FIN7, also known as Carbanak Group and the Cobalt Group, is a well-known, financially motivated group that’s been operating since at least 2015. It is believed to be responsible for attacks on at least 100 US-based companies, most of them in the hospitality, restaurant, and gaming industries. FIN7 has even created its own spearphishing toolkit and updated its JavaScript backdoor this week, Kaspersky Lab says. The FBI has described the group as successfully stealing some 15 million credit and debit card records from an estimated 6,500 individual point-of-sale systems in 47 US states.”]
