Despite a major law enforcement crackdown on some of its members in 2018, the FIN7 financial hacking gang has returned with new malicious tools, including a revamped dropper and payload, as part of a new campaign, according to a recent analysis from FireEye.
For several years, FIN7 hackers targeted a wide variety of businesses, including fast-food and casual dining restaurants, hotels and casinos. In most cases, the group used spear-phishing techniques to either plant malware in a company’s IT network or target point-of-sale machines with the goal of stealing credit card and other payment data, researchers say.
