The Darcula phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform is preparing to release its third major version, with one of the highlighted features, the ability to create do-it-yourself phishing kits to target any brand.
The upcoming release, currently available as a beta, will remove the targeting scope restrictions by offering a finite number of phishing kits and allowing anyone to create their own.
In addition to this new feature, the upcoming release, named 'Darcula Suite,' also lifts technical skills requirements, a new user-friendly admin dashboard, IP and bot filtering, campaign performance measurement, and automated credit card theft/digital wallet loading.
Netcraft researchers tested one of the latest beta builds of Darcula Suite for hands-on analysis and confirmed that the announced features are legitimate.
Darcula emerged last year as a massive PhaaS operation relying on 20,000 domains that spoof renowned brands to steal credentials from Android and iOS users in over 100 countries.
