Talos Takes Ep: #65: How several RAT campaigns in Latin America are connected
Summary: Talos Takes episode #65 covers a team's investigation, including Asheer Malhotra, into a series of campaigns targeting users in Latin America with social engineering lures built around travel, such as fake travel itineraries, flight coupons, and hotel reservation confirmations. The episode discusses the throughline between these attacks and their potential connections to the Aggah crimeware group, alongside retrospective interviews marking 10 years of Talos.
Bottom line: The lures here are ordinary travel documents arriving as people resume travel, and the campaigns are tied to a known crimeware group, Aggah, which means the same social engineering playbook can be repointed at your employees wherever they are booking trips.
