#ESETResearch’s monitoring of #AceCryptor revealed a significant decrease in prevalence of the malware in H2 2024: we only observed around 3k unique samples as opposed to 13k in H1 2024. Overall hits went down by 68% compared to H1, and by 87% compared to H2 2023.
Similarly, the number of unique users targeted by AceCryptor campaigns decreased by 58% between H1 and H2 2024, and the decrease was even more pronounced when compared to H2 2023, amounting to 85%.
As for the malware families packed by the cryptor, we could yet again see the usual suspects such as #Rescoms, #Smokeloader, and #Stealc among the most delivered threats.
While much smaller in scale than in previous periods, we still detected two notable campaigns of the malware. First, on July 11, 2024, 500 victims in Germany 
were sent emails with malicious attachments disguised as financial documents inside a password protected archive.
Instead of the documents, the archive contained an AceCryptor executable packing the Racoon Stealer successor #RecordBreaker, which then exfiltrated the victim information to a C&C server with the IP address of 45[.]153[.]231[.]163.
Then on September 23, 2024 more than 1,600 endpoints of small businesses in Czechia 
received emails whose attachments contained an AceCryptor binary packing the #XWorm RAT 
. As a C&C, XWorm RAT used easynation[.]duckdns[.]org.

Good morning tooters!
I convinced my partner that today would be a great day to pick the first of her Black Russians. It's not very pretty, but what it lacks in appearance, it more than makes up in mass.
