Golden Chickens is a sophisticated malware suite operated as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS). It is primarily used by notorious financial crime groups, specifically Russia-based FIN6 and the Cobalt Group, which have collectively caused financial losses exceeding USD $1.4 billion. The malware has been utilized mainly for stealing credit and banking information, but there are concerns it could be repurposed for more destructive attacks, such as ransomware.
Are Golden Chickens attacks still happening?
Yes, Golden Chickens attacks are still occurring. eSentire's Threat Response Unit (TRU) tracked multiple cyberattacks using this malware throughout 2022 and into January 2023. They detected and shut down nine separate incidents and noted two additional failed attacks, targeting companies across various industries with online payment systems.
Who are the key threat actors behind Golden Chickens?
The two main threat actors identified are known as 'Chuck from Montreal' and 'Jack.' Chuck operates under the alias badbullzvenom on underground forums, while Jack, who has been tracked back to his teenage years, has developed various malware tools and is considered a significant figure in the cybercrime landscape. Their activities have been closely monitored by eSentire's TRU, which has gathered extensive intelligence on their operations.
