Malicious Automation

A common question we receive is, “How do the criminals get these sites up and then change them so quickly?”.

It’s no surprise that the people involved are making tons of money and the jobs they perform are likely to be considered a full time job for them.  They are real people and just like us they look to eliminate or ease redundancies as much as possible.

The way the criminals address the problem is automation. Anything can be automated.  Domain creation, permissions, template generation, file generation, and uploading can be accomplished via constructed automation tools.

PandaLabs recent discovery of a Fake YouTube page generator is a perfect example of the automation employed by criminals.

YouTube Fake Page Creator

The above tool is used for generating fake YouTube templates with the idea of infecting users that view the site.  Through the use of this tool we may change the link of malicious software, title for fake error bar, amount of seconds the bar is displayed, title of video, name of video, video description, user name, date added, comments, and even append code to the template.  You can see the full post on this tool at the PandaLabs site.
