Leave no traces behind- D. B. Cooper in the digital age
One of the most powerful attack types modular banking malware carries out is web injections. Web injections manipulate users in real time, tricking them into playing along with the attacker’s schemes. Analyzing web injections is notoriously a way to warn banks and help protect their customers. Malware authors go to great lengths to hide their injections, fetch them in real time, and lately - deleting them entirely as a way of hiding their content and for wiping traces. Is this the end of the road for researchers looking into injections for important clues?
This brief technical session will prove that malware can run but it can’t hide. Going head-to-head with attackers means coming up with new and ingenious ways to detect attacks and stop malware in its tracks, and we will cover a special case study that you won’t want to miss.
