These emails include a malicious link to the spoofed SBA website that the cyber actor is using for malicious re-directs and credential stealing.

Cloud misconfigurations are no laughing matter. In its “2020 Cloud Misconfigurations Report,” DivvyCloud revealed that 196 separate data breaches involving cloud misconfigurations had cost companies a combined total of approximately $5 trillion between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019. The problem is that those costs could be even higher; as reported by ZDNet, 99% of IaaS issues go unreported. Organizations could therefore be leaking data from their cloud environments without their knowledge.

 

This reality raises several questions.

Valerian Chiochiu (aka “Onassis,” “Flagler,” “Socrate,” and “Eclessiastes”), 30, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act before U.S. District Court Judge James C. Mahan in the District of Nevada.

 

In so doing, he admitted to his involvement with the Infraud Organization, a transnational digital crime enterprise founded in October 2010 to promote carding services. It did so by directing traffic to the vending sites of its members, thereby allowing interested buyers to purchase stolen financial and banking information.

 

The Organization also offered an escrow service to facilitate illicit digital currency transactions between its members.

 

Chiochiu provided recommendations to various Infraud members on how they could develop, deploy and use malware to steal victims’ credit card data.

 

As part of his plea deal, Chiochiu admitted to having developed FastPOS, malware which made news back in 2016 for its ability to instantly exfiltrate stolen credit card data.

 

Infraud Organization caused $2.2 billion in intended losses and more than $568 million in actual losses over the course of its seven-year history.

 

Francisco Burrola, special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Las Vegas Office, explained that the guilty plea of Chiochiu marked U.S. law enforcement’s ongoing commitment to put a stop to digital criminals.
