We are very proud to announce that Vesta Matveeva, Group-IB’s Head of High-Tech Crime Investigation Unit in APAC, was named as one of ASEAN’s Top 30 Women in Cyber Security!
Here’s what Ms. Matveeva said in a post-ceremony interview: “It is a great honor to be among such respectful and incredibly talented cyber ladies…
The pandemic has shown how dependent we are on technologies and how vulnerable they are. The pandemic-driven shift to remote work has opened more doors for cybercriminals, making our journey more complicated. The ASEAN region is being increasingly often challenged by both financially and government sponsored hackers. I have been in cybersecurity for over 10 years, monitoring cybercriminals, deanonymizing them and helping to bring them to justice. We at Group-IB see how quickly they evolve, threatening the peaceful existence of companies, industries and even entire nations.
Fortunately, cyber resilience is something that we can control and improve. But only if we work together. All of us here are recognised experts in different areas of cybersecurity. Together we are a great power. We need to use this power to work harder and more efficiently, educate people about cyber and innovate in our field to ultimately become more cyber aware, resilient and secure.”

RUNLIR - phishing campaign in the Netherlands that instructs victims to cut up their cards
Group-IB Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-GIB) team in Amsterdam identified an unorthodox phishing campaign aimed at Dutch residents, codenamed #RUNLIR.
Our analysts identified multiple phishing websites impersonating Dutch financial organizations that are part of a single network of more than 750 connected domains. Group-IB researchers observed a very unconventional "Cut the card" phishing scheme that requires fraudsters' efforts both online and offline.
RUNLIR uses the combination unique for the Netherlands that involves the BlackTDS anti-bot service, the notorious bulletproof hosting Yalishanda and different versions of the uAdmin. This approach ensures that their phishing pages are shown to victims and not to security pros.

Scamdemic outbreak: scammers attack users in Middle Eastern countries
In a new blog post, Group-IB Digital Risk Protection team tells about a #scam targeting Middle Eastern countries. The scammers used a tried-and-tested scheme involving giveaways supposedly by popular brands, lottery games purporting to be recommended by celebrities, and fake job offers from the government.
As part of their attacks, the threat actors abused more than 130 well-known brands worldwide from sectors such as telecommunications, retail, entertainment, and etc. The fraudulent campaign targeted 16 Arabic-speaking countries: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Sudan, Morocco, Egypt, Bahrain, Iraq, Yemen, Palestine, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Algeria, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, and Oman. The attack also targeted English-speaking users from Turkey and Nigeria.
The distinguishing feature of this scam group is the use of Blogspot, a popular blogging platform, for the registration of fraudulent pages. In total, Group-IB analysts discovered more than 4,300 fraudulent pages created on Blogspot.

Group-IB at the Singapore International Cyber Week
Sergey Nikitin, Group-IB’s Global HQ COO, took part in the Ministerial Roundtable Closing Session alongside Ministers, Cybersecurity Coordinators/Heads of Cybersecurity Agencies from Singapore, Estonia, Japan, UK, US, France, and KSA last night.
Group-IB became the only private-sector player invited to the Roundtable on the opportunities and risks presented by living in the new normal of COVID-19.
In his speech, Mr. Nikitin provided his expert opinion on key issues relating to the collaboration between governments and industry in the context of the digital landscape of today. He called for the closer public-private collaboration in the areas of threat intelligence exchange, hi-tech crime investigation and awareness building.
“Cybercrime is borderless. Closer public-private collaboration globally can help pass though bureaucracy and increase the speed of cyber investigations. Cybersecurity is not a theoretical science. The lack of real-life attack management experience affects the ability to deal with modern cyber threats. Industry players and the government can join forces in awareness building and training new generation of cybersecurity experts by providing them with relevant knowledge and opportunities to apply them in real-world context”
