Infoblox Threat Intel<p>The banking trojan, Octo2, now employs a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA)!<br> <br>The new variant of the Octo (ExobotCompact) banking trojan, Octo2, is targeting mobile users with several new advanced features. This malware is known for disguising itself as legitimate apps, taking control of the victim’s device to steal sensitive information and commit on-device fraud. For now, the malware has been seen in the wild in Italy, Poland, Moldova, and Hungary, masquerading as apps like NordVPN and Google Chrome. Unfortunately, given its history, it is expected to become global soon.<br> <br>This new variant, investigated by ThreatFabric, features enhanced functionalities, including a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) that dynamically changes its command-and-control (C2) server addresses, making it significantly harder to detect.<br> <br>Here are some domains associated with this new variant that we have in our collection:<br>5106c5dbc9e0d004489af35abec41027[.]info<br>7729f264dc01834757c9f06f2d313e28[.]com<br>a414602e421935fd057be3c06a3d080c[.]info<br>53cd7bfaebd095ad083c34f007469ff5[.]biz<br>5fa5009fb05a5cee1abd7a2dbb6eb948[.]net<br>8921267492331aabcb4394c801d4e490[.]shop<br>bbad1dcadd801af41da97ecf292b147f[.]xyz<br>c80530d100da2e953c21c55d7cb4b86a[.]info<br>ffce9e39ccdfbe3f1e88806545321ad7[.]org<br> <br>ThreatFabric report: <a href="https://www.threatfabric.com/blogs/octo2-european-banks-already-under-attack-by-new-malware-variant" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">threatfabric.com/blogs/octo2-e</span><span class="invisible">uropean-banks-already-under-attack-by-new-malware-variant</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dns</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfobloxThreatIntel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InfobloxThreatIntel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Infoblox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Infoblox</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Octo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Octo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Octo2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Octo2</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ExobotCompact" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExobotCompact</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Malware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IOCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IOCs</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/threatintel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>threatintel</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybercrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybercrime</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/dga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dga</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/c2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>c2</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Trojan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trojan</span></a></p>
