PULSE NAME
GoPix banking Trojan targeting Brazilian financial institutions
GoPix is an advanced persistent threat targeting Brazilian financial institutions and cryptocurrency users. It uses memory-only implants and obfuscated PowerShell scripts, evolving from previous RAT and ATS threats. The malware employs sophisticated techniques, including malvertising via Google Ads, man-in-the-middle attacks, and monitoring of Pix transactions and Boleto slips. GoPix bypasses security measures, maintains persistence, and uses robust cleanup mechanisms. It leverages multiple obfuscation layers and a stolen code signing certificate to evade detection. The threat actors carefully select victims, including financial bodies of state governments and large corporations, using legitimate anti-fraud services for targeted delivery.
