“He is the boss of Trickbot,” says Alex Holden, who is CEO of cybersecurity firm Hold Security and has knowledge of the workings of the gang. Stern acts like a CEO of the Trickbot group and communicates with other members who are at a similar level. They may also report to others who are unknown, Holden says. “Stern does not get into the technical side as much,” he says. “He wants reports. He wants more communication. He wants to make high-level decisions.
Messages between Target and Stern show that in mid-2020 the group was spending money on three main areas. Two offices—“one main and one new for training”—were being used for the current operators’ expenses and expansion. “Hacker offices,” where 20-plus people worked, would be used for interviews, equipment, servers, and hiring, Target said. And finally, there would be an office for “programmers” and their equipment.
