  • Telenor 15 Years in Russia
    Telenor 15 years in Russia Telenor ASA, the Norwegian Telecommunications group, is happy to announce the start of celebrations of its 15th anniversary on the Russian market. Telenor first invested into the Russian market by establishing modern and digital fixed line connections to Murmansk and the Kola Peninsula in Russia's north. In St. Petersburg, Telenor was an owner from 1994 of North-West GSM, a company that later became MegaFon. Two other acquisitions, in Stavropol and Kaliningrad, were later consolidated into VimpelCom, following Telenor's first investment in that company in 1998. In 2003, Telenor merged the earlier acquired Comincom into the integrated services provider Golden Telecom. Today, Telenor holds 29.9% of the voting shares in VimpelCom and 18.4% of the shares in Golden Telecom. During its 15 years in Russia, Telenor has seen its asset value rise to over $10 billion, thus becoming the largest investor into the Russian telecoms. The Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry Dag Terje Andersen, who is currently in Moscow to celebrate Telenor Russia's anniversary, said: "Telenor has been a long-term investor in Russia - both during periods of prosperity and periods of periods recession. Telenor has contributed with capital, knowledge, technology and value creation in the Russian telecom sector." He added: "I want to wish Telenor success in Russia in the future and congratulate it with its 15th anniversary in Russia." Telenor's CEO and President Jon Fredrik Baksaas, also in Moscow for the anniversary, added: "This is a great day for our business in Russia. And this is part of a long-term industrial relationship.

    WWW.VIRUSBULLETIN.COM/CONFERENCE 2019 LONDON 2 – 4 October 2019 GEOST BOTNET. THE STORY OF THE DISCOVERY OF A NEW ANDROID BANKING TROJAN FROM AN OPSEC ERROR Sebastian García Stratosphere Laboratory and Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Maria Jose Erquiaga Stratosphere Laboratory and UNCUYO University, Argentina Anna Shirokova Avast Software, Czech Republic [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Maintaining a good operational security (OpSec) is diffi cult because it increases the cost of work and decreases the speed of actions. This is true both for security analysts and for attackers. This paper describes a new botnet, which we called Geost, discovered thanks to multiple OpSec mistakes made by the attackers. The mistakes included: the use of the HtBot malware’s illegal proxy network; failing to encrypt the command-and-control servers; re-using security services; trusting other attackers that practise even less operational security; and failing to encrypt chat sessions. As far as we know, the Geost botnet has hundreds of malicious domains, 13 C&C servers, approximately 800,000 victims in Russia, and potential access to several million Euros in bank accounts. Moreover, the operational security mistakes led to the discovery of the names of members of an underground group related to the Geost botmasters. It is seldom possible to gain such an insight into the decisions taken by attackers due to failures in their operational security. This paper summarizes the mistakes and the risks taken by the botmasters, provides an overview of the botnet operation, an analysis of the victims, and a study of the social relationships of the developers.
