"New Horabot Campaign Takes Over Victim's Gmail, Outlook Accounts"

Since at least November 2020, a previously unknown campaign involving the Horabot botnet malware has been targeting Spanish-speaking users in Latin America, infecting them with a banking Trojan and spam tool. The malware allows the operators to seize control of the victim's Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, or Yahoo email accounts. They could steal incoming email data and two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, and send phishing emails from the compromised account. The new Horabot operation was discovered by Cisco Talos analysts, who report that the threat actor responsible for it likely resides in Brazil. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the new Horabot campaign.
