Operation Repo Ruse
BlueVoyant Security Operations Center (SOC) and Threat Fusion Cell (TFC) researchers identified an active campaign by the prolific threat actor Rift Brigantine (a.k.a. TA505, FIN11, and Graceful Spider). In this iteration, the actor is leveraging fraudulent GitHub repositories to distribute malicious batch script installers masquerading as legitimate IT and security software, including Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) and Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect.
