Speaker: Leonid Rozenberg, Cybercrime Researcher, Hudson Rock.
Infostealing malware has become a near-perfect tool for cybercriminals, enabling the theft of sensitive data with remarkable efficiency. However, there are moments when the malware backfires, exposing the attackers themselves.
This talk delves into cases where cybercriminals accidentally infected their own systems with Infostealer malware, providing Hudson Rock researchers with a rare window into their inner workings.
Through these accidental infections, Hudson Rock has been able to unmask the real identities of threat actors, uncover their modus operandi, and map the infrastructure supporting their malicious campaigns.
Beyond individuals, this cyber intelligence has shed light on connections to broader networks and other malicious actors, revealing the depth and complexity of modern cybercrime ecosystems.
In addition to these fascinating real-world cases, this session will equip attendees with practical knowledge on how to safeguard against Infostealer infections. It will address common misconceptions about this threat, ensuring that the audience leaves with a stronger awareness of how to identify, mitigate, and prevent such attacks.
