Evilnum, also styled EvilNum, is a financially motivated threat group identified in 2018 that targets financial technology companies, financial traders, and online gambling businesses and their customers. Its targeting includes financial organizations in the United Kingdom and European Union, with additional victims across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia. The DarkCasino campaign targeted casino operators and people involved in platform transactions to steal transaction credentials and other valuable information for illicit financial gain. Evilnum uses spearphishing and identity-verification lures, including customer identity documents and passport images. Delivery methods include links to cloud-hosted ZIP archives and malicious shortcuts or executables disguised as documents. Evilnum-associated DarkMe activity exploited CVE-2023-38831 in WinRAR against financial traders in July 2023. Its multistage infection chains employ signed installers, encrypted shellcode, image steganography, DLL side-loading, process injection, COM-based execution, and native Windows utilities. Defense-evasion techniques include obfuscated commands, dynamic API resolution, remapping system libraries to avoid monitoring hooks, and deletion of infection artifacts. Evilnum has also used PowerShell to bypass User Account Control. Its tooling includes DarkMe, a Visual Basic malware family supporting host reconnaissance, command execution, file manipulation, screenshots, registry-based persistence, and keylogging in some versions. Evilnum can collect email credentials and deploy additional components after compromise. Another identity-document-themed campaign deployed AgentVX_Loader, which profiled compromised systems, downloaded and executed additional payloads, and supported module management. Persistence mechanisms observed in Evilnum-attributed activity include registry modifications and Startup-folder installation.
