At the Breachforums hacker forum, a user going by the name “Yunguns” has advertised the sale of the Mycrypter tool. This program is specifically designed to bypass protective measures such as Windows Defender, SmartScreen, antivirus software, and browser safety warnings.
The announcement highlights that the Mycrypter tool is a private FUD-CRIPOR (Fully undetectable) cryptor that supports signed executable files using EV-certificates. It offers customizable generation parameters and maintains its functionality for 4-5 months from the date of creation.
Interested buyers can purchase the service at varying prices: a one-time assembly costs $650, a 3-month subscription for access to the cryptor constructor is priced at $550, and lifelong access with updates is available for $1,000. Additionally, the service offers manual signature for specific tasks as well.
The announcement of the sale can be found on the forum darkwebinformer.
The potential sale of such a tool raises concerns for both companies and individual users. The utilization of advanced cryptors like Mycrypter could lead to an increase in malicious software attacks, including phishing and the distribution of malware. This poses a significant challenge to cybersecurity efforts as it undermines the efficacy of traditional protective measures.
Organizations are advised to enhance their security measures by implementing EDR solutions, monitoring network activity, and regularly updating their systems. Providing training for employees to recognize and mitigate phishing attacks is also essential. For cybersecurity solution developers, the priority lies in developing new algorithms to detect complex threats like Mycrypter and collaborating with industry partners to devise effective methods to combat such tools.
