Imagine receiving a call from your IT helpdesk. The voice is calm, professional, and seems to know your system inside out. They guide you through installing a tool to fix a supposed issue. You comply, trusting their expertise. But instead of resolving a problem, you’ve just handed over the keys to your digital kingdom.
This isn’t a scene from a thriller; it’s the reality of modern cyber threats. The Luna Moth group, also known as Silent Ransom Group, has perfected this art of deception. By posing as legitimate IT support, they’ve infiltrated organizations, deploying remote monitoring tools like AnyDesk and Zoho Assist. These aren’t malicious software; they’re legitimate tools misused for nefarious purposes.
Once inside, they don’t just steal data – they hold it hostage, demanding ransoms ranging from $1 million to $8 million. Their tactics are so refined that even seasoned professionals can be duped. The use of typosquatted domains, mimicking trusted company URLs, adds another layer of credibility to their ruse.
