Unmasking VENOM SPIDER— the Hacker Behind Golden Chickens Malware

About this opportunity

For the past 16 months, eSentire’s security research team, the Threat Response Unit (TRU), has been tracking one of the most capable and stealthy malware suites—Golden Chickens. This malware is the “cyber weapon of choice” for two of Russia’s top cybercrime groups: FIN6 and Cobalt Group. TRU not only detected a new Golden Chickens threat campaign targeting e-commerce organizations but has also discovered the identity of the threat actors behind it. With this intelligence we deciphered the threat actor’s Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs), as well as the origins of the Golden Chickens Malware-As-A-Service (MaaS) and its ongoing operations. In this webinar on September 13, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific eSentire and (ISC)² walk you through the Golden Chickens malware suite and the reconnaissance to unmask the identity of the VENOM SPIDER. Learn more about: • A detailed account of the investigation and subsequent identification of the Golden Chickens MaaS operator • An analysis of the Golden Chickens malware and the current cyberattack campaign • Insights and threat detection recommendations on how to defend your organization from the Golden Chickens threat • An overview of the FIN6 and Cobalt Group cybercrime organizations
