Russian worm virus5/17/2023 Group IB says Russian banks' reliance on basic anti-virus security precautions, make them sitting ducks for criminal cyber gangs. The worm, which has looted infected banks to the tune of $25.7 million in 13 successful attacks, is now also available from off-the-shelf exploit kits following the publication of the source code on dark Web forums in February. "As a result, banks have to shut down the whole infrastructure which provokes delay in servicing customers and additional losses," says the company. Group IB, which has been tracking the malware, says Buhtrap is the first hacker group using a network worm to infect the overall bank infrastructure, significantly increases the difficulty of removing all malicious functions from the network. The "Buhtrap" group delivers its deadly payload from a simple phishing scam that masquerades as a communication from the Central Bank of Russia.
