  • VB2016 paper: Steam stealers: it’s all fun and games until someone’s account gets hijacked

    The online games market is huge, and the Steam platform is a huge player in that market. Users registered on the Steam platform use their credit cards to buy content, and willingly provide personal information to and exchange items with other network participants. Rather unsurprisingly, this has not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals, and a while…

  • Review: BSides London 2017

    This month, for the first time in its 28-year history, Virus Bulletin became the sponsor of another industry conference: BSides London . I have to admit to having been more than a little proud to see the VB logo displayed on the screens in between sessions. Of course, I was also happy to see lots…

  • VB2017: one of the most international security conferences

    The 40 talks confirmed thus far for the VB2017 conference programme will be delivered by speakers that are based in 18 different countries across five continents. If you also consider the nationalities of the speakers, that increases the number of countries represented by at least half a dozen. The VB conference has traditionally been held…

  • VB2016 paper: Diving into Pinkslipbot’s latest campaign

    Pinkslipbot, also known as Qakbot or Qbot, is a banking trojan that makes the news every once in a while, yet never seems to get the attention of the world’s Zbots and Dridexes. I looked at the malware myself three years ago , but since then it has been updated several times, the most recent…

  • Virus Bulletin to sponsor BSides London

    When VB’91 , the inaugural Virus Bulletin conference, took place (in 1991), there were few security conferences on the scene and there were more virus researchers than computer viruses. These days, there are more security conferences than there were people attending that very first VB conference! We think this is a great development and we…

  • VB2016 paper: Uncovering the secrets of malvertising

    In his VB2014 paper , Bromium researcher Vadim Kotov sketched the possibilities for malicious actors to use web ads to spread exploit kits. Unsurprisingly, malicious actors also spotted those possibilities, and the advertisement ecosystem has become such a big attack surface that many security experts advise the running of ad-blockers to enhance security. Today, we…
