Post Impressions:

Have you ever reposted a meme or a video on social media without specifically obtaining the original creator’s permissions? Has your company ever potentially failed to request needed permissions?
In recent months, a large-scale Phishing operation has emerged, preying on fears of Copyright infringement. Dubbed “CopyRh(ight)adamantys” by Check Point Research, this campaign weaponizes the latest version of the Rhadamanthys stealer, a sophisticated malware, and installs it as a payload on devices.

How the Campaign Works: Cyber criminals create dedicated Gmail accounts through which to distribute emails that impersonate legitimate companies – who ostensibly say that their intellectual property rights have been infringed upon. Roughly 70% of the impersonated companies are in the entertainment/media and technology space. The phishing messages themselves encourage individuals to take immediate action in order to remedy the situation. Recipients are instructed to download an archive file, which triggers the malware infection through DLL side-loading.
