3 CVEs Mallory has correlated with this family across public research and vendor advisories. Each row links to the full Mallory page for that vulnerability.
On September 13, 2016 Microsoft released a security bulletin fixing the CVE-2016-3351 vulnerability, which included a patch for Internet Explorer and Edge browsers. Researchers found exploitation dating back to January 2014, including a malvertising chain leading to Angler EK and dropping Reveton.
Conclusion : xxx is what we call Angler EK and Angler EK (indexm instance) is not that young! | This indexm.html variant of Angler EK is most probably still being used in RU/UA and was one of the early adopter of CVE-2015-0311 (a flash 0day from January) before many "standard" instances of Angler.
Conclusion : xxx is what we call Angler EK and Angler EK (indexm instance) is not that young! | 2015-01-27 - Angler EK "indexm" exploiting CVE-2015-2551 and firing Java exploits [Payload here is most probably Lurk]

Exploit kit used in the pseudo-Darkleech campaign to deliver Bedep and subsequently CryptXXX.
An exploit kit that delivered Reveton in a January 2014 malvertising chain. The chain used CVE-2016-3351 for filtering potential victims; the content does not establish that Angler EK itself exploited this vulnerability. Researchers believe this historical activity was associated with AdGholas.
Exploit kit closely associated with Bedep and used in the infection chain described in the content.
An exploit kit discussed as having early fileless capabilities, multiple documented instances including an 'indexm' variant, and use of browser and Flash/Java exploits to deliver payloads.
