Victims lose over $32m to business e-mail impersonation scams in first 9 months of this year: Singapore Police

Police on Tuesday (Nov 26) warned businesses against falling for e-mail impersonation scams, with more than $32 million lost between January and September this year.  In these scams, the victims were tricked into transferring money to business partners or to employees as salaries, only to discover later that the accounts they transferred the money to were controlled by scammers who used hacked or spoofed e-mail accounts to ask for the money. A total of 276 reports were received in the first nine months of this year and a new twist of the scam is also emerging, the police said in a statement. The scammers used to pretend to be chief executive officers, business partners or suppliers, but they are now also passing themselves off as employees of the company.

PureLocker: the unusual ransomware that encrypts servers

While we know who the victims of these ransomware attacks are, more often than not, the strain of malware used in the incidents remains unknown. PureLocker is a piece of ransomware that is being used in targeted attacks against company servers, and seems to have links with notorious cybercriminal groups. The source code of PureLocker offers some clues as to its exclusive nature, such as the fact that it contains strings from the ‘more_eggs’ backdoor malware, which is sold by ‘veteran’ malware service providers. The similarities between this malware and PureLocker suggest that it possible that this ransomware starts the same way. This means that, even if a piece of malware contains mechanisms to hinder the creation of detection signatures, as is the case with PureLocker, our advanced cybersecurity solution is capable of detecting and blocking the threat. Don’t become the next victim of PureLocker, and protect yourself with Panda Security.
