An investigation beginning with a single RedLine Stealer C2 server from VMRay UniqueSignal evolved into uncovering a targeted Business Email Compromise campaign against South Korean maritime infrastructure. The analysis started with IP 194.156.79.122 on port 55615, leveraging fingerprinting techniques through FOFA and VirusTotal to identify additional C2 infrastructure. Pivoting through communicating files revealed spear-phishing emails targeting Kangrim Heavy Industries, a major South Korean marine boiler manufacturer. The campaign delivered Formbook malware through impersonated maritime supply chain companies. Further infrastructure analysis identified seven fraudulent domains hosted on TheHost LLC infrastructure, utilizing similar naming patterns and TLS certificates. The attack demonstrates sophisticated BEC tactics combining malware delivery with social engineering, mimicking legitimate business correspondence within the maritime shipping sector.

In May 2026, an attack campaign targeting banking users in Spain and Portugal was identified involving the Ousaban banking Trojan. The malware, previously active in Brazil, spreads through phishing PDFs that redirect victims to malicious webpages performing environment checks to ensure targets are located in Spain or Portugal. The attack chain involves VBS scripts downloading steganographic images containing the payload, which is then dropped and executed on victims' systems. Ousaban establishes persistence, monitors banking activity across multiple financial institutions, and uses daily-changing DDNS domains to resolve C2 server addresses. The malware employs screenshot capture, keylogging, clipboard injection, and remote control capabilities to steal banking credentials. It utilizes custom encryption algorithms and geofencing techniques to evade detection and limit exposure to intended targets.
