Truebot is a highly potent malware used by the threat actor group CL0P, which has been linked to various malicious activities aimed at exploiting and damaging computer systems. It can infiltrate systems through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often unbeknownst to the user. Once embedded, Truebot can perform multiple operations such as downloading additional modules, loading shell code, side-loading DLLs, and taking screenshots to collect sensitive data. Notably, after its use, the CL0P actors make sure to delete any traces of the Truebot malware, making it even more challenging to detect and counteract. The malware was notably identified by Microsoft in late 2022 as part of a complex and interconnected malware ecosystem, with connections to other malware families like SocGholish, Cobalt Strike, IcedID, BumbleBee, and Raspberry Robin. The latter has been recognized as a precursor to Truebot among others. This intricate network of malware indicates a sophisticated and multi-pronged approach to cyber threats that requires robust and comprehensive security measures. According to trusted third parties, an MD5 Hash: 6164e9d297d29aa8682971259da06848 linked to Truebot campaigns (UNC4509) has been flagged by numerous security vendors. This hash is downloaded from a specific URL and represents a significant threat. In the case of another threat actor group, TA505, Truebot has been used to download other harmful software such as FlawedGrace or Cobalt Strike beacons, further demonstrating its versatility and utility within the cybercrime landscape.
