Cybercriminals are selling custom Raspberry Pi software called 'GEOBOX' on Telegram, which allows inexperienced hackers to convert the mini-computers into anonymous cyberattack tools.
GEOBOX is sold on Telegram channels for a subscription of $80 per month or $700 for a lifetime license, payable in cryptocurrency.
The researchers acquired the GEOBOX software for analysis and warned in a report today that it is a highly capable tool that can complicate law enforcement tracking and investigation.
The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive yet capable system that can be bought for as little as $35, making it an excellent disposable tool for cyberattacks.
The GEOBOX Raspberry Pi software discovered by Resecurity acts as a cybercrime application suite focuses on fraud and anonymization, making it a potent tool for illicit online activities.
Although GEOBOX doesn't introduce any functionality that is not already available in standalone tools or specialized Linux distros, like Kali Linux, its comprehensive and user-friendly suite makes it ideal for users looking to swiftly deploy new, disposable hacking devices.
