I believe that the person behind this Malware are doing their best to hide any trace from the public after getting a big sum of money, stolen from innocent victims. These types of crimes are getting worse everyday because sometimes it’s hard for the Police to keep track in so many cases at the same time, unless it’s a huge sum of assets that got stolen or a known company behind the story then we don’t see an actual investigation.
Any scammer or hacker obviously doesn’t want to get caught, so they try to delete any trace of what they did. That’s exactly what this hacker did. He kept releasing new versions of his software containing malware and once he managed to scam or steal from someone, he would delete those versions and upload new ones and gave some ridiculous excuses for it.
But this case is different because this developer’s information is publicly known. Once the necessary evidence is provided to the authorities and his involvement is proven, there’s no doubt that he will be in the hands of law enforcement for questioning.
Samfw or similar Windows tools are always a risk to install, sometimes even antivirus wouldn’t prevent or keep your computer safe, especially when you allow the automatic updates.
That’s right. The OP also discovered that the software can’t even be installed safely in an isolated virtual environment, which alone makes it a serious threat to users.
