Resecurity, a cybersecurity company based in California has found a new to serve mobile malware operators and developers. Below is a summary of Resecurity’s findings.
What’s “In The Box?”
Resecurity’s cybersecurity researchers have found that the “In The Box” marketplace has been open for fraudsters and criminals on the at least since May 2020.
The marketplace has grown to be a fully-fledged facilitator of cybercrime services and is now the largest marketplace due to the unique tools and WEB injections available for purchase. These tools can be used by cybercriminals for financial fraud and online banking, as well as theft.
What are the Benefits of Web-Injects?
Similar to the , web-injects can also be used. These attacks were previously used on malware such as SpyEye and Zeus. Threat actors now know how to use the same strategy for mobile devices.
Because digital payments can be interconnected with mobile applications, web-injects are able to successfully retrieve sensitive financial information. Mobile malware can integrate web-injects to intercept banking passwords, login information for social media, and payment system credentials.
This is not the end. This tool can collect personal data, such as phone numbers, credit card information and addresses.
This Marketplace is a dangerous place!
This marketplace currently has over 1,849 malware tools available for purchase. These malicious tools are specifically targeted at major online retail and financial companies, payment system providers, and social media businesses in at least 45 different countries.
These include the United States, Brazil, Canada and Colombia. High-profile companies like Citibank, Amazon, Bank of America and PayPal have been targeted by cybercriminals. To improve the visuals and efficacy of the injects, a November 2022 update was performed in 144.
It is clear that “In The Box”, the market leader in providing webinjects to popular mobile malware types, may also be the most important.
Security
In The Box offers Web-injects at $100 per month. There is also an “Unlim” Tier that allows the purchaser to generate unlimited injects, for between $2,475 & $5,888 depending on which trojans are supported.
What is “In The Box?”?
Marketplace operators have close connections to the developers of mobile malware families such as Octopus, Cerberus and Octopus, aka Octopus, Hydra, MetaDroid and Alien. The “In The Box” actors have Web-injects that are categorized according to geography. These Web-injects can be purchased by malicious actors in order to launch attacks.
In their post , Resecurity researchers stated that “automation allows other bad actors create orders to obtain the most current web injects for further application into mobile malware.”
