Russian Business Network
• The Russian Business Network (commonly abbreviated
as RBN) is a multi-faceted cybercrime organization,
specializing in and in some cases monopolizing
personal identity theft for resale.
• The RBN, which is notorious for its hosting of illegal
and dubious businesses, originated as an Internet
service provider for child pornography, phishing, spam,
and malware distribution physically based in St.
Petersburg, Russia.
• By 2007, it developed partner and affiliate marketing
techniques in many countries to provide a method for
organized crime to target victims internationally.
Russian Business Network (RBN)
Structure (circa 2007)
RBN Activities
• According to VeriSign, RBN was registered as
an internet site in 2006
• Initially, much of its activity was legitimate.
But apparently the founders soon discovered
that it was more profitable to host illegitimate
activities and started hiring its services to
criminals.
• The RBN has been described by VeriSign as
"the baddest of the bad".
RBN & Red October
• Red October was a cyber espionage malware program discovered in
October 2012 and uncovered in January 2013 by Russian firm Kaspersky
Lab.
• The malware was reportedly operating worldwide for up to five years prior
to discovery, transmitting information ranging from diplomatic secrets to
personal information, including from mobile devices.
• Red October was termed an advanced cyber espionage campaign
intended to target diplomatic, governmental and scientific research
organizations worldwide.
• After being revealed, domain registrars and hosting companies shut down
as many as 60 domains used by the virus creators to receive information.
The attackers themselves shut down their end of the operation as well.
• According to Kaspersky’s report, the oldest domain name used in the Red
October network was registered in November, 2007, and the newest in
May, 2012. The RBN Network went dark on November 4, 2007 and
temporarily moved operations to China. Then, after a few weeks,
disappeared again.
Russian Cyber Operations
David J. Smith
• “Unlike China,” Jeff Carr, the CEO of Taia Global,
explains on his Digital Dao blog, “Russian cyber
operations are rarely discovered, which is the
true measure of a successful op.”
• Russia-its government and motley crew of
government-sponsored cyber-criminals and
youth group members-has integrated cyber
operations into its military doctrine and is
conducting strategic espionage against the United
States.
