"Many of LAPSUS$’s recruitment ads are written in both English and Portuguese. According to cyber intelligence firm Flashpoint, the bulk of the group’s victims (15 of them) have been in Latin America and Portugal."
Are they victims or co-conspirators? These people were paid to provide access.
- tyingq 5y agoI imagine they meant the corporate victims. That is two separate pieces of evidence that they have some tie to Brazil: the recruits, and the selected corporate victims.
- spyremeown 5y agoAbout the language part: I'm a native speaker of Portuguese. Their posts on Reddit[1], requesting paid insiders on some mobile networks, are very clearly machine translated. When they started out, hacking the Ministry of Health here in Brazil, the defacing text had a wrong plural, and was written in a way that a native speaker never would. https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#{%22author%22:%22oklaqq%22,%22searchFor%22:1,%22resultSize%22:100} https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/#{%22author%22:%22okla...
- rbanffy 5y agoIf I wanted to be hard to detect, I'd run my messages through a couple machine translators so any metrics you may want to collect would be distorted enough it wouldn't be easy to tie them to your own messaging. And that target is what made me first think of one or more government agents infiltrating and financing the group.
