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”

#university #partnership
Group-IB partners with University of Naples Federico II to set up Threat Hunting & Investigation Competence Centre 🤝
Together, we plan to advance the university’s cybersecurity branch by establishing a Threat Hunting & Investigation Competence Centre.

The supported training activities will also be open to external participants — post-graduate students, cybersecurity professionals, and companies.
University of Naples Federico II and Group-IB will be developing their cooperation around three major areas:
🔸the transfer of knowledge
🔸industry projects
🔸internships for students
“We are happy to inaugurate this competence centre in collaboration with Group-IB,” comments Matteo Lorito, the Rector of the University Federico II of Naples. “Federico II is increasingly at the forefront of training initiatives on IT security issues, with an offer that ranges from standard training courses such as degrees and advanced courses, to initiatives more oriented to the business world, such as, precisely, the Threat Hunting & Investigation Competence Centre. We aim to train innovative professionals ready for the ‘new jobs’ and new employment challenges for the current market and that of the immediate future.”

#antifraud #FHP #Forrester
Independent study: Group-IB Fraud Hunting Platform delivers a 3-year 130% ROI
The Forrester consultants interviewed a bank with experience using Fraud Hunting Platform. Prior to FHP, the organization tackled fraudulent activities using a legacy anti-fraud solution which generated a high number of false positives. The investment in Group-IB’s FHP helped the bank to reduce the false positives by 20%. Group-IB’s solution required 30% fewer OTP (SMS) for 2FA purposes, improving the bank’s customer digital experience and enabling the bank’s fraud analysts and call centers to focus on truly risky transactions.
FHP enabled the organization to protect their web and mobile channel with a higher degree of confidence as well as to detect and prevent fraud more accurately and efficiently, which generated $228K in cost savings. Altogether, Forrester’s interview and financial analysis found that the organization experienced a net present value of $639K and an ROI of 130% over three years.

Group-IB Threat Intelligence team uncovered largest networks of #fakeshops – phishing sites that imitate carding websites
Our experts analyzed how fake shop networks are created and maintained, how fake shop owners scam carders. Group-IB identified "market leaders, and estimated their profits. One of the biggest networks includes 3,000 domains and spreads the Taurus Project stealer through its websites. The tactic brought the network owners more than $1,200,000.
A large number of online fake shops create problems for underground forum users (cybercriminals) on the one hand, and can complicate work for cyber intelligence specialists on the other. Fake data published on such resources can skew statistics when monitoring and describing card shops, while designs copied from original sites can mislead even seasoned anti-fraud analysts.

#BlackMatter #Ransomware #DFIR
Today, #BlackMatter gang announced it was shutting down its #RaaS program.
BlackMatter’s announcement doesn’t mean that their affiliates will stop malicious activity. They will most likely join other RaaS programs. This might just be an attempt to have a fresh start under a different name. Just like BlackMatter was a rebranding of DarkSide, a new successor may appear soon.
Given the similarities that we observed between DarkSide and BlackMatter ransomware back in August, it's important to be aware of the latest ransomware versions' features: malware configuration, encryption mechanisms in use etc. For this purpose, Group-IB #DFIR team discovered and analyzed the latest known BlackMatter samples for Windows and Linux and estimated the number of the gang’s victims.
