"🔐 BBTok Banking Malware Resurfaces with a Vengeance in LATAM 🌎"
Check Point Research (CPR) has unearthed a new variant of the BBTok banking malware actively targeting over 40 banks in Mexico and Brazil. Initially discovered in 2020, this variant mimics the interfaces of these banks, duping victims into divulging their 2FA codes or payment card details. The malware, now employing diversified infection chains for different Windows versions, showcases an evolution in the threat actor's tactics, notably utilizing multi-layered geo-fencing to ensure infections are localized to Mexico and Brazil. The malware's functionality extends to process enumeration, keyboard and mouse control, alongside classic banking Trojan features like simulating fake login pages. The campaign's sophistication underscores the need for heightened vigilance when entering banking credentials online.
