Brazilian Authorities Arrest Members of Banking Trojan Cybercrime Group

Interpol assisted in the operation, in which analysts identified Grandoreiro group members by analyzing and matching malware samples.

With the help of
Interpols
cybercrime unit, Brazilian authorities recently made headway in combatting the infamous Grandoreiro banking Trojan operation with the arrest of five suspects allegedly associated with the group.
The Grandoreri malware first introduces itself through
phishing emails
disguised as reputable organizations. After gaining access, the malware tracks the users activity through keyboard inputs and collects data off of the device, such as usernames, operating system information, and bank identifiers,
according to Interpol, which did not release the suspects names.
Interpol, along with Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Group-IB, and Scitum, analyzed the groups malware samples collected by authorities in Brazil and Spain.
This operational success vividly underscores the importance of sharing intelligence through Interpol, and why we are committed to acting as a bridge between public and private sectors, Craig Jones, director of Interpols cybercrime unit, explained in Interpols press release. It also sets the stage for further cooperation in the region.
With Interpols assistance in assessing the data, law enforcement was able to identify matches between malware samples, which led them to the cybercriminals. Authorities conducted house searches in five different states and arrested five of the groups administrators, who were working as programmers and operators.
