    I have to admit, this @virustotal find is going to be hard for me to top. This CARBANAK work was in active development when whoopsed to VT πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ from RU πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί on 2017-04-19. kb3r1p.rar 879 files (15.03 MB) virustotal.com/#/file/783b2ee… apwmie.rar 24 files (5.93 MB) virustotal.com/#/file/4116ec1…

    For those without @virustotal, how about @virusbay_io sharing? Now you can play alongside the blog with #CarbanakWeek: Home Malware Edition kb3r1p.rar 06efd1354b7418198c66a78ff3e68e59 beta.virusbay.io/sample/browse/… apwmie.rar 2549f116adbbfeeecf7596e6381bb43c beta.virusbay.io/sample/browse/…

    Kudos to anyone else who found the source code! We sat on it for ~2 years [pictured] 🀐 - that seemed like enough. @FireEye got a LOT out of this access/analysis, like that time #FLARE modified #CARBANAK's video player to support FIN7’s custom encoding: fireeye.com/blog/threat-re…

    Did @FireEye use knowledge of the source code to patch #CARBANAK's video player and possibly even catch #FIN7's front company Combi Security monitoring unwitting "red teamer" employees? MAYBE?? πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Read part 4️⃣ (the conclusion) of #CARBANAKweek πŸ’³πŸ¦ˆ: fireeye.com/blog/threat-re…

    Tom & Michael are going to release the technical details throughout this #Carbanak week, but if you want a preview of what they found, @cglyer and I hung out with them on #StateOfTheHack a few months ago youtu.be/gDZb4Hr8w_I

    I'm proposing we extend this week's blog series into the #Carbanak Weekend. The Internet deserves a deeper exploration of Carbanak GUI design choices. fireeye.com/blog/threat-re…

    Have you seen any specific part of the code for capturing PIN code from smart-card readers/drivers?
