The Bumblebee malware loader, initially linked to ransomware groups, has resurfaced using old-school VBA macros to target US organizations in a new campaign. Its reappearance signals a change in attack tactics, bucking the trend towards more advanced methods. Although this may seem outdated, vigilance and security measures should not be underestimated.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
– The Bumblebee malware loader, previously vanished from the internet, has reappeared and is using a different attack chain with a focus on malicious VBA macros in its latest campaign.
– The current campaign is targeting organizations in the US with emails using the subject line “Voicemail February” and sent from [email protected].
– The email contains a link to a OneDrive URL with a Microsoft Word document containing a malicious macro.
– Despite the use of outmoded attack tactics, such as VBA macros, organizations should still be vigilant and train users to recognize and report suspicious activity.
– It is advised to keep Windows and Microsoft Office installations up to date and ensure that macros are disabled by default.
