A sophisticated phishing kit has been used by multiple cybercrime groups to target high-ranking employees in North America and other parts of the world, and researchers believe there are at least 150 victims.
The emails and PDF documents used in the PerSwaysion campaign have been created with a phishing kit and an associated PDF generator that Group-IB believes was developed by someone in Vietnam.
The phishing kit is offered based on a malware-as-a-service model and its creators do not appear to be using it themselves.
The phishing kit includes a feature that sends an email to the cybercriminals as soon as someone enters their credentials on a phishing site.
One of the groups using the phishing kit has members in Nigeria and South Africa.
