Cybercrime Syndicate's Double Game: Selling Phishing Tools While Posing as Legit
April 3, 2024
The Manipulaters, a cybercrime group based in Pakistan, have been active for nearly a decade.
They have a history of selling phishing and spam delivery tools, despite claims of becoming legitimate.
Saim Raza, the core brand of the group, continues to sell spamming and phishing services under various aliases.
Recent research uncovered malware on their computers, leading to the exposure of a large amount of account-related data.
Their flagship product, HeartSender, specializes in spam and email-to-SMS spamming services, with recent attempts at impersonating postal services for phishing.
Group leader Saim Raza has avoided answering questions regarding these activities and claims to have left Pakistan to avoid corrupt authorities, though his current location remains unconfirmed.
