Cybercrime gang FIN7 has rebounded after the jailing of some key members. Using a lure relating to a lawsuit against the owner of Jack Daniels whiskey, the cybergang launched a campaign that may be bent on ransomware deployment. FIN7 usually carries out targeted attacks on point-of-sale systems at restaurants, casinos and hotels; or, it infiltrates systems to steal bank-card data and sell it. The ultimate purpose of installing the backdoor is unclear; FIN7’s infrastructure appears to be robust.
