Are you intrigued by cybercriminals who lack finesse yet manage to hit the mark? CosmicBeetle is one such threat actor – their rudimentary malware and convoluted techniques have led to successful attacks on high-value targets, all while flying under the radar.
In this episode, ESET’s senior malware researcher Jakub Souček delves into his exploration of CosmicBeetle’s Delphi-based toolkit, highlighting the group’s use of a GUI for malware control, complete with buttons and text fields for executing attacks.
Join Jakub and ESET Research Podcast host Aryeh Goretsky as they dissect CosmicBeetle’s encryption methods, target demographics, and connections to prominent cybercrime syndicates like LockBit and RansomHub.
To uncover how this unrefined threat actor, plagued by buggy tools, managed to breach its targets, tune in to the latest episode of the ESET Research Podcast. For more insights on CosmicBeetle and other cyber threats, follow ESET Research on Twitter and explore our latest blogs and whitepapers.
