Insikt Group has uncovered new infrastructure and malware associated with GrayAlpha, a cyber threat actor with ties to the financially motivated group FIN7. Specifically, three primary infection vectors have been identified: fake browser updates, malicious 7-Zip download pages, and a traffic distribution system (TDS) known as TAG-124, which had not been linked to GrayAlpha previously. The threat actor employs a new PowerShell loader called PowerNet and an obfuscated variant of FakeBat dubbed MaskBat, both of which facilitate the delivery of the NetSupport Remote Access Trojan (RAT)..
