Joker’s Stash Darknet Marketplace Improves Technology and Updates ServicesThe Joker’s Stash now provides Pii and Ssn entries and a powerful search tool to narrow down results. The marketplace calls less sophisticated actors to reach their clearnet domains while keeping the nastier stuff locked in a smaller set. Renowned marketplace operators want to secure their spot on the darknet market. According to a study by “Insikt Group” researchers stolen credit card data as the researchers found entries that involve personal identifiable information (Pii) and numbers of social security (Ssns). Furthermore the operators are expanding the network infrastructure moving away from Tor and focusing instead on dedicated domains and servers. The Joker’s Stash is already the “go-to spot” for malicious actors who need to sell something. That said, it looks like its operators want it not to be afraid of the Fbi or other prosecuting agencies to remain on top. This is moving in the opposite direction of the general trend in the sector as we have seen some highly popular darknet marketplaces reaching their recent end either of voluntarily organized global police operations. The Joker’s Stash seems to be standing in an entirely different place preparing its infrastructure for a long and prosperous future for itself and its community.CamScanner Claims to Have Fallen Victim to Malicious Network
ByBill Toulas-September 17, 2019.787 CamScanner developers admit that a malicious ad network provider has been fooled into doing so. The rogue Sdk impacted versions between 5.11.7 and 5.12.0 and you are advised to upgrade when using these. As we saw back in August, Kaspersky caught a famous photograph of the Pdf converter app called “CamScanner” which spreads malware to its users. The malware distribution campaign impacted a significant number of devices as the software had more than 100 million active users and so Google removed it from the Play Store. As Kaspersky researchers pointed out the deployed module looked similar to one previously found in Chinese smartphones. This suggests it could be the product of a misunderstanding between the app developer and a malicious advertiser in a new partnership. As developer Intsig now clarifies the campaign for malware delivery that took place between June and July this year was indeed the result of falling victim to a rogue Sdk advertisement. Hub presented the specific Sdk with whom Intsig cut ties shortly after they learned what had happened. CamScanner 5.11.7 was the first version to get infected with the malware and 5.12.0 was the last. If you are still running one of these versions and anything in between, it’s best to immediately remove the program and run an Av search on your mobile device. The malware used to infect CamScanner users ‘ devices was focused solely on click fraud activities so people shouldn’t worry about personal data leaks or any sort of exfiltration of information. If you still have the software and malware, otherwise you devote resources and internet data to making money for the actors and that’s it. Because this has been so detrimental to the credibility of CamScanner, Intsig has brought a complaint against the ad network that inserted malware into their device, hoping to receive some form of compensation for what has happened. Right now you can download a clean version of CamScanner directly from Apk Mirror and it looks like it’s also back in the Play Store. The user reviews there are predictably poor, not because the software remains malware-ridden but because the carelessness of Intsig has frustrated users. This is particularly true of those who paid for a premium version of the app.ByBill Toulas-September 17, 2019.787 CamScanner developers admit that a malicious ad network provider has been fooled into doing so.
