Jakub Křoustek, Malware Research Director Methodology The NoName057(16) hacker group, desperate to continue DDoSing governments and businesses supporting Ukraine, started paying people to download their program and DDoS for them after their Bobik botnet C2 server was taken down (coincidentally after we published a blog post about them). The LockBit group was very active this quarter, beginning a bug bounty program and even offering $1,000 to anyone tattooing their logo onto their body. In addition to the malware activity we observed, this report also describes how cybergangs are actively recruiting and paying people to support their criminal activities.

Furthermore, adware on Windows significantly grew in Central, South, and Eastern Europe, and mobile adware is still the top threat targeting Android users. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same about the Warzone RAT, which significantly boosted its presence in various countries such as Hungary and New Zealand. We’ve also seen a new botnet called Pitraix, which is, fortunately, not prevalent, at least for now.
Coniminers are still one of the top malware types, and 70% of their attacks are deployed using web coinminers on infected pages. Malware authors are instead abusing ISO and IMG formats on Windows. The other stealers, Formbook and AgentTesla, reminded us that Office macros are mostly dead, for now.

Raccoon Stealer’s activity is like a rollercoaster ride, and it went rampant this quarter, spreading via cracked software. It will be interesting to see how this trend will continue in the next quarter.ĭespite fewer attacks in Q3/2022, this report still contains many highlights. The war in Ukraine and the recent mobilization of forces in Russia likely also played a part in the decline. The drop in attacks is also caused by users spending more time offline, reducing the attack surface. The common belief in the security industry is that malware authors take off over the summer, causing a decline in malicious activity. We observed a decline in a vast majority of malware types in Q3/2022, which is positive. Threat reports are often scary and intimidating, as they describe malware outbreaks and dramatic increases in attacks of various threat types. I’m not sure about you, but Q3 passed very quickly for me, probably thanks to the summer holidays here in Europe. Three months have passed since we published the Avast Q2/2022 Threat Report and here we are again reviewing the cyber threat landscape via the Avast telemetry and Avast’s experts’ insights.
