Understanding the Threat
Anatsa is classified as a Trojan virus. Trojans can damage or steal personal information from your computer or mobile phone once they are installed. The Trojan Horse is the name of this Trojan because it stealthily sneaks into your computer or phone and pretends to be another program.
The Anatsa trojan aims to steal your sensitive information, such as your credit card number or bank login. This is done by tricking the user into entering their details on a fake screen, and then tracking what they type.
Anatsa has advanced features such as Device-Takeover Fraud, which allows it to take control of your device and bypass the security measures at your bank. Then, it steals your mobile banking login credentials. Even starts making purchases without your knowledge.
The Anatsa Trojan has been made more dangerous by its creators. In March 2023 they launched a new campaign, which targeted banks in the U.S., U.K. and certain parts of Europe. This malware has infected more than 30,000 devices.

Scammers use government websites to advertise hacking services
People trust government websites. Threat actors, however, use this trust to their own harmful ends. Scammers have recently advertised their hacking services on official websites. This is why companies should be vigilant and implement more robust computer security to prevent being affected.
Hackers use flaws to spread SEO spam
Scammers exploited vulnerabilities in US government websites to advertise their hacking services. Also affected were a federal agency and several colleges.
Hacking services were offered for sale in the ads disguised as PDFs. Links were provided to sites that showed different social media accounts that had been hacked. Also, they offered services to create fake followers or cheat in video games. Ads were being used to sell "safe and easy" hacking tools that did not have any hidden agendas. On some websites, the names and pictures of people whose accounts had been hacked were visible. According to the dates of the PDF files, these ads were likely there for a long time.
Experts say that hackers used open-source software to create popups to verify website visitors. The SEO PDF ads were displayed on official websites due to security flaws. The hacking services that were advertised are likely part of a click-fraud campaign designed to steal money from users.
This complex attack was undetected for some time, but it could have gone much worse. The criminals could instead have used infected content or links to upload to PDFs, rather than try to sell scam services. This could have resulted in a data breach of massive proportions and other serious consequences. Businesses should be aware that website vulnerabilities can host SEO spam.
Business owners, take action to prevent security problems
Cybercriminals exploit any weaknesses. Businesses must be alert to possible vulnerabilities, correct them and implement strong security measures. Businesses must train staff to recognize and avoid threats in order to build a strong defense. Scammers and hackers are a threat to businesses and their clients. Therefore, it is important that they take the necessary steps against these.
