Cloud Atlas Uses VBCloud Backdoor in 2024 Cyberattacks

/ 1 min read

🦠 Cloud Atlas employs new VBCloud backdoor in 2024 cyberattacks. The cybercriminal group Cloud Atlas, active since 2014, has updated its toolkit to include the VBCloud backdoor, which facilitates data theft from infected systems. Victims are typically targeted through phishing emails containing malicious documents that exploit a known vulnerability. Once executed, the malware downloads additional components, including the VBShower and PowerShower backdoors, to collect and exfiltrate sensitive information. The majority of attacks in 2024 were reported in Russia, with isolated incidents in several other countries. This evolution in their tactics highlights the ongoing need for organizations to enhance their cybersecurity measures and employee training to mitigate such threats.
