Dridex. Dridex, also known as Bugat and Cridex, is a form of malware that specializes in stealing bank credentials via a system that utilizes macros from Microsoft Word.

The targets of this malware are Windows users who open an email attachment in Word or Excel, causing macros to activate and download Dridex, infecting the computer and opening the victim to banking theft.

The primary objective of this software is to steal banking information from users of infected machines to immediately launch fraudulent transactions. Bank information for the software installs a keyboard listener and performs injection attacks. During 2015, theft caused by this software was estimated at £20 million in the United Kingdom and $10 million in the United States. By 2015, Dridex attacks had been detected in more than 20 countries. In early September 2016, researchers spotted initial support for targeting cryptocurrency wallets.

In December 2019, US authorities filed charges against two suspects believed to have created the Dridex malware, including the group's alleged leader.

Evil Corp
Evil Corp ( Dridex and INDRIK SPIDER) is a Russian hacking group that has been active since 2009. In 2019, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) named nine alleged members of the group, accusing them of extorting or stealing over $100,000,000 through hacks that affected 40 countries. The United States Department of the Treasury additionally imposed sanctions against the group. In November 2021, the British Broadcasting Corporation published an investigation which found that the two alleged leaders of the group were living openly in Russia.

In June of 2022, Mandiant reported that Evil Corp was using off-the-shelf ransomware, such as LockBit, to conceal their identity and evade sanctions. The Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Evil Corp in December 2019 over development and use of Dridex malware. People in the United States were banned from "engaging in transactions" with Evil Corp. People outside the US may be subject to secondary sanctions for knowingly facilitating significant transactions with Evil Corp. The US government also charged two members of the gang and offered a reward of $5 million dollars.

Mandiant has linked the group to threat actor UNC2165.

Emsisoft analysts said in December 2021 that they suspected a ransomware infection in which REvil was a suspect was in fact the work of Evil Corp.

John Breedon Everard. John Breedon Everard (22 September 1844 – 12 September 1923) was an English civil engineer and architect strongly associated with works in Leicestershire, and co-founder of the firm Pick Everard.

Career
Everard was born in Groby, Leicestershire, the son of a mine and quarry owner, Breedon Everard (1814-1882). In 1862, Everard was articled to John Brown, a partner in Messrs Brown and Jeffcock, a firm of civil and mining engineers in Barnsley and Sheffield, South Yorkshire. In 1866, he was appointed assistant resident engineer on construction of the Kentish Town to St Pancras section of the Midland Railway.

In 1868, he set up in practice as a civil engineer in Leicester.

Everard became a partner in the firm of Ellis and Everard (later Aggregate Industries) in 1874, helping in the development of the Bardon Hill quarry and associated worker facilities including a school (1895) and two churches, at Hugglescote (built in two phases, 1878, 1887) and Bardon (1898). Bardon mill house, originally constructed to his design between 1874 and 1878 to house stone-breaking equipment, was doubled in size in 1902.

Everard was elected a fellow of the Geological Society in 1870, a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1886, and a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1887 (he was also President of the Leicestershire Society of Architects). He was also a member of the Surveyors' Institute and the Mining Institute.

Everard also specialised in water supply projects. He helped initiate the Derwent Valley scheme supplying water to Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Derby, taking responsibility for the Leicester section of the scheme from Sawley to Hallgates, which included an aqueduct across the River Trent and two covered service reservoirs each holding two million gallons of water. His work also included buildings at Swithland Reservoir, completed in 1896.

Other designs by Everard include:
A Victorian Turkish baths building in Leicester, opened in Friar Lane in 1872 (now housing the Leicester Law Society Library), 
 A new tower brewery in 1875 for his uncle, the brewer William Everard's Everards Brewery at Southgate St, Leicester.
 The Leicestershire South African War Memorial (unveiled in July 1909).

He built himself a large red brick house, Woodville, in Leicester's Knighton Park Road in 1883, and by the end of the century he was in partnership with Samuel Perkins Pick (architect of the County Lunatic Asylum at Narborough, 1904–7). The firm survives to this day as Pick Everard. Everard served as High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1913.
