FIN7 Deploys Anubis Backdoor to Hijack Windows Systems via Compromised SharePoint Sites - #FIN7
The Russian APT group FIN7, active since 2013, has evolved from targeting financial sectors to deploying sophisticated ransomware and malware campaigns globally. Their tactics include spear-phishing, supply chain compromises, and exploiting Microsoft 365 services. FIN7 has developed advanced tools like AvNeutralizer to disable EDR software and the AnubisBackdoor for remote system control. The group has also employed social engineering techniques, creating fake AI-powered nude image generators to distribute malware. Recent campaigns involve exploiting Microsoft Teams' default settings for initial access. Security researchers emphasize the importance of continuous threat hunting, integrating known indicators of compromise, and enhancing employee awareness to defend against FIN7's evolving threats.
