The Gipy campaign, discovered in 2023, uses an infostealer malware to target users in Germany, Russia, Spain, and Taiwan with phishing lures promising an AI voice changing application. Upon delivery, Gipy enables data theft, cryptocurrency mining, and installation of additional malware. Researchers found various malicious programs being delivered in the background. Experts advise caution due to increasing exploitation of AI tools.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
1. A campaign using the Gipy strain of infostealer malware is targeting users in Germany, Russia, Spain, and Taiwan with phishing lures promising an AI voice changing application.
2. The Gipy malware, which emerged in early 2023, allows adversaries to steal data, mine cryptocurrency, and install additional malware on the victim’s system once delivered.
3. Threat actors are using the promise of a legitimate AI voice altering application to lure victims, while covertly delivering the Gipy malware.
4. When executed, the Gipy malware launches password-protected malware from GitHub.
5. Kaspersky’s investigation into the campaign involved analyzing over 200 archives, leading them to discover various malicious tools and malware, including the Lumma password stealer, Apocalypse ClipBanker, a modified Corona cryptominer, and several RATs, such as DCRat and RADXRat, among others.
6. The researchers warn users to be cautious of the growing popularity of AI tools, as threat actors are actively seeking to exploit this trend with malicious exploits.
