But now cyber security <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/us-en\/blogs\/blogs-snakemackerel-delivers-zekapab-malware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">researchers at Accenture<\/a> have seen the group that they refer to as SNAKEMACKEREL exploiting Brexit in a campaign designed to deliver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/what-is-malware-everything-you-need-to-know-about-viruses-trojans-and-malicious-software\/\">trojan malware<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s believed that the campaign has actively targeted government departments &#8212; particularly ministries of foreign affairs, political think-tanks, and defence organisations across Europe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The threat group is likely to be seeking access to insights on the latest political affairs, including confidential documents on national interests related to current news headlines such as Brexit,&#8221; Michael Yip, security principal at Accenture Security&#8217;s iDefense Threat Intelligence, told ZDNet.<\/p>\n<p>Targets are sent an email with an attachment named Brexit 15.11.2018.docx. If they open it, they&#8217;re met with jumbled-up text and a claim of an error relating to the document being created in an earlier version of Microsoft Word.<\/p>\n<p>Users are urged to &#8216;enable content&#8217; to see what the document claims to contain &#8212; but if they follow through with this request, it enables macros and allows malicious-macro-enabled content to retrieve and deliver malware.The malicious payload is Zeboracy, a trojan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/fancy-bear-apt-linked-to-earworm-cyberespionage-group\/\">that has previously been observed<\/a> being deployed as part of cyber espionage campaigns working out of Russia.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;The use of malware families such as Seduploader, Zekapab (Zebrocy), X-Agent and X-tunnel are all key hallmarks of attacks by SNAKEMACKEREL, and the use of news headline themes for document lures are trademarks of SNAKEMACKEREL&#8217;s modus operandi,&#8221; said Yip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/resource-library\/whitepapers\/10-ways-to-raise-your-users-cybersecurity-iq-free-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 ways to raise your users&#8217; cybersecurity IQ<\/a><\/strong> <strong>(free PDF)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Analysis of the of the malicious attachment also provides clues pointing towards the origin of the attacks: the document is said to be last modified by a user called &#8216;Joohn&#8217; &#8212; a name that has appeared in the file information of previous Fancy Bear campaigns. Researchers also note that the document was compiled by a company named Grizli777.<\/p>\n<p>The group has been particularly active since October and Accenture has &#8220;high confidence&#8221; that the campaign still remains highly active. Given how quickly the attackers react to current affairs, it&#8217;s likely only a matter of time before they use a new news event as a lure to conduct attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The speed in which fresh news headlines are used for document lures in attacks particularly highlights the group&#8217;s knowledge of foreign affairs and provides strong indications of their targeting remit,&#8221; said Yip.<\/p>\n<p>Fancy Bear has been linked to a number of high-profile cyber campaigns in recent years, including the cyber attacks and disinformation as a means of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/no-russian-interference-yet-in-us-midterm-elections-fireeye\/\">interference around the US Presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also thought to have conducted additional espionage campaigns against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/hackers-are-using-a-flash-flaw-in-fake-document-in-this-new-spying-campaign\/\">a number of
