ASEC Weekly Malware Statistics (July 5th, 2021 – July 11th, 2021)

The ASEC analysis team is using the ASEC automatic analysis system RAPIT to categorize and respond to known malware. This post will list weekly statistics collected from July 5th, 2021 (Monday) to July 11th, 2021 (Sunday).

For the main category, info-stealer ranked top with 53.4%, followed by CoinMiner malware with 15.5%, RAT (Remote Administration Tool) malware with 14.4%, downloader with 12.9%, ransomware with 2.7%, and Ddos with 0.8%.


Top 1 – Glupteba

Glupteba is a malware developed with Golang, taking the first place with 15.5%. It downloads various additional modules and has various features, but it is actually a CoinMiner malware that installs XMR (Monero) CoinMiner.

When Glupteba is executed, it acquires the system permission by going through UAC Bypass and using TrustedInstaller’s permission. It then disguises as a normal process named C:Windowsrsscsrss.exe and remains in the system. Afterward, Glupteba downloads additional modules such as rootkit drivers for a purpose of concealing processes and files, and ultimately installs Eternal Blue package to spread through XMR CoinMiner and SMB vulnerabilities.

So far, most of the confirmed Glupteba samples are being downloaded and distributed via PUPs. Even though Glupteba is being distributed via PUP, it takes the appearance of a MalPe packer (it is mentioned in the previous blog post).
