Following the discovery of malware residing within ESXi hypervisors in September 2022, Mandiant began investigating numerous intrusions conducted by UNC3886, a suspected China-nexus cyber espionage actor that has targeted prominent strategic organizations on a global scale. In January 2023, Mandiant provided detailed analysis of the exploitation of a now-patched vulnerability in FortiOS employed by a threat actor suspected to be UNC3886. In March 2023, we provided details surrounding a custom malware ecosystem utilized on affected Fortinet devices. Furthermore, the investigation uncovered the compromise of VMware technologies, which facilitated access to guest virtual machines. Investigations into more recent operations in 2023 following fixes from the vendors involved in the investigation have corroborated Mandiant\'s initial observations that the actor operates in a sophisticated, cautious, and evasive nature. Mandiant has observed that UNC3886 employed several layers of organized persistence for redundancy to maintain access to compromised environments over time. Persistence mechanisms encompassed network devices, hypervisors, and virtual machines, ensuring alternative channels remain available even if the primary layer is detected and eliminated. This blog post discusses UNC3886\'s intrusion path and subsequent actions that were performed in the environments after compromising the guest virtual machines to achieve access to the critical systems, including: The use of publicly available rootkits for long-term persistence Deployment of malware that leveraged trusted third-party services for command and control (C2 or C&C) Subverting access and collecting credentials with Secure Shell (SSH) backdoors Extracting credentials from TACACS+ authentication using custom malware Mandiant has published detection and hardening guidelines for ESXi hypervisors and attack techniques employed by UNC3886.

Fireeye Mandiant a récemment découvert une nouvelle famille de logiciels malveillants utilisé par APT41 (un groupe APT chinois) conçu pour surveiller et enregistrer le trafic SMS à partir de numéros de téléphone spécifiques, de numéros IMSI et de mots clés pour le vol ultérieur.Nommé Messagetap, l'outil a été déployé par APT41 dans un fournisseur de réseaux de télécommunications à l'appui des efforts d'espionnage chinois.Les opérations d'APT41 \\ ont inclus des missions de cyber-espionnage parrainées par l'État ainsi que des intrusions financièrement motivées.Ces opérations se sont déroulées depuis 2012 à nos jours.Pour un aperçu de l'APT41, consultez notre Août 2019 Blog Post ou | Malware Tool | APT 41 | ★★★ |
