A few months have passed since the release of the “Backoff” point-of-sale (PoS) malware advisory, but Backoff and other PoS malware continue to be an active threat as businesses keep reporting data breaches and the compromise of their customers’ financial information.
We have recently encountered a new version of the Backoff malware family, which we are detecting as W32/Backoff.B!tr.spy. Unlike previous versions, this one no longer uses a version number in the malware body, but just uses the version name ROM. ROM performs very similarly to Backoff’s previous versions, but modifications have been made to make analysis more difficult and to avoid detection.
