Description of Campaign
The APT28 threat group, also known as Fancy Bear and UAC-0028, sent phishing emails, which appeared to be sent from CERT-UA.
The emails contained a password-protected attachment with an SFX file. Once opened, an updated version of the CredoMap information stealer was deployed to the infected system.
The malware was used to send stolen credentials to actor-controlled command-and-control servers.
Our ATR Team gathers and analyzes information from multiple open and closed sources before disseminating intelligence reports. This campaign was researched by CERT-UA and
shared publicly.
