tracking the activities of the <a href="https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/tmr/?/us/security/news/cybercrime-and-digital-threats/icedid-banking-trojan-targets-us-financial-institutions">IcedID botnet</a>, we have discovered some significant changes in its distribution methods. Since December 2022, we observed the abuse of Google pay per click (PPC) ads to distribute IcedID via <a href="https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/tmr/?/us/security/news/cybercrime-and-digital-threats/malvertising-when-online-ads-attack">malvertising</a> attacks. This IcedID variant is detected by Trend Micro as TrojanSpy.Win64.ICEDID.SMYXCLGZ.</p> <p>Advertising platforms like <a href="https://ads.google.com/intl/en_us/home/?pli=1#!/">Google Ads</a> enable businesses to display advertisements to target audiences for the purpose of boosting traffic and increasing sales. Malware distributors abuse the same functionality in a technique known as malvertising, wherein chosen keywords are hijacked to display malicious ads that lure unsuspecting search engine users to downloading malware.</p> <p>In our investigation, malicious actors used malvertising to distribute the IcedID malware via cloned webpages of legitimate organizations and well-known applications. Recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221">published a warning</a> pertaining to how cybercriminals abuse search engine advertisement services to imitate legitimate brands and direct users to malicious sites for financial gain.</p> <p>Our blog entry provides the technical details of IcedID botnet’s new distribution method and the new loader it uses.</p> <p><span class="main-subtitle-black">Technical analysis</span></p> <p>Organic search results are those generated by the <a href="https://www.semrush.com/blog/pagerank/">Google PageRank algorithm</a>, whereas <a href="https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1704373?hl=en#:~:text=They%20can%20appear%20beside%2C%20above,websites%20of%20Google%20search%20partners.">Google Ads appear</a> in more prominent locations above, beside, below, or with the organic search results.

IcedID enables attackers to perform highly impactful follow through attacks that lead to total system compromise, such as data theft and crippling ransomware. The use of malvertising and an evasive loader is a reminder of why it’s important for businesses to deploy layered security solutions that include custom sandboxing, predictive machine learning, behavior monitoring and file and web reputation detection capabilities. Users can also consider the use of ad blockers to help thwart malveritising attacks.</p> <p><span class="main-subtitle-black">Indicators Of Compromise (IOCs) </span></p> <p>The indicators of
