AdvIntel has released a new publication about several threat actors now using BazarCall in an effort to raise awareness of this threat.
Once done, the threat actor has a functional backdoor to the victim's computer, which can later be used for further exploitation.
Figure A. Several ransomware threat actors at stake.
The call back phishing attack is heavily tied to Conti, the infamous ransomware threat actor who broke into several different groups in 2021.
The third threat group using the BazarCall technique is Roy/Zeon.
Why is BazarCall a revolution for ransomware threat groups?
