Attacks by Silence
A comprehensive technical analysis of Silence’s tools, tactics, and evolution. This is the first time Group−IB’s reports of this kind have been made publicly available.
Background
In September 2018, Group-IB released Silence: Moving into the darkside, the first comprehensive technical report on the group’s attacks. The analysis remains the most complete source of technical information about the infrastructure and tools the cybercriminals used between June 2016 and April 2018.
Since that time, however, the geography of the group’s attacks, some of their tools, and other important elements characteristic of Silence have changed. Group-IB experts continuously monitor the cybercriminals’ activities and in August 2019 published Silence 2.0: Going global, an additional report about the threat actor’s evolution, tactical changes, and new targets.
