Venom Spider

Venom Spider is a potent and stealthy malware suite, operated by a threat actor of the same name. Identified by Elite Threat Hunters, Venom Spider, also known as badbullzvenom, operates under a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model. This means that the malware is provided as a service to other cybercriminals who can use it for their own malicious purposes. The malware suite is part of the Golden Chickens toolkit, which includes more_eggs, a powerful tool used extensively in cybercrime activities. More_eggs, also referred to as Golden Chickens, has been identified as the "cyber weapon of choice" for Russia-based cyber gangs, including FIN6 and Cobalt Group. These groups are notorious for their cybercrime activities, using the tools provided by Venom Spider to carry out their operations. eSentire, a cybersecurity company, revealed the identity of the individual behind the Venom Spider operation earlier this year, unmasking him as a Romanian man. The distribution methods for Venom Spider's malware vary, making it a versatile and unpredictable threat. Historically, a common denominator among different threat campaigns by Venom Spider is the backdoor technique, allowing unauthorized access into targeted systems. Countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia have become prime targets for these cyberattacks. The discovery of Venom Spider's identity marks a significant step in tracking and combating the cyber threats posed by this actor and the notorious Russian cyber gangs that utilize his services.
