Yikes! Only 19 and already slinging malware with the help of Russian bulletproof hosting? 😳 It really hammers home how low the barrier to entry has become these days...

Let's talk Bulletproof Hosting (BPH) for a sec: These are basically your "we don't give a damn *what* you host" providers. Unsurprisingly, they're a favorite among cybercriminals. Proton66 seems to be one of the bigger players in that shady neighborhood. And yeah, it's definitely a problem. 🙄

But here's the kicker – a total rookie mistake: This person left a directory wide open on their server. BOOM! Just like that, their whole infrastructure was exposed. A classic OPSEC fail! 😅 Look, everyone's gotta start somewhere, but maybe not *quite* like this.

The individual behind this, known as 'Coquettte,' is apparently pushing malware disguised as fake antivirus software. They're using the Rugmi loader to drop info stealers like Lumma, Vidar, and Raccoon. So, definitely keep an eye out for any sketchy ZIP files or installers doing the rounds! ☝️

Bottom line: Even beginners can cause real damage, especially with services like BPH readily available. And it just goes to show, nailing those OPSEC basics is absolutely crucial!

So, what's your take on BPH? Do you see it as a serious threat, or is it more of a minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things? 🤔 Let me know below!

Where to Find Aspiring Hackers

This analysis delves into Proton66, a bulletproof hosting network enabling cybercrime operations and serving as a hub for aspiring cybercriminals. It focuses on a threat actor known as 'Coquettte' and their ties to the Horrid hacking group, a loosely organized cybercriminal collective. The investigation reveals a fake cybersecurity website, cybersecureprotect[.]com, which exposed its malicious infrastructure due to an OPSEC failure. Coquettte's activities include distributing malware, keyloggers, and trojans through Proton66's infrastructure. The research also uncovers other projects operated by this actor, including a website hosting guides for illegal activities. The analysis provides technical details of Coquettte's malware infrastructure and explores Proton66's role as a breeding ground for amateur threat actors.
