Hack Read – Habiba Rashid
NetWire malware has been utilized by various cybercrime groups, but its most notable use occurred in February 2022 when the ModifiedElephant APT group used the malware to plant incriminating evidence on victimsâ devices. In a joint operation between the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), and other international law enforcement agencies, the internet domain used to sell NetWire malware has been seized.

NetWire is a powerful tool used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to computer systems and control them remotely. Itâs worth noting that NetWire was used extensively in several cyberattacks, including those targeting the aviation and defence sectors in February 2022, thousands of global oil and gas and energy firms in August 2017, and attacks on the aerospace and travel sectors in May 2021.
