Security researchers uncovered a new attack targeting the financial institution such as banks in Kazakhstan, and the attack believed to be initiated by one of the Financially motivated cyber-crime gang “Cobalt”.

In order to compromise the company or bank sectors, they are sending malicious emails that look like a legitimate one from other trusted partners.
In this current attack, researchers found enough evidence that related to the Cobalt group, including a large number of similar Cobalt Strike loaders in this campaign that they used for some previous attacks.

Cobalt group is known to be mainly attacked in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and as it turns out, this is the second time that Kassa Nova bank was involved in a Cobalt Group related attack: During December 2018, a malicious attachment was sent from the e-mail address belonging to one of the bank’s employees, Checkpoint said.
