FIN7 hacking group returns with new methods and members, what should you look out for?
A report from Mandiant details the resurfacing of the FIN7 hacking group and the collective's use of new hacking tools along with an expanding roster of attackers.
The group, also known as Carbanak, has allegedly been tying together several uncategorized hacking teams under the FIN7 umbrella and has been linked to ransomware implementers such as REvil, Darkside, Blackmatter and ALPHV. These revelations have also pointed towards a broadening of the FIN7 group's approach and targets for hacking as well.
The group then leverages password reuse for software supply chain attacks, one of the FIN7's new areas to target.
Mandiant estimates that up to 17 UNCs may be associated with FIN7 to varying degrees, making the group harder to track due to its numerous members and differing methods of hacking, from ransomware to malware and backdoors.
