"Silence" Trojan Records Pseudo-Videos of Bank PCs to Aid Bank Cyber-Heists

itman · Nov 1, 2017

Kaspersky Lab experts have found a new trojan that was deployed to aid cyber-heists of banks in Russia, Armenia, and Malaysia. Experts named the new trojan Silence.

According to Kaspersky's GReAT investigation team, the trojan was spotted for the first time in September this year. Most of the attacks were against Russian banks.

While there are no clues to link the trojan to the infamous Carbanak gang (hacker group specialized in robbing banks), the attacker's mode of operation resembles some past Carbanak techniques. At this point, the Silence attacks could be a new Carbanak operation or the work of copycats that modeled their modus operandi based on Carbanak reports released by cyber-security firms.

A technical analysis of the Silence trojan, along with IOCs, are available in Kasperksy's report here.

Silence Gang Borrows From Carbanak To Steal From Banks

A cybercrime outfit stealing from as many as 10 banks in Russia, Armenia and Malaysia has borrowed heavily from one of the kingpins in this realm, Carbanak, which is alleged to have stolen possibly as much as $1 billion worldwide from financial organizations.

The new group has been called Silence by researchers at Kaspersky Lab who today published a report about the criminals’ activities, which bare a sharp resemblance to Carbanak. But the relationship apparently ends at imitation.

“They are not Carbanak,” said Kaspersky Lab researcher Sergey Lozhkin. “[They are] using some of the same techniques at some points, but that’s it.”
