Introduction Last month in mid-August 2015, an actor using Angler exploit kit (EK) switched to Neutrino EK [1]. A few days later, we found that actor using Angler again [2]. This week, were back to seeingNeutrino EK from the same actor. Neutrino EK from this actor is sending TeslaCrypt 2.0 as the payload. We also saw another actor use Angler EK to pushBedep during the same timeframe. Todays diary looks at two infection chains from Tuesday 2015-09-01, one for Angler EK and another for Neutrino.
