Operation Duck Hunt: FBI Takes 700,000 Bots Offline
Published by Ethan on Sat, Oct 14, 2023 | Tagged Closure, FBI, Hacking | 96 Comments

Operation Duck Hunt: The FBI and law enforcement authorities from France, Germany, Latvia, The Netherlands, Romania, United Kingdom shut down the Qakbot botnet, also known as Qbot or Pinkslipbot. They also seized close to $9 million in crypto from the botnet's operators. The botnet served as an infrastructure for cybercriminals to spread ransomware, financial fraud and other criminal activities. No arrests took place.

According to the FBI statement, the law enforcement agencies gained access to the Qakbot infrastructure and identified more than 700,000 infected computers. To take down the botnet, the FBI's IT specialists redirected Qakbot traffic to their servers, they then told the bots to uninstall themselves.

The Qakbot malware infected computers mostly with the help of spam emails. To get infected the recipient had to open the malicious attachment or click a link. Then, Qakbot loaded more malware, including ransomware, onto the computer.

How Qakbot works

Most prolific ransomware groups including Conti, ProLock, Egregor, REvil, MegaCortex, and Black Basta, have used Qakbot to gain initial access to their victims' networks.

The FBI states that unknown persons have been using Qakbot in ransomware attacks and other criminal actions since 2008. This caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to individuals and businesses in the U.S. and around the world. The investigators established that between October 2021 and April 2023, Qakbot administrators received fees believed to have originated from approximately $58 million in ransom payments.

The DOJ said it also recovered more than 6.5 million stolen passwords and other credentials, and that it has shared this information with two websites that let users check to see if their credentials were exposed: Have I Been Pwned, and Check Your Hack website operated by the Dutch National Police.

by /u/WinstonWolf • 2 weeks ago in /d/CafeDread

Greetings folks. I have been dealing with some stuff, and kept it quiet so far for reasons you can imagine...but I seem to have been ripped off by HugBunter?!?

HugBunter messaged me over a month ago offering "limited spots for private vendor sites". He said he was reaching out to me for one of the coveted spots because I had a good long history here.

I was rather flattered, and I have been trying to get my own store up and running for some time. Hugbunter asked that I keep his name from my announcements, and instead /d/ghost would be my point of contact. He wanted $10k to get the site up and running.

If this had been anyone but the legendary HugBunter, I would have ignored the message likely. Still, I asked that he send me a PGP signed message to confirm his identity, which he did and I confirmed the message. So I sent $2k to reserve my place, and intended to pay the rest within a week. He said that I would recieve a couple thousand dollars in Dread ads also, if I paid.

Since then, he has gone dark and not responded to messages. I have been polite of course, but I am concerned. It has been about 5 weeks of nothing.

Of course, this doesn't make any sense. Why would /u/hugbunter bother scamming me for a couple thousand dollars? He has proved himself reliable, to say the least, and I really am scratching my head here.

So I don't know what is going on. Certainly, accusing the admin of Dread of fleecing me is a huge deal....and I am not necessarily ready to grab a pitchfork yet. Perhaps he will surface and give me my onion as agreed. Or maybe somehow his PGP and Dread account have been compromised.

None of this seems likely, and again, it makes no sense. But after this long, I need to at least put word out there and see if anyone has any insight as to what could be going on?

Cheers

WW

He did the same with me. I actually believed everything he said until now. Hopefully he is just busy. Asked for 10k. The most strange thing is why would one of the top mods on dread ask to be paid in btc? He may have made/make a easy mill if 100 vendors do/did it. Especially with btc jumping 20% within the last month or so.

I have a sexual relationship with my cat. It's consensual from the both sides. We love each other deeply. She taught me cat kisses, biting me gently to my chin. I showed her French kisses, she enjoys it a lot. She massages me with her paws and lick my nipples, until I reach orgasm. I return in return, I can bring her to orgasm with my fingers. Then we just cuddle for hours.
