Threats Tagged 'ton blockchain'

Threat actors are targeting the accommodation industry with email campaigns containing fake guest complaints and inquiries. These emails deliver malicious LNK shortcut files disguised as images, which deploy blockchain-abusing malware families EtherRAT and TONResolver. These malware variants use public blockchain APIs for command and control infrastructure resolution, enabling dynamic infrastructure rotation and evasion of traditional takedown methods. The campaigns evolve from earlier Booking.com spoofing operations and likely use generative AI to create unique email variants, complicating detection.
