Cyber attackers, who have been carrying out massive attacks in almost every area, have deeply affected the aviation and space industry. In different areas. The emerging virus attacks not only steal information from other people but also cause financial damage.
With the work called ESET's "Operation Interception" in recent days, different findings have emerged. Until today, we have been accustomed to infecting viruses via messages sent to mobile phones or computers . This time, however, the attackers started to spread Linkedin-based viruses.
“The event starts with a Linkedin message,” said Jean-Ian Boutin, Chief of Threat Research at ESET Canada. The message is a very convincing job offer, which appears to be sent from a well-known company in the relevant industry. Of course, the Linkedin profile is fake and the files sent in the message are malicious. ” He deciphered the attacks.
He said that these attacks have a very effective hiding method. Sometimes you can immediately understand that there is a virus in the attacks. However, this time we can say that it is very different from the others. Effective storage method is used. In e-mailed messages, attackers prefer to use e-mail accounts that match fake Linkedin contacts.
ESET researchers said, “This monetization attempt to access the victim's network is yet another reason for both creating a strong defense against infiltration and providing cyber security training to employees. Such training could also help employees understand less well-known social engineering techniques, such as those used in this attack attempt. ”
