Researchers with Flashpoint said Wednesday that they have discovered a new administrative panel and two previously unseen malware samples, dubbed SQLRat and DNSBot, in a series of Fin7 campaigns. The campaigns, which may have started as early as January 2018, are hitting businesses with malware embedded in documents and sent via phishing emails, in hopes of stealing payment cards.

“Despite the arrests of three prominent members of the Fin7 cybercrime gang beginning in January 2018, attacks targeting businesses and customer payment-card information did not cease,” Flashpoint Principal Threat Researchers Joshua Platt and Jason Reaves said in a Wednesday analysis.
