Targets also include the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and several countries in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific. SOCRadar analysts found that SafePay intentionally avoids targeting organizations in Commonwealth of Independent States countries using a language detection feature.
The malware has checks that immediately stop it from running if the system uses Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Georgian, Kazakh, Russian, or Ukrainian languages, indicating that the operators want to evade legal action in these areas.
SafePay operators routinely disable Microsoft Defender and other security measures using administrative commands and Group Policy changes, including adding folder exclusions and turning off real-time protection.
The malware uses encrypted strings, dynamic loading, and advanced packing techniques to avoid detection. Click here to read the full report.
