What appears to be a new campaign delivering the Betabot malware has been detected by security researchers. "[...] The campaign discussed in our report seems less targeted, and originates from generic phishing emails."

Cybereason does not know who is behind the new campaign. "Since Betabot's source code and old builders are available online in hacking forums (or new ones sold rather cheaply ~200$), it is hard to estimate who is behind it," added Dahan.

Cybereason describes Betabot as paranoid, doing everything it can to prevent detection and maintain persistence. It seeks to detect a virtual environment by querying the registry and looking for the names of virtual machine vendors such as VMware, VirtualBox and Parallels, as well as searching for specific drivers' vendor files. It also checks for indications of a sandbox, and attempts to prevent debugging.
