Evilgrab is a type of malicious software designed to exploit and damage computer systems. It can infect a system through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites without the user's knowledge, allowing it to steal personal information, disrupt operations, or even hold data hostage for ransom.
In June 2015, Palo Alto Networks reported that the Evilgrab malware had been delivered via a watering hole attack on the President of Myanmar's website. The threat actors signed the 3102 payload with a digital certificate that was also used to sign a 9002 sample with ties to the Evilgrab payload. The domain used as the command-and-control (C2) server in this attack was hosted on the President of Myanmar's website.
The 3102 payload used in this attack appears to be related to the Evilgrab payload delivered in the May 2015 watering hole attack on the same website. This suggests that the attackers had been actively targeting the website and its users for some time. The use of a digital certificate to sign these payloads highlights the increasing sophistication of modern cyberattacks and the need for strong security measures to protect against them.
