Google: YouTubers’ accounts hijacked with cookie-stealing malware

Google says YouTube creators have been targeted with password-stealing malware in phishing attacks coordinated by financially motivated threat actors.
Researchers with Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), who first spotted the campaign in late 2019, found that multiple hack-for-hire actors recruited via job ads on Russian-speaking forums were behind these attacks.

The threat actors used social engineering (via fake software landing pages and social media accounts) and phishing emails to infect YouTube creators with information-stealing malware, chosen based on each attacker’s preference. Channels hijacked in pass-the-cookie attacksMalware observed in the attacks includes commodity strains like RedLine, Vidar, Predator The Thief, Nexus stealer, Azorult, Raccoon, Grand Stealer, Vikro Stealer, Masad, and Kantal, as well as open-source ones like AdamantiumThief and leaked tools such as Sorano.

Once delivered on the targets’ systems, the malware was used to steal their credentials and browser cookies which allowed the attackers to hijack the victims’ accounts in pass-the-cookie attacks.

“While the technique has been around for decades, its resurgence as a top security risk could be due to a wider adoption of multi-factor authentication (MFA) making it difficult to conduct abuse, and shifting attacker focus to social engineering tactics,” said Ashley Shen, a TAG Security Engineer.

“Most of the observed malware was capable of stealing both user passwords and cookies. Some of the samples employed several anti-sandboxing techniques including enlarged files, encrypted archive and download IP cloaking.”

Google identified at least 1,011 domains linked to these attacks and roughly 15,000 actor accounts specifically created for this campaign and used to deliver phishing emails containing links redirecting to malware landing pages to YouTube creators’ business emails.

Sold for up to $4,000 on underground marketsA significant number of YouTube channels hijacked in these attacks were later rebranded to impersonate high-profile tech executives or cryptocurrency exchange firms and used for live streaming cryptocurrency scams.

Others were sold on underground account-trading markets, where they’re worth anything between $3 to $4,000, depending on their total number of subscribers.

Shen added that Google’s Threat Analysis Group cut down phishing emails linked to these attacks on Gmail by 99.6% since May 2021. “We blocked 1.6M messages to targets, displayed ~62K Safe Browsing phishing page warnings, blocked 2.4K files, and successfully restored ~4K accounts,” Shen said.

“With increased detection efforts, we’ve observed attackers shifting away from Gmail to other email providers (mostly email.cz, seznam.cz, post.cz and aol.com).”

Google also reported this malicious activity to the FBI for further investigation to protect YouTube users and creators targeted in the campaign.

Python script to convert Ducky Script into AutoHotKey scripts

I think that the USB Rubber Ducky is such a cool and useful little tool, but it isn't exactly cheap. I have used AHK to get similar functionality a bit now, and I made this script to make converting payloads to AHK scripts a bit easier... I thought maybe I'm not the only one who could use something like this, so here is the script.

Let me know what you think about it.

Free Training on CompTIA A+ Full Course

Hi everyone,

I'm currently delivering free training on the CompTIA A+ course. The course consists of 18 modules and I will be doing a dedicated video on each module. Some of these videos might be a bit long since it will be a whole module in each video so please feel free to make use of the time stamps in descriptions if your looking for specific topics only or just want to refresh on certain topics only.

The time stamps are there to make life easier for you so it's your own fault if you end up skimming through the module back and forth like a crazy person looking for their lost teeth.

I will make 20 videos for this course, the first is just the 4min intro explaining the course, the last will be a dedicated exam tips video and then obviously the 18 videos in between will be your modules.

The training should be enough to pass both the international exams for A+ and the other courses I deliver should also be enough to pass the exams associated if there is a exam associated to that specific course.

If you have a question about a specific topic in a module or the course in general that you would like more clarity on, please feel free to ask and I will try to assist you where I can if I'm online.

Here is the course intro
