\"\"<\/p>\n

The concept of antivirus (AV) scanning within IT security is simple and effective. These programs, which have become part and parcel of typical infrastructure and data protection strategies, scan enterprise networks for known malware signatures and other processes associated with suspicious hacker activity. If and when these signatures or processes are detected, the antivirus program sounds the alarm, enabling admins to work proactively to prevent intrusion and infection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, a court case centered around the malicious service, Scan4You, a so-called counter antivirus that works in the opposite sense of traditional antivirus. The service, which was available to malicious users from 2009 until its shutdown last year, quickly became a top counter AV platform, until its operators were arrested and charged in a Virginia federal court.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend Micro tracked the<\/span> rise and fall of Scan4You in its new report<\/span><\/a>, shining a light on counter AV and the increasingly sophisticated nature of cybercriminals.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does counter AV work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Outside of services like Scan4You and its competitors \u2013 which we\u2019ll examine deeper a bit later \u2013 there are other counter AV approaches and strategies that hackers already used to cover their tracks. These include file encryption to mask malicious attachments and files, either encrypted through the efforts of the hacker themselves or through an encryption tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Trend Micro noted, encryption tools are available and cost-effective;<\/span> $85 will buy a user a lifetime license<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith these, security software won\u2019t be able to uncover the malware before the victim receives it,\u201d Trend Micro researchers noted. \u201cFor instance, a simple keylogger known as HawkEye utilized this method to target small and medium-sized businesses worldwide.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Counter AV services like Scan4You, on the other hand, scan hackers\u2019 created malware against current antivirus solutions to determine if it can be detected, as well as which specific AV software systems recognize the code as malicious. In this way, attackers can be more assured, ahead of time, that their malware will spur a successful breach or attack before being pinpointed and blocked or the infection takes hold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, counter AV services don\u2019t stop at a simple scan and comparison against top AV security platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe service then runs a series of encryption routines to render the malware obscure, making virus analysis difficult for researchers, which includes avoiding firewalls and antivirus tools,\u201d Trend Micro explained. \u201cAfter this process, the malware is deemed to be undetectable and antivirus-resistant. This is also the reason why some malware can bypass the security measures users and enterprises have set.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rise of Scan4You<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ability to render an attackers\u2019 code unidentifiable to current security programs is quite the attractive feature for cybercriminals. In this way, it\u2019s no surprise why services like Scan4You were able to emerge in the underground web.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Trend Micro noted, these types of services may have started as tools only available to \u2013 and for use within \u2013 hacking groups, which then decided to open them up for paying customers. However they came to be, Scan4You quickly rose to become one of the most-used and best-known, offering customers 100,000 counter AV scans per month for $30, or single scans for just 15 cents.<\/span><\/p>\n

By accepting payment through PayPal and cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, combined with the promise from Scan4You operators that data would not be shared with any AV or cybersecurity company, hackers felt confident that they were getting a good deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Career cybercriminals: The operators behind Scan4You<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As Trend Micro reported, the individuals behind the operations for the counter AV service were identified as Ruslans Bondars, otherwise known as \u201cB0rland\u201d or \u201cBorland,\u201d and Jurijs Martisevs, or \u201cGarrik.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Both had been responsible for cybercriminal activities and advancing within career hacker circles since 2006. Their other illegal operations include the<\/span> sale of non-FDA-approved prescriptions through Eva Pharmacy<\/span><\/a>, the sale of stolen credit card data and the circulation of banking malware like SpyEye and ZeuS to support specific hacking campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend Micro uncovers the truth behind Scan4You\u2019s privacy claim<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite promising customers that details collected from counter AV scans would not be shared with security firms, Trend Micro researchers were able to follow a trail from the service\u2019s reputation checks on URLs, IP addresses and domains. Interestingly, through this pursuit, Trend Micro researchers were able to see data relating to Scan4You\u2019s reputation scans from several years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2012, we have collected a wealth of information on Scan4You\u2019s operations, and, in particular, information on the many reputation scans that they performed each day,\u201d the Trend Micro Forward-Looking Threat Research Team explained. \u201cA malware author would usually check the reputation of his landing pages or command and control (C&C) servers on Scan4You just before he starts a new campaign. We were able to observe these checks, and in many cases, we could preemptively block the new malicious domains before they could use them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Not the only game in town<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to Scan4You, other counter AV services have also been discovered, including VirusCheckMate, Scan4You\u2019s main competitor, and AVDetect. Despite putting protections in place similar to that of Scan4You, Trend Micro was also able to glean information into the reputation scans being carried out by these services as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fall of Scan4You: Operators brought to justice<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite their robust information security and malicious activity background and expertise, the operators of Scan4You were found and brought to a federal court in Virginia to answer for their illegal actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Trend Micro\u2019s report, researchers and law enforcement were able to identify Bondars and Martisevs through personal information associated with accounts used to set up Scan4You. Bondars included his real name and photo within a Gmail account connected with malicious command-and-control domains, and Martisevs used a phone number in connection with the service\u2019s WebMoney account.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a lengthy investigation \u2013 which included both Trend Micro and the FBI Washington office beginning in 2014 \u2013 Bondars and Martisevs were arrested in Latvia and extradited to the U.S. in 2017. According to Naked Security,<\/span> Bondars was charged<\/span><\/a> with one count of conspiracy to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of computer intrusion with the intent to cause damage. After a five-day trial, Bondars was convicted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Martisevs, on the other hand, was charged with one charge of conspiracy and one charge of aiding and abetting computer intrusion. He was able to<\/span> strike a plea deal<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The counter AV landscape following Scan4You<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Following Bondards and Martisevs\u2019 arrests in 2017, Scan4You was taken offline and stopped running scans. While researchers expected to see an increase in usage concerning its competitors \u2013 including mainly VirusCheckMate \u2013 no subsequent growth was identified after Scan4You was taken offline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers took this to mean that Scan4You\u2019s legal trappings sent a message to the underground counter AV industry \u2013 and that former Scan4You customers stopped using a service to prevent detection.<\/span><\/p>\n
