| Texte | The Cybersecurity Stop of the Month blog series explores the ever-evolving tactics of today\'s cybercriminals. It also examines how Proofpoint helps businesses to fortify their email defenses to protect people against today\'s emerging threats. Proofpoint people protection: end-to-end, complete and continuous. So far in this series, we have examined these types of attacks: Uncovering BEC and supply chain attacks (June 2023) Defending against EvilProxy phishing and cloud account takeover (July 2023) Detecting and analyzing a SocGholish Attack (August 2023) Preventing eSignature phishing (September 2023) QR code scams and phishing (October 2023) Telephone-oriented attack delivery sequence (November 2023) Using behavioral AI to squash payroll diversion (December 2023) Multifactor authentication manipulation (January 2024) Preventing supply chain compromise (February 2024) Detecting multilayered malicious QR code attacks (March 2024) Defeating malicious application creation attacks (April 2024) Stopping supply chain impersonation attacks (May 2024) CEO impersonation attacks (June 2024) DarkGate malware (July 2024) Credential Phishing Attack Targeting User Location Data (August 2024) Preventing Vendor Impersonation Scams (September 2024) Background According to The Center for Internet Security, Inc., SocGholish remains the top malware downloader, responsible for 60% of all these types of attacks. Why do cybercriminals favor SocGholish? Because it\'s a highly effective social engineering tool to distribute malware through malicious or compromised websites. It uses fake software updates, most often masquerading as browser updates, to trick users into downloading malware. Once the malware is installed, it uses different methods to redirect traffic and deliver harmful payloads. This allows it to steal sensitive data from a user\'s system. SocGholish can also be used for further attacks, like installing remote access tools or even ransomware. SocGholish stands out because of several key features: Social engineering. SocGholish tricks users into downloading malware by mimicking software updates, usually for browsers. These familiar prompts make users more likely to trust them and fall for the scam. Wide attack surface. SocGholish often spreads through legitimate websites that have been compromised. When users visit these sites, they are presented with a prompt to download a fake update. Since legitimate websites are used as the delivery mechanism, users are more likely to believe the prompt and download the malware. Easy customization. Threat actors can modify SocGholish code to avoid detection by antivirus and email security tools. This flexibility helps it stay ahead of cybersecurity defenses. Targeted and broad campaigns. SocGholish can be used in both wide-reaching and targeted attacks, which makes it versatile. Threat actors can tailor fake updates to target specific groups, which makes it effective for general malware distribution or more focused phishing campaigns. Persistent and hard to detect. SocGholish often delivers its malware in stages using obfuscated scripts, making it difficult for security systems to detect. This stealthy behavior allows the malware to remain in a system longer without raising alarms. It\'s easy to see why SocGholish is a favored tool for cybercriminals. It combines social engineering with malware that\'s not only easy to distribute but also easy to tweak to avoid detection. SocGholish attack sequence: Typical SocGholish attack sequence. Initial compromise. Threat actors first compromise legitimate websites by injecting malicious JavaScript into them. Fake update notification. When a user visits the site, a pop-up or redirect appears that claims their bro |
