ESET takes part in global Operation Endgame to disrupt Amadey botnet and Stealc infostealer

  • ESET took part in a coordinated global operation to disrupt Amadey and Stealc.
  • The disruption operation aimed to seize or render inoperative all known Amadey and Stealc C&C servers, directly disrupting the infrastructure relied upon by both MaaS offerings’ affiliates.
  • ESET Research provided technical analysis, statistical information, known C&C servers, encryption keys, campaign identifiers, and other insights.
  • In its report, ESET Research provides an overview of the MaaS ecosystem at the affiliate level for both malware families.

BRATISLAVA, PRAGUE — June 24, 2026 — ESET Research assisted in disrupting the Amadey botnet and the Stealc infostealer by providing technical analysis, infrastructure tracking, and affiliate-level insights. Both are operated as malware as a service (MaaS). The operation – coordinated by Microsoft Digital Crimes Unit (DCU), BitSight, Lumen, and Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions (MBSD) – targeted all known network infrastructure used by Amadey and Stealc affiliates in order to cripple their cybercriminal operations. At the same time, Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3), together with European law enforcement partners, including Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office, and both the Dutch and Danish National Police, were investigating Stealc as part of Operation Endgame, alongside IBM and Proofpoint.

The ESET telemetry detection rate indicates that Amadey was observed globally without a specific regional focus. The highest detection rates were observed in India, Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, and Spain. Stealc, too, was distributed globally without a specific regional focus. The highest detection rates were observed in the United States, Poland, and Italy.

ESET contributed to the disruption by providing technical analysis, statistical information, known command and control (C&C) servers, encryption keys, campaign and build identifiers, and other threat intelligence collected during our long-term tracking of both malware families.

“ESET has been tracking both Amadey botnet and Stealc infostealer for the past three years. For the disruption operation, we shared statistics covering Q4 2025 to H1 2026, along with technical indicators and configuration data extracted from processed malware samples,” explains ESET researcher Jakub Tomanek, who assisted in the Amadey and Stealc disruption efforts. “Our automated systems have been dissecting Amadey and Stealc samples and identifying the fields most relevant for large-scale tracking. These include C&C servers, build identifiers, encryption keys, URL paths, campaign identifiers, and other embedded values used by the malware families during communication with attacker-controlled infrastructure,” he adds.

Sharing technical analysis, statistical information, and threat intelligence, such as C&C server lists, affiliate identifiers, and encryption keys, enables law enforcement agencies to identify, prioritize, and act against infrastructure with a high degree of confidence.

Amadey is a modular malware loader. Its main purpose is to distribute additional malware to compromised systems, although it also offers modules for data exfiltration and remote access. Stealc, in contrast, is typical infostealer as a service. It targets credentials, cookies, cryptocurrency wallets, browser extensions, and files matching affiliate-defined patterns.

Both malware families are sold as services and advertised on darknet forums. In both ecosystems, affiliates receive a self-hosted administration panel that must be deployed on their own server infrastructure. This requires a certain level of technical skill from affiliates, and gives them direct control over victim data and payload distribution.

While distribution methods ultimately depend on each individual affiliate, ESET telemetry consistently showed that both malware families were delivered through a wide range of channels. The most common methods included fake software updates, cracked software installers, and third-party malware loaders.

Amadey used a pay-per-rebuild model. Affiliates purchased a license and then paid an additional fee each time they needed to generate a new build (for example, when rotating to a new C&C server). In other words, Amadey operators did not provide affiliates with a builder tool; instead, samples were compiled on request for each affiliate. It offers three modules for further data exfiltration and access: a clipboard monitoring module, a credential theft module, and a VNC-based remote access module. The service is priced at USD 600 in Bitcoin for a single license, with an additional USD 50 charged per rebuild.

Stealc took a more affiliate-friendly approach, offering unlimited build generation as part of the subscription. This lowered the operational cost of rotating C&C infrastructure and made it easier for affiliates to generate new samples as needed. It targets a broad range of data sources, including credentials stored by web browsers, email clients, FTP clients, gaming platforms, cryptocurrency wallet files, and browser extensions. Stealc is sold as a monthly subscription with the cheapest subscription for 1,000 USD per six months.

Trying to avoid impersonation scams, both operators explicitly instructed prospective affiliates on darknet forums to contact them only through official channels. Amadey directed buyers to private messages on the darknet forum where it is advertised, while Stealc used private messages on darknet forums or Telegram.

ESET will continue to monitor both families and track any attempts to rebuild operational infrastructure following the disruption.

ESET Research investigates Gentlemen ransomware gang and its defense-evasion tools

  • Gentlemen operators develop and maintain an EDR-killer suite provided directly to affiliates.
  • GentleKiller, an in-house framework, has at least eight variants abusing different vulnerable or malicious drivers.
  • Gentlemen operators apply a unified evasion strategy across tools to standardize impersonation and protection.
  • Third-party EDR killers (HexKiller, ThrottleBlood, and HavocKiller) are operationally integrated.
  • The gang’s victimology is globally distributed and notably not US focused.
BRATISLAVA, PRAGUE — June 18, 2026 — ESET researchers analyzed the robust EDR-killing toolset of the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) gang Gentlemen. Since the beginning of 2026, Gentlemen has emerged as one of the most active gangs in the ransomware ecosystem. The group distinguishes itself through a mature, operator-maintained set of endpoint detection and response (EDR) killers — tools for disrupting security software. Additionally, unlike most top-tier gangs, Gentlemen does not exhibit a strong US-centric victimology, instead targeting victims across Southeast Asia, South America, and Western Europe. The gang’s targeting includes some otherwise rarely targeted countries like Thailand, Brazil, and France. “While there have been multiple reports covering Gentlemen in recent months, they have not focused on a detailed analysis of the group’s EDR killers. Thanks to ESET’s continued incident-level visibility, we can provide a uniquely deep view into Gentlemen’s EDR-killer development practices. The internal data leak that Gentlemen suffered in May 2026 gave us more insight into the inner workings of the group,” says ESET researcher Jakub Souček, who tracks EDR killers. “The leak also allowed us to confirm the hypothesis we formed in February 2026: that Gentlemen operators actively develop and maintain a portfolio of EDR killers that they offer to affiliates, centered around their in-house framework, which we have named GentleKiller.” Additionally, the group incorporates third-party or leaked tools such as HexKiller, ThrottleBlood, and HavocKiller. These tools are standardized through a shared defense-evasion layer, impersonating predominantly security vendors by using fake version information and copied legitimate certificates and icons. Gentlemen also demonstrates an ability to unusually quickly operationalize newly disclosed Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver proofs-of-concept, often within days of public release. Apart from the EDR killers, we also identified a credential stealer we named OxideHarvest; this tool was developed by one of Gentlemen’s affiliates. For context, Gentlemen emerged in late 2025 as a RaaS operation and quickly grew into one of the most active ransomware gangs observed in Q1 2026. The gang offers a generous 90% share to affiliates. Gentlemen utilizes double extortion — in addition to encrypting the victim data, the group also threatens to leak the data if the ransom is not paid. One of the things that sets Gentlemen apart is the gang’s willingness to offer more than just encryptors to affiliates — in particular, the gang also provides EDR killers. Gentlemen represents a different, and so far underreported, approach. Rather than relying on affiliates to source their own EDR killers, Gentlemen operators actively develop and maintain a portfolio of EDR killers for affiliates. While the victimology of large RaaS operations is often shaped more by affiliates’ choices than by operator-led strategy, one particular pattern still tends to emerge. Most major ransomware gangs show a strong and persistent focus on the United States, which frequently accounts for roughly half of all announced victims. Gentlemen stands out as a notable exception to this trend. Despite ranking among the five most active ransomware gangs in Q1 2026, its victimology does not exhibit a comparable US focus. Instead, Gentlemen affiliates consistently target victims across a broad and geographically diverse range of countries, with a significant number of victims coming from regions such as Southeast Asia, South America, and Western Europe. Gentlemen operators apply a specific set of defense evasion techniques to the gang’s various EDR killers. These techniques are applied to compiled samples rather than source code. This gives Gentlemen the option to also protect the EDR killers whose source code the gang does not possess. GentleKiller is by far the most prevalent EDR killer observed in the Gentlemen ecosystem. To date, ESET Research has discovered eight distinct variants, each impersonating a different legitimate product and abusing a different vulnerable or malicious driver. Despite these surface-level differences, ESET classifies all of these samples under the GentleKiller umbrella due to a high degree of shared internal characteristics. “From a defense perspective, understanding how GentleKiller works allows defenders to better design their defensive strategies and defend even against yet-to-be-developed additions to Gentlemen’s EDR-killing arsenal,” concludes Souček.

ESET releases 2026 SMB Cyber Readiness Index showing growing confidence but also concerns about AI

BRATISLAVA — June 2, 2026 — ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity, today released its SMB Cyber Readiness Index 2026, based on a global survey of 4,400 SMB decision makers representing organizations with 25 to 1,000 endpoints across 13 countries in North America, Europe, and Asia. 

The index examines SMB cybersecurity sentiment across the most pressing challenges facing the segment, including the dual role of AI in driving new threats within the threat landscape and defending against them in business environments, overall cybersecurity posture, awareness training, and incident response.

The data shows that 45% of SMBs experienced a cybersecurity incident in the past 12 months, with 14% experiencing more than one incident. A majority of surveyed SMBs (61%) report  being seriously concerned about cyberattacks, while 75% consider cyberwarfare and global conflicts to be real cyber threats capable of impacting their business operations.

Among cyber threats, SMBs report the greatest concern with AI powered malware, even though such threats remain relatively rare at present.

Overall, the survey highlights several positive trends. Insurance and compliance requirements are driving stronger cybersecurity practices, and many SMBs have accepted that organizational size does not provide protection from cyber threats. As a result, businesses appear increasingly prepared to confront attacks.

  • 68% of SMBs are confident in their ability to prevent attacks, and 75% trust their cyber resilience when responding to incidents
  • 65% are satisfied with their cybersecurity budgets, with an additional 15% reporting they are “more than satisfied”
  • Only 11% operate with essential (minimal) cybersecurity protection
  • 87% view employee education as very important or critical to cyber resilience, with 67% conducting training more than once per year
  • Just 6% rely solely on basic awareness training programs, while an additional 2% provide no cybersecurity training at all
  • More than one third of SMBs investigated cyber incidents within two weeks

Despite these improvements, notable concerns remain. Many SMBs underestimate the seriousness of supply chain attacks and the risks associated with AI enabled tools, including so called shadow AI.

Since March 2026, ESET technologies have scanned nearly 800,000 unique AI skills – modular components that instruct AI agents how to perform tasks, use tools, access services, and interact with external systems. Approximately 25,000 of the skills were classified as suspicious and more than 3,000 are blocked as outright malicious. The overall figure represents a 13-fold surge from the approximately 60,000 publicly available skills observed at the beginning of this year. According to ESET researchers, AI skills are part of a rapidly growing software supply-chain layer, often connecting sensitive systems to external repositories, plugins, datasets, and third-party services.

“Cybersecurity is entering a completely new era,” said Richard Marko, CEO of ESET. “Artificial intelligence is no longer only a tool for defense. It is becoming part of the attack surface itself. Our investment is focused on ensuring that AI strengthens cybersecurity rather than weakens it – and on building technologies capable of protecting organizations in a world of autonomous AI.”

The initiative is intended to strengthen ESET’s technological independence and European cybersecurity sovereignty at a time when access to advanced AI systems is increasingly concentrated among a small number of global technology companies. “We believe the future of cybersecurity cannot depend entirely on models controlled by Big Tech,” Marko added. “In cybersecurity, sovereignty matters.”

Supported by a three-year hiring plan which will see ESET’s R&D team increase to 1,000 researchers and engineers, the €40 million investment will focus on three strategic areas:

  • independent security-first foundational AI models;
  • a complete layered AI security stack;
  • the new generation AI SOC.

“ESET has long led the way in applying AI to cybersecurity,” said Juraj Jánošík, ESET VP of Artificial Intelligence. “What’s changing now is the role that AI plays. AI tools are becoming part of everyday work, agentic systems are expanding the attack surface, and security teams need faster ways to respond to threats. This investment lets us work across the full horizon: securing AI use, building AI models for cybersecurity, and bringing autonomous capabilities into security operations under human oversight.”

Independent security-first foundational AI models

ESET will accelerate the development of its own security-focused AI models designed specifically for cybersecurity applications. Unlike general-purpose AI systems trained on broad internet content, ESET’s models will be optimized using cybersecurity telemetry and real-world threat intelligence gathered over the almost 35 years of ESET’s existence.

The company will continue expanding its existing AI-powered technologies (such as ESET LiveGrid, ESET LiveCortex and ESET LiveGuard), while also exploring emerging AI concepts, including World Models capable of understanding behavior, context, and intent within digital environments.

Building a complete layered AI security stack

As AI becomes integrated into everyday business operations, ESET is building a comprehensive AI-native security architecture designed to protect organizations from emerging AI-driven risks and threats. The investment will include the development of ESET Secure AI Relay – a secure intermediary layer between users, AI agents, business applications, and AI models.

The cybersecurity firm will also build network-level security protections for communication between AI agents. ESET AI Skills Checker (a free tool launched at RSAC 2026 Conference), together with its enhanced versions integrated into ESET products, was designed specifically for this emerging ecosystem of agentic AI systems.

Building the new generation AI SOC

A new generation of AI Security Operations Center (SOC) technologies will be designed to address the growing scale and complexity of modern detection and response environments. Rather than simply replacing analysts with AI agents, ESET aims to fundamentally rethink how cybersecurity telemetry is processed, correlated, and understood. The company’s vision is to make advanced AI-powered cybersecurity accessible not only to large enterprises, but also to mid-sized and smaller organizations through highly automated, supervised protection technologies.

“Cybersecurity cannot scale by adding more alerts, more dashboards, and more complexity,” Marko added. “The industry needs another major leap forward. We believe AI must help make world-class cybersecurity effortless and available to everyone.”
