Insikt Group has identified four distinct activity clusters associated with GrayBravo's CastleLoader malware, each with unique tactics and victim profiles. This supports the assessment that GrayBravo operates a malware-as-a-service model. One cluster, TAG-160, impersonates logistics firms and uses phishing lures with the ClickFix technique to distribute CastleLoader. Another cluster, TAG-161, impersonates Booking.com and employs similar techniques. The analysis also uncovered potential links to the online persona "Sparja" and the broader cybercriminal ecosystem. GrayBravo demonstrates rapid evolution, technical sophistication, and adaptability in response to public exposure. The report recommends various security measures to defend against these threats.

Cybercriminals are targeting trucking and logistics companies to steal cargo freight through elaborate attack chains. They compromise companies and use their access to bid on cargo shipments, which they then steal and sell. The threat actors typically deliver remote monitoring and management (RMM) tools as a first-stage payload. This cyber-enabled theft is part of a multi-million-dollar criminal enterprise that has increased due to digital transformation. The attackers use tactics such as compromising load boards, email thread hijacking, and direct targeting via email campaigns. They deliver RMM tools like ScreenConnect, SimpleHelp, and PDQ Connect, which grant full control of compromised machines. The activity has been observed since at least June 2025, with nearly two dozen campaigns in the last two months alone.

UNG0901, a threat group targeting Russian aerospace and defense sectors, has been discovered conducting a spear-phishing campaign against the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association. The operation, dubbed 'CargoTalon', utilizes a custom DLL implant called EAGLET, which is disguised as a ZIP file containing transport documents. The infection chain involves a malicious LNK file that executes the EAGLET implant, which then establishes communication with a command-and-control server for remote access and data exfiltration. The campaign employs sophisticated tactics, including decoy documents related to Russian logistics operations, and shows similarities with another threat group known as Head Mare. The attackers' motivation appears to be espionage against Russian governmental and non-governmental entities.
