Creator of the BokBok/IcedID banking trojan, known for financial theft via Emotet distribution.
Analyst brief
LUNAR SPIDER (GOLD SWATHMORE) is the creator of the BokBok/IcedID banking trojan. It primarily targets financial institutions but may purchase distribution through Emotet infections. Their key TTP involves using a proxy module to collaborate with WIZARD SPIDER’s TrickBot, providing tools for stealing sensitive information and conducting fraudulent wire transfers. Defenders should focus on blocking Emotet-delivered IcedID payloads, monitoring for internal lateral movement tools like TrickBot combined with IcedID, and scrutinizing anomalous wire transfer activities.

This activity also provides further evidence to support the existence of a flourishing relationship between these two actors.
