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 March 14th, 2022 (Monday) to March 20th, 2022 (Sunday).
For the main category, info-stealer ranked top with 70.0%, followed by RAT (Remote Administration Tool) with 19.8%, downloader with 5.7%, banking malware with 3.6%, CoinMiner with 0.4%, and backdoor with 0.4%.
Top 1 – Formbook
Formbook ranked first place with 26.3%.
Like other info-stealer, it is mainly distributed through spam emails. The distributed file names are close to each other. As for the files shown in the list below, the embolden filenames changed the name of the parent folder and distributed them using email to their targets. In other words, it is assumed that the filename of the attachment (compressed file or folder in the file) is distributed after changing its name. Thus, users should be cautious when opening the attachments sent from unknown users.
