In one of our previous blog entries, we covered how GitHub was being used to spread malware. In this entry, we take a closer look at an individual who we believe might be connected to the threat actor behind the malware.

One of the major updates for this month’s Patch Tuesday addresses CVE-2017-0199, a zero-day remote code execution vulnerability that allowed attackers to exploit a flaw that exists in the Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) interface of Microsoft Office. This flaw is currently being exploited by the notorious DRIDEX banking trojan.

Threat actors leveraging this vulnerability do so via a spam campaign in which the attacker sends an email with an embedded Microsoft Word document to a targeted user. When the user opens the attached document, the hidden exploit code connects to a remote server that fetches malicious files, which are DRIDEX variants(detected by Trend Micro as TSPY_DRIDEX.SLP, TROJ_CVE20170199.B and TROJ_CVE20170199.C).
