Slim Spider Steals Crypto Custody Secrets From Brazilian Financial Institution
CrowdStrike links previously unseen Slim Spider group to crypto custody secret theft at Brazilian financial institutions since March 2026.
CrowdStrike is tracking Slim Spider, a previously undocumented financially motivated group attacking Brazilian financial institutions since at least March 2026. The actor used custom Bash scripts to steal temporary cloud credentials, exfiltrated digital asset custody secrets, and used Foundry's cast tool to derive Ethereum wallet addresses, while deploying Go-based backdoor MikeDor and an implant impersonating Brazil's SPI instant payment infrastructure. Slim Spider also pivoted to Azure DevOps and Kubernetes clusters and used panels including NEXUS // Scanner, Painel de Emails Entra ID, and Painel Pix for reconnaissance and unauthorized Pix transfers. Separately, Google Threat Intelligence Group and Mandiant disclosed Breeze Comet (CL-CRI-1163), a Portuguese-speaking group since 2024 that breaches Brazilian payment infrastructure to run fraudulent Pix, Boleto, and STR transactions.

412,000 The Town 2025 Ticket Buyers’ Data Hits the Dark Web
A forum seller is offering 412,192 The Town 2025 ticket buyer records, mostly Brazilian with CPF numbers, marketed for bank fraud, loans and SIM registration.
A seller on a Russian-language forum listed a database of 412,192 Latin American ticket purchase records from The Town 2025 festival in Sao Paulo for $10,000, with 251,557 Brazilian records (61% of the total). Data includes names, emails, CPF numbers, phones, neighborhoods, ticket types and payment details, and the seller explicitly markets CPFs for Brazilian bank fraud, loans and SIM registration. Ransomnews validated the sample as genuine ticket-buyer data, but identical October 1, 2025 processing timestamps suggest a single post-event batch export rather than a direct Ticketmaster breach.

Gaming the system: how a Chinese-speaking actor turned Brazilian government sites into an SEO weapon
Check Point identifies Chinese-speaking group Gambling Goblin hijacking Brazilian government domains via malicious Apache modules for SEO-manipulated gambling phishing.
Check Point Research tracks a sustained campaign since mid-2025 against Brazilian government and educational organizations by Gambling Goblin, a Chinese-speaking cybercrime cluster linked to Earth Berberoka. Attackers compile and install malicious Apache modules that silently reverse-proxy visitors to phishing pages impersonating Google Play, Microsoft Store, and Amazon, chaining compromised high-reputation domains to inflate search rankings. The group deploys a heavily obfuscated Linux toolkit including DownPro, AlphaAgent, oRAT, a 3snake-based credential stealer, and SSH brute-forcers, with parallel phishing networks localized for Vietnamese, Spanish, and English victims.
