Aggressive Inventory Zombies (AIZ) is a threat actor known for phishing and ransomware operations using spoofed retail e-commerce sites.
Analyst brief
Aggressive Inventory Zombies (AIZ) is a threat actor operating a large-scale phishing and pig-butchering network that targets retail brands and cryptocurrency users. They deploy fraudulent websites using templates that scrape product details from legitimate e-commerce platforms and integrate chat services for phishing, with identified financial ties to India. AIZ is linked to Entropy ransomware infections, which are preceded by Cobalt Strike beacons and Dridex malware deployments. Defenders should monitor for convincingly spoofed e-commerce sites with suspicious chat features and focus on detecting Cobalt Strike network communications and Dridex delivery chains to interrupt pre-ransomware staging.
