Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
6 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
In order to deceive unsuspecting individuals into installing malware, the threat actors employ a hybrid attack using two SMS messages and a phone call. First, the victim receives an SMS message that instructs them to call a number if they did not authorise a transaction involving a large amount of money... A second SMS is sent during the phone call, where the victim is instructed into installing a trojanised version of the McAfee Security app from a link.
Vultur has improved upon its anti-analysis and detection evasion techniques by... Using native code in order to decrypt payloads; Spreading malicious code over multiple payloads; Using AES encryption and Base64 encoding for its C2 communication.
