Grande Misha Trojan Sold on Hacking Forums
The Granda Misha Trojan is an impressive malware package that is being advertised on hacking forums. Its creators are planning to rent it out to other criminals, or to sell fulltime licenses to those who are willing to pay a higher price. However, Granda Misha Trojan is different than other malware-as-a-service projects – because of the features it packs.
Often, malware-for-rent ends up having one or two modules that could cause issues. Granda Misha Trojan's advertisements shows that this package contains a long list of dangerous modules:
- A ransomware module, which can lock files and extort users for money.
- Information stealer targeting popular Web browsers and cryptocurrency walleyes.
- Clipboard hijacker that could help steal cryptocurrency transactions.
- Keylogger.
- Trojan Loader to run additional malware.
The initial price of the Granda Misha Trojan is $1,200, which makes it approachable by beginner cybercriminals. Needless to say, it will be very dangerous if the Granda Misha Trojan ends up being used by dozens of criminals around the world. Unfortunately, there is nothing to stop the distribution of such projects, which are being sold. Thankfully, you can take extra measures to protect yourself from them. Use an up-to-date security tool at all times, and make sure to stay away from suspicious websites or pirated downloads.
