Cybercriminals Using New Malware Loader ‘Bumblebee’ in the Wild

Ravie Lakshmanan reports:

Cybercriminal actors previously observed delivering BazaLoader and IcedID as part of their malware campaigns are said to have transitioned to a new loader called Bumblebee that’s under active development.

“Based on the timing of its appearance in the threat landscape and use by multiple cybercriminal groups, it is likely Bumblebee is, if not a direct replacement for BazaLoader, then a new, multifunctional tool used by actors that historically favored other malware,” enterprise security firm Proofpoint said in a report shared with The Hacker News.
