OTX Bot<p>COLDRIVER Using New Malware To Steal Documents From Western Targets and NGOs</p><p>Russian government-backed threat group COLDRIVER has developed a new malware called LOSTKEYS, capable of stealing files and system information. The group targets high-profile individuals, NGOs, and former intelligence officers through credential phishing and malware delivery. LOSTKEYS is delivered through a multi-step infection chain, starting with a fake CAPTCHA and involving PowerShell commands. The malware evades detection in VMs and uses a substitution cipher for decoding. COLDRIVER's primary goal is intelligence collection for Russia's strategic interests, targeting Western governments, militaries, journalists, and Ukraine-related individuals. The group has been linked to hack-and-leak campaigns in the UK and against NGOs.</p><p>Pulse ID: 681ba0e01c36344c7ac60892<br>Pulse Link: <a href="https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/681ba0e01c36344c7ac60892" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">otx.alienvault.com/pulse/681ba</span><span class="invisible">0e01c36344c7ac60892</span></a> <br>Pulse Author: AlienVault<br>Created: 2025-05-07 18:05:20</p><p>Be advised, this data is unverified and should be considered preliminary.
