CDR Thief Malware Targets VoIP Gear in Carrier Networks

2020-09-10

The Linux-targeted code can steal phone-call metadata, likely in spy campaigns or for use in VoIP fraud. A malware dubbed CDRThief is targeting voice over IP (VoIP) softswitches inside the networks of large telecom carriers. According to ESET researchers, the malware was custom-developed to attack the Linknat VOS2009 and VOS3000 softswitches, which run on standard Linux servers. The code is capable of retrieving private call metadata, including call-detail records (CDRs), which log the call times, duration, completion status, source number and destination number of phone calls flowing through a carrier’s network.
