Trend Micro analysts recently made a startling discoveryâa previously unknown ALPHV ransomware infection vector that capitalizes on the popularity of WinSCP. The BlackCat attackers cleverly leverage the trust users place in WinSCP, which boasts an impressive 400,000 weekly downloads on SourceForge alone. By mimicking the official WinSCP website, BlackCat attempts to infect the computers of system administrators, web admins, and IT professionals, gaining initial access to valuable corporate networks.
The attack, known as BlackCat and detected by Trend Micro, begins with an unsuspecting victim conducting a seemingly innocent search for "WinSCP Download" on widely-used search engines such as Bing or Google. However, in a cunning move, the malicious results are strategically promoted above genuine sources, luring the victim's attention. Unaware of the impending danger, users unwittingly click on these deceptive ads, redirecting them to websites that appear to offer tutorials on automated file transfers utilizing WinSCP. Little do they know that these websites harbor sinister intentions and serve as the launchpad for the orchestrated attack.
