FREE WHITE PAPER | RSA Discovers Massive Boleto Fraud Ring in Brazil

Boleto malware is a fraud operation and financial threat targeting individuals and companies in Brazil that has appeared in recent years. The first signs of its existence appeared near the end of 2012 or early 2013, when it began to be reported in the local news media. The RSA Research Group analyzed version 17 of the malware, gathering data between March 2014 and June 2014.

The main goal of Boleto malware is to infiltrate legitimate Boleto payments from individual consumers or companies and redirect those payments from victims to fraudster accounts. Conventional crime represents 5% of losses incurred by Brazilian banks, but cybercrime dominates the financial losses, and this form of fraud has become one of the greatest threats to banks in the region.

Although not directly related to the Boleto payment systems, the malware also collects user credentials from Microsoft online email services such as live.com, hotmail.com and outlook.com. It appears that these stolen credentials are being used to support infection campaigns by spreading spam email.

The Boleto malware has been evolving with each version of the application, including improvements such as new targets, new features, and self-protection mechanisms.
