Data theft as a service lets hackers rob your data for hardly $10

Data theft, Unique and inexpensive services are being discovered and gaining a bit of success that feeds hackers with a hassle-free way to establish a foundation to manage and carry out cybercrime.

As noted by Bleeping Computer, security researchers have discovered a program named Dark Utilities, which effectively provides a command and control center (C2).

The service helps payloads for Windows, Linux, and Python. It also prevents hackers from starting and establishing the C2 communication channel. For reference, the C2 server is the primary hub for dealing with the sharing of malware.

It also permits threat actors to manage new commands, configurations/payloads, and crucially extract data from already attacked systems.

The dark utility platform acts as a C2-as-a-service (C2aaS). It is allowed as an unknown C2 framework, with costs starting at 9.99 euros or just over $10.

It is forming to attain momentum among underground hacking services, with Cisco Talos confirming that it has 3,000 active subscribers. Suddenly, the head of the operation had an income of about 30,000 euros. The existence of Word of Dark Utilities originated in the early stages of 2022.

It provides a full-fledged C2 system suitable for the well-known Tor network and regular browsers. The payload resides in the IPFS Interplanetary File System, which argues a decentralized network that stores and shares data.

Once the threat agent operating system researchers, Cisco Talos, confirmed that. It generates a sequence of commands that threats typically embed in a PowerShell or Bash script to create a command

recovery event and execute the payload on the victim machine.

The report also adds how the Dark utility admin panel offers numerous options for attacks ranging from standard distributed denial of service (DDoS) operations and cryptojacking operations.

Bleeping Computer points out that given the vogue it has gained in just a few months, coupled with its attractive price tag.

Dark Utilities is poised to become an even more in-demand platform, mainly for hackers who do not have much experience in cybercrime activities. To say the minor, the amount of hacking-related activity throughout 2022 is phenomenal.

With hackers constantly changing their methods and speeding when scanning for possible vulnerabilities, it is no surprise that cyberattacks have almost doubled since last year.
