In the latest saga of cyber espionage, the technological bad boys of TA585 have emerged from their digital lair, brandishing their newly unveiled MonsterV2 malware. Like a Swiss watch of cyber mayhem, this off-the-shelf masterpiece is so sophisticated, you’ll wonder if it was crafted by a bored kid in their garage just to impress their hacker friends.
Researchers from Proofpoint, who apparently have nothing better to do than make PowerPoint presentations about cyber malice, have reported that TA585 leverages techniques such as web injections and filtering checks. Because, let’s face it, nothing says ‘we mean business’ like checking filters with the precision of a person trying to decide if their Instagram photo needs more Valencia.
Who is TA585, you ask? Imagine a group of digital ghouls realizing phishing campaigns are the millennial equivalent of the door-to-door vacuum salesperson, but with less social skills and more grammar errors. They are noted not for their charm or style, but for their ability to turn malware distribution into an art form that might someday be mistaken for a performance piece at a hipster gallery.
