Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a darknet marketplace called InTheBox that's designed to specifically cater to mobile malware operators.

"The automation allows other bad actors to create orders to receive the most up to date web injects for further implementation into mobile malware," Resecurity said.

"InTheBox may be called the largest and probably the only one in its marketplace category providing high-quality web injects for popular types of mobile malware."

Web injects are packages used in financial malware that leverage the adversary-in-the-browser attack vector to serve malicious HTML or JavaScript code in the form of an overlay screen when victims launch a banking, crypto, payments, e-commerce, email, or social media app.

These pages typically resemble a legitimate bank login web page and prompt unwitting users to input confidential data such as credentials, payment card data, Social Security numbers, card verification value that's then used to compromise the bank account and conduct fraud.

The web injects can be either purchased for $100 a month or as an "Unlim" tier that enables the buyer to generate an unlimited number of injects during the subscription period.
