WatchGuard documents Grandoreiro's Delphi-DLL-side-loading + WebSocket/STUN C2 against Portuguese & Spanish banks; ESET maps parallel Android BTMOB MaaS

From CTI Daily Brief — 2026-05-29 · published 2026-05-29 · view item permalink →

WatchGuard's Secplicity team published telemetry on 2026-05-26 covering a sustained 2026 Grandoreiro banking-trojan campaign against banks in Portugal and Spain (and across Latin America). The campaign deploys Delphi-11-compiled DLLs through DLL side-loading against four abused legitimate signed binaries; the Grandoreiro core has been re-tooled to use the sgcWebSockets library for command-and-control, with STUN and ICE protocols enabling NAT traversal — C2 traffic visually blends with web-conferencing data and bypasses standard protocol-inspection rules. WatchGuard names Abanca, Banco de Portugal, BBVA PT, Caixa Geral Depositos, Santander, Revolut and Wise as targeted institutions. A parallel Latin American mobile-banking strand: ESET WeLiveSecurity documents BTMOB, an Android RAT (evolved from SpySolr) sold malware-as-a-service, documented by ESET as targeting users in Brazil and Argentina. BTMOB requests Accessibility Service permissions and uses them for full device takeover — HTML-injected overlay phishing, keylogging and on-demand screen recording. The Hacker News provides a combined writeup with the WatchGuard / ESET coverage.
