhanced Safe Browsing Protection ” mode in your Chrome browser, a feature that increases warnings on potentially suspicious web pages & files.

Before running software, perform virus scanning using an antivirus or online virus scanning tool like VirusTotal to verify file legitimacy.

To avoid malware triggering antivirus detections, threat actors social engineer users into turning off or ignoring warnings.

Take Safe Browsing warnings seriously.

It is also important that users remain aware of these types of threats and take appropriate action to further protect themselves. A few were observed displaying a fake error message requiring user click-through to continue execution.

Some of the samples employed several anti-sandboxing techniques including enlarged files, encrypted archive and download IP cloaking. Most of the observed malware was capable of stealing both user passwords and cookies. Related hashes are listed in the Technical Details section, at the end of this report. Open source malware like Sorano and AdamantiumThief were also observed.

Some commodity malware used included RedLine, Vidar, Predator The Thief, Nexus stealer, Azorult, Raccoon, Grand Stealer, Vikro Stealer, Masad (Google’s naming), and Kantal (Google’s naming) which shares code similarity with Vidar. We have observed that actors use various types of malware based on personal preference, most of which are easily available on Github.

This is because if the malicious file is not detected when executed, there are less artifacts on an infected host and therefore security products fail to notify the user of a past compromise. Although this type of malware can be configured to be persistent on the victim's machine, these actors are running all malware in non-persistent mode as a smash-and-grab technique. Once the target runs the fake software, a cookie stealing malware executes, taking browser cookies from the victim’s machine and uploading them to the actor's command & control servers. In this blog, we share examples of the specific tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used to lure victims, as well as some guidance on how users can further protect themselves. Moreover, to protect our users, we have referred the below activity to the FBI for further investigation. With increased detection efforts, we’ve observed attackers shifting away from Gmail to other email providers (mostly, , and aol.com).

We blocked 1.6M messages to targets, displayed ~62K Safe Browsing phishing page warnings, blocked 2.4K files, and successfully restored ~4K accounts. In collaboration with YouTube, Gmail, Trust & Safety, CyberCrime Investigation Group and Safe Browsing teams, our protections have decreased the volume of related phishing emails on Gmail by 99.6% since May 2021. The actors behind this campaign, which we attribute to a group of hackers recruited in a Russian-speaking forum, lure their target with fake collaboration opportunities (typically a demo for anti-virus software, VPN, music players, photo editing or online games), hijack their channel, then either sell it to the highest bidder or use it to broadcast cryptocurrency scams. Since late 2019, our team has disrupted financially motivated phishing campaigns targeting YouTubers with Cookie Theft malware. Google’s Threat Analysis Group tracks actors involved in disinformation campaigns, government backed hacking, and financially motivated abuse.
