Forgot to give a shout to @TheDFIRReport for this sick mug at @defcon. Thanks it will be filled with coffee as I pour through obfuscated JavaScript
Thank you @1336_0ff_by_0ne for my #gootloader shirt! I love it!
Gootloader acquired! Thank you @Gootloader
I have arrived at @defcon!
Who will be at @defcon #hackersummercamp? Just ordered some stickers. Will be looking to trade and cover up this my new naked laptop
Pretty neat. If #Gootloader pops up again, I will definitely check this out (but really hoping they retired/quit/arrested)

Thanks @BleepinComputer for the mention. It does seem like the sites I previously reported on are dead. Still trying to see where #gootloader is hiding

Gabor Szappanos has done significant research in the past into a #malware family called #Gootloader that (for years, now) uses malicious #SEO techniques to promote compromised websites into Google search results.
Great write up on #gootloader , but yall missed their recent TTP change. They are no longer targeting via SEO poisoning, but instead malvertising for online PDF converters (see my recent blog post)

Thanks to @smica83 for finding a fresh #Gootloader sample. Because of it, I was able to write a new #YARA rule to detect it. They are still using the same #jQuery library, but removed characters I was previously matching on. github.com/GootloaderSite…
