A Pakistan-based malware syndicate is conducting widespread infostealer attacks globally, operating a sophisticated network of operators and affiliates. The group has a multi-million-dollar cyber crime business, potentially multi-generational in nature. Roles within the group vary, from primary operators managing networks to affiliates generating traffic through warez sites. They lure victims using Search Engine Optimization poisoning and spam, employing paid ads to attract more traffic to their malicious domains. The infostealers target sensitive data, which is later monetized, demonstrating the effective blend of cybersecurity risks within legitimate online spaces.
The group commands a sprawling network of operators, affiliates, and infrastructure, creating a multi-million-dollar cyber crime business.
