New BeaverTail Malware Targets Job Seekers via Fake Recruiters

November 26, 2024No Comments2 Mins Read

Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

A new strain of malware known as BeaverTail has recently been discovered, targeting individuals seeking tech jobs through fake recruiters. This malicious attack, part of the ongoing CL-STA-240 Contagious Interview campaign, has been identified by Unit 42. The attackers exploit popular job search platforms like LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter) by posing as legitimate employers to trick victims into downloading malware onto their devices.

Initially reported in November 2023, the campaign has since evolved, with new versions of the BeaverTail malware emerging. Recent findings reveal the use of the BeaverTail downloader, which is compiled using the cross-platform Qt framework as of July 2024. This allows the attackers to deploy malware on both macOS and Windows systems using a single source code. Updates have also been made to the InvisibleFerret backdoor, providing the attackers with enhanced control over infected devices.

The distribution of the BeaverTail malware involves disguising malicious files as legitimate applications like MiroTalk and FreeConference to deceive victims. Once installed, BeaverTail operates in the background, stealing sensitive information such as browser passwords and cryptocurrency wallet details. The malware now targets 13 different cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions, indicating a financial motive often associated with North Korean cyber actors.

The attack culminates in the delivery of the InvisibleFerret backdoor, which enables keylogging, file exfiltration, and the installation of remote control software like AnyDesk. Unit 42 has highlighted the risk of potential infiltration of companies that employ the targeted job seekers, as a successful infection on a company-owned device could lead to the theft of sensitive information.

The ongoing development of the malware code suggests that the attackers are actively refining their tactics between attacks. Unit 42 advises both individuals and organizations to remain vigilant, particularly during job recruitment processes, to avoid falling victim to sophisticated social engineering campaigns like the BeaverTail malware.
