Earth Berberoka, who is this group?

Its been over a week since we’ve blogged, and there’s quite a bit read. Let’s strt with the article that sparked this week’s podcast which was quite interesting once people showed up.

I’ll have the blog post on the podcast later, but let’s first talk about Trend Micro’s article on this group.

The article is titled New APT Group Earth Berberoka Targets Gambling Websites With Old and New Malware and let me say that this was very well written.

As the podcast moved in to this topic starting in the second hour, I was notating some of this article as discussion points. While the article talks about the fact that Gambling sites are the only ones targeted right now, we shouldn’t be relaxed in this group. We should be aware of the fact that we do have a huge threat here.

One of the biggest threats that this malware can carry is one that can destroy the master boot record, making the computer worthless.

I’m not going to go through every piece of information here, but you can read the article which will answer the question on who these guys are.

There are five different things that are recommended, all of which are good tips. Don’t be fooled when I ask the audience in Clubhouse whether they are good pieces of information. I wanted to see what they would say.

Have you read the article? What did you think? Please sound off in the comments.

The podcast will be posted later.
