Evilnum is a financially motivated threat group targeting financial technology companies, particularly in the United Kingdom and European Union. Its operations use spearphishing and identity-verification lures to compromise financial-sector employees and obtain credentials and other valuable information. Documented delivery methods include emails linking to ZIP archives hosted on Google Drive and malicious shortcuts disguised as customer identity documents, including passports. Evilnum uses multistage infection chains to deploy additional tools and payloads. Activity attributed to the group has employed signed installers, encrypted shellcode, image steganography, command obfuscation, startup-based persistence, and host profiling. The group can collect email credentials and has deleted files used during infection to reduce forensic evidence. Water Hydra, also known as DarkCasino, is a distinct threat group whose early activity was initially attributed to Evilnum because of similarities in phishing techniques and other operational behaviors. DarkCasino-associated targeting and exploitation should not automatically be attributed to Evilnum.
