Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
The DarkGate malware family has become more prevalent in recent months, after one of its main competitors was taken down by the FBI.by endpoint security outfit enSilo's security maven Adi Zeligson in 2018 – but it has evolved over the years.
"If you have nine different activity sets using DarkGate – which is something that we've seen at one time – how do you know? Do you have the telemetry available to you to, with high confidence, differentiate these activity sets? It's really hard without some good collection," Blackford explained.The timing of this increase, according to both security firms, isn't a coincidence.
In a July 10 report, Palo Alto detailed one campaign that began in March and used Microsoft Excel files as the starting point. These files contained a URL that directed victims to a public-facing Samba/SMB file share with the goal being to trick victims into downloading DarkGate on their devices.
They also list 26 anti-malware products that DarkGate checks to see are operating on the target machine – including Windows Defender and SentinelOne.
