Systems that have been infected by PALEVO variants become vulnerable to more threats. These compromise systems’ security and put infected systems under the control of remote users, turning them into zombies, without their users’ permission nor knowledge. This could bring about a string of unwanted activities which could result in the increase of network traffic, among other things.
Important data like site login credentials stored on infected systems can end up in the hands of the cybercriminals behind this threat. Unless immediately changed, these may be used to initiate unauthorized bank transactions, which can lead to actual monetary losses. Cyberbcriminals may also use the stolen personal data for several other malicious activities.
Because PALEVO variants access a C&C server, attackers can push other malware to other vulnerable systems. These also access specific sites to download updated copies of themselves, apart from downloading other malware. The infected systems then exhibit all of the behaviors of the downloaded malware, making the family a persistent threat.
Some PALEVO variants are capable of initiating DDoS attacks on several entities. These attacks, including those against servers, for instance, prevent systems from properly working and renders these inaccessible to authorized users.
