URSNIF, EMOTET, DRIDEX AND BITPAYMER LINKED BY LOADER

We analyzed samples of EMOTET, URSNIF, DRIDEX and BitPaymer and found similar
payload loaders and internal data structures, possibly implying that these
different groups are familiar with and are working closely together.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As ransomware and banking trojans captured the interest – and profits – of the
world with their destructive routines, cybersecurity practitioners have
repeatedly published online and offline how cybercriminals have
compartmentalized their schemes through exchange of information and banded
professional organizations. As a more concrete proof of the way these symbiotic
relationships and work flows intersect, we discovered a connection between
EMOTET, URSNIF, DRIDEX and BitPaymer from open source information and the
loaders of the samples we had, functioning as if tasks were divided among
different developers and operators.



Figure 1. Connections of EMOTET, DRIDEX, URSNIF and BitPaymer.

BACKGROUND AND DETAILS

In order to have a better understanding of the significance of these
connections, here’s a summarized background of each malware family:

 * URSNIF / GOZI-ISFB

Still considered as one of the global top threats, this banking trojan’s source
code was among those repeatedly leaked because of its evolution and notoriety
for adaptive behaviors. This spyware monitors traffic, features a keylogger, and
steals credentials stored in browsers and applications. The malware creators of
GOZI admitted to its creation and distribution, and was sentenced in 2015 and
2016.

 * DRIDEX

Another banking trojan that targets banking and financial institutions, the
cybercriminals behind it use various methods and techniques to steal personal
information and credentials through malicious attachments and HTML injections.
DRIDEX evolved from CRIDEX, GameOver Zeus and ZBOT, and proved to be resilient
even after it was momentarily taken down in 2015 through a partnership with the
FBI.

 * EMOTET

Discovered by Trend Micro in 2014, this malware acts as a loader for payloads
such as Gootkit, ZeusPanda, IcedID, TrickBot, and DRIDEX for critical attacks.
Other publications have also mentioned observing obfuscation techniques between
EMOTET and URSNIF/GOZI-ISFB.

 * BitPaymer

This ransomware was used to target medical institutions via remote desktop
protocol and other email-related techniques, momentarily shutting down routine
services for a high ransom. Security researchers later published evidence that
not only was DRIDEX dropping BitPaymer, but that it also came from the same
cybercriminal group.

During our analysis, we found evidence that the malware families identified had
shared loaders: the overview of the payload decryption procedure, and the
loaders’ internal data structure. While the first figure of the disassembled PE
packers had small differences in their arithmetic operations’ instructions, we
found that the four payload decryption procedures were identical in data
structures’ overview on the way they decrypted the actual PE payloads.



Figure 2. Overview of identical structures of payloads’ loader decryption
procedures.

Further analysis also revealed that the internal data structure of the four
malware families were the same. We compared the disassembled codes from the
samples we had and noticed the encrypted payload address and size placed into
the decryption procedure located at offset 0x34 and 0x38.



Figure 3. Identical data structures show similar payload addresses and sizes.



Figure 4. Data structure used by the shared loader.

As cybercrime organizational structures in some countries tend to
compartmentalize work, we suspect that the four malware families’ gangs might be
in contact with the same weapon providers for PE loaders. In addition, it’s also
possible that these four cybercrime groups may establish some attributional –
working or otherwise – relationships and have exchanged or continue to exchange
resources.

In our history of monitoring botnets and the underground organizations who make
and/or use them, the cybercriminals behind EMOTET may be sharing to collaborate
with trusted, highly-skilled cybercriminal groups, and may be a sign of these
four groups’ ongoing and intriguing relationship.

Alliances like these could lead to more destructive malware deployments in the
future. More than ever, it is important for organizations to heighten
cybersecurity preventive measures, such as establishing policies and procedures
for handling security threats. Regular education awareness sessions and
reminders for employees can help protect the enterprise from attacks and
intrusions from malicious emails and URLs. Installing and updating a
multi-layered protection and solution in preventing online banking threats can
go a long way in securing businesses.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
 1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
    light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
