Threat actors have launched the 'Eternity Project,' a new malware-as-a-service where threat actors can purchase a malware toolkit that can be customized with different modules depending on the attack being conducted.
The malware toolkit is modular and can include an info-stealer, a coin miner, a clipper, a ransomware program, a worm spreader, and soon, also a DDoS bot, each being purchase seperately.
The developer sells the Eternity Worm for a whopping $390, giving the malware the capability to spread on its own via USB drivers, local network shares, local files, cloud drives, Python projects, Discord accounts, and Telegram accounts.
Finally, Eternity ransomware, the most expensive module, is $490. It supports offline encryption using a combination of AES and RSA and targets documents, photos, and databases.
Interestingly, the ransomware module offers an option to set a timer that renders the files completely unrecoverable when it expires.
Analysts at Cyble who discovered the Eternity Project told Bleeping Computer that while they didn't have the chance to examine all of the modules yet, they have seen samples of the malware circulating and used in the wild, and all user comments on Telegram point to this being a real threat.
