CarnavalHeist

Description

(Talos) Talos assesses with high confidence that the CarnavalHeist malware is of Brazilian origin and primarily targets Brazilian users based on our observations of the Portuguese language being used throughout all aspects of the infection chain and the malware itself, including the use of Brazilian slang to describe some bank names, and a notable lack of other language variants thus far. The command and control (C2) infrastructure exclusively uses the BrazilSouth availability zone on Microsoft Azure to control infected machines, and they specifically target prominent Brazilian financial institutions.
