2024-05-04 21:52:07 | Les cyberattaques de la Russie contre l'Allemagne condamnées par l'UE et l'OTAN Russia’s cyberattacks against Germany condemned by EU and NATO (lien direct) |
hackers russes ne ralentissent pas dans les cyberattaques.
L'attaque présumée s'est produite contre le Parti social-démocrate (SPD).Leurs comptes de messagerie ont été compromis dans l'attaque.
Cette saga de piratage a commencé il y a plus de deux ans pendant la guerre russe-Ukraine et elle a progressivement augmenté au cours du temps.
comment il a commencé
Un groupe appelé APT28, également connu sous le nom de Fancy Bear, qui aurait des liens avec le gouvernement russe, a été accusé d'avoir fait de nombreuses cyberattaques partout dans le monde, y compris en Allemagne et quelques entités tchèques.
Ils ont trouvé un Vulnérabilité Dans Microsoft Outlook et l'utiliser pour entrer dans les e-mails SPD.
La vulnérabilité, un CVE-2023-23397 zéro-jour, est un bogue d'escalade de privilège essentiel dans Outlook qui pourrait permettre aux attaquants d'accéder aux hachages net-ntlmv2, puis de les utiliser pour s'authentifier à l'aide d'une attaque de relais.
Le gouvernement allemand dit que non seulement le SPD mais aussi les entreprises allemandes en défense et en aérospatiale.
Il comprenait également des objectifs de technologie de l'information, ainsi que des choses liées à la guerre en Ukraine.
Ces cyberattaques ont commencé vers mars 2022, après que la Russie ait envahi l'Ukraine.
Le gouvernement allemand a allégué que le service de renseignement militaire de la Russie, Gru, était derrière ces attaques.
Ils ont même convoqué un diplomate russe en réponse à ces accusations.
La Russie a nié les allégations
La Russie a nié les allégations et appelé les accusations comme & # 8220; non fondée et sans fondement & # 8221;.
Le gouvernement dirigé par Poutine a nié des cyber-incidences similaires aux actes parrainés par l'État dans le passé.
L'Occident a été rigide dans son récit de l'implication de la Russie dans les cyberattaques depuis des décennies maintenant.
pas le premier rodéo
Récemment, le ministre australien des Affaires étrangères a rejoint d'autres pays en disant que l'APT28, qui serait lié à la Russie, était derrière certaines cyberattaques.
Ce n'est pas la première fois que les pirates russes sont accusés d'espionnage de l'Allemagne.
En 2020, Angela Merkel, qui était la chancelière de l'Allemagne à l'époque, a accusé la Russie de l'espionner.
Un incident majeur imputé aux pirates russes a été en 2015 lorsqu'ils ont attaqué le Parlement de l'Allemagne, ce qui l'a fait fermer pendant des jours. |

2024-04-25 10:00:00 | Pole Voûte: cyber-menaces aux élections mondiales Poll Vaulting: Cyber Threats to Global Elections (lien direct) |
Written by: Kelli Vanderlee, Jamie Collier
Executive Summary The election cybersecurity landscape globally is characterized by a diversity of targets, tactics, and threats. Elections attract threat activity from a variety of threat actors including: state-sponsored actors, cyber criminals, hacktivists, insiders, and information operations as-a-service entities. Mandiant assesses with high confidence that state-sponsored actors pose the most serious cybersecurity risk to elections. Operations targeting election-related infrastructure can combine cyber intrusion activity, disruptive and destructive capabilities, and information operations, which include elements of public-facing advertisement and amplification of threat activity claims. Successful targeting does not automatically translate to high impact. Many threat actors have struggled to influence or achieve significant effects, despite their best efforts. When we look across the globe we find that the attack surface of an election involves a wide variety of entities beyond voting machines and voter registries. In fact, our observations of past cycles indicate that cyber operations target the major players involved in campaigning, political parties, news and social media more frequently than actual election infrastructure. Securing elections requires a comprehensive understanding of many types of threats and tactics, from distributed denial of service (DDoS) to data theft to deepfakes, that are likely to impact elections in 2024. It is vital to understand the variety of relevant threat vectors and how they relate, and to ensure mitigation strategies are in place to address the full scope of potential activity. Election organizations should consider steps to harden infrastructure against common attacks, and utilize account security tools such as Google\'s Advanced Protection Program to protect high-risk accounts. Introduction The 2024 global election cybersecurity landscape is characterized by a diversity of targets, tactics, and threats. An expansive ecosystem of systems, administrators, campaign infrastructure, and public communications venues must be secured against a diverse array of operators and methods. Any election cybersecurity strategy should begin with a survey of the threat landscape to build a more proactive and tailored security posture. The cybersecurity community must keep pace as more than two billion voters are expected to head to the polls in 2024. With elections in more than an estimated 50 countries, there is an opportunity to dynamically track how threats to democracy evolve. Understanding how threats are targeting one country will enable us to better anticipate and prepare for upcoming elections globally. At the same time, we must also appreciate the unique context of different countries. Election threats to South Africa, India, and the United States will inevitably differ in some regard. In either case, there is an opportunity for us to prepare with the advantage of intelligence. |

[Eyes Open] The FTC Reveals the Latest Top Five Text Message Scams
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has published a data spotlight outlining the most common text message scams. Phony bank fraud prevention alerts were the most common type of text scam last year. "Reports about texts impersonating banks are up nearly tenfold since 2019 with median reported individual losses of $3,000 last year," the report says.
These are the top five text scams reported by the FTC:
Copycat bank fraud prevention alerts
Bogus "gifts" that can cost you
Fake package delivery problems
Phony job offers
Not-really-from-Amazon security alerts
"People get a text supposedly from a bank asking them to call a number ASAP about suspicious activity or to reply YES or NO to verify whether a transaction was authorized. If they reply, they\'ll get a call from a phony \'fraud department\' claiming they want to \'help get your money back.\' What they really want to do is make unauthorized transfers.
"What\'s more, they may ask for personal information like Social Security numbers, setting people up for possible identity theft."
Fake gift card offers took second place, followed by phony package delivery problems. "Scammers understand how our shopping habits have changed and have updated their sleazy tactics accordingly," the FTC says. "People may get a text pretending to be from the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, or UPS claiming there\'s a problem with a delivery.
"The text links to a convincing-looking – but utterly bogus – website that asks for a credit card number to cover a small \'redelivery fee.\'"
Scammers also target job seekers with bogus job offers in an attempt to steal their money and personal information. "With workplaces in transition, some scammers are using texts to perpetrate old-school forms of fraud – for example, fake \'mystery shopper\' jobs or bogus money-making offers for driving around with cars wrapped in ads," the report says.
"Other texts target people who post their resumes on employment websites. They claim to offer jobs and even send job seekers checks, usually with instructions to send some of the money to a different address for materials, training, or the like. By the time the check bounces, the person\'s money – and the phony \'employer\' – are long gone."
Finally, scammers impersonate Amazon and send fake security alerts to trick victims into sending money. "People may get what looks like a message from \'Amazon,\' asking to verify a big-ticket order they didn\'t place," the FTC says. "Concerned |

[Finger on the Pulse]: How Phishers Leverage Recent AI Buzz
Curiosity leads people to suspend their better judgment as a new campaign of credential theft exploits a person\'s excitement about the newest AI systems not yet available to the general public. On Tuesday morning, April 11th, Veriti explained that several unknown actors are making false Facebook ads which advertise a free download of AIs like ChatGPT and Google Bard.
Veriti writes "These posts are designed to appear legitimate, using the buzz around OpenAI language models to trick unsuspecting users into downloading the files. However, once the user downloads and extracts the file, the Redline Stealer (aka RedStealer) malware is activated and is capable of stealing passwords and downloading further malware onto the user\'s device."
Veriti describes the capabilities of the Redline Stealer malware which, once downloaded, can take sensitive information like credit card numbers, passwords, and personal information like user location, and hardware. Veriti added "The malware can upload and download files, execute commands, and send back data about the infected computer at regular intervals."
Experts recommend using official Google or OpenAI websites to learn when their products will be available and only downloading files from reputable sources. With the rising use of Google and Facebook ads as attack vectors experts also suggest refraining from clicking on suspicious advertisements promising early access to any product on the Internet.
Employees can be helped to develop sound security habits like these by stepping them through monthly social engineering simulations.

LastPass Hackers Stole Source Code
(published: August 26, 2022)
In August 2022, an unidentified threat actor gained access to portions of the password management giant LastPass development environment. LastPass informed that it happened through a single compromised developer account and the attacker took portions of source code and some proprietary LastPass technical information. The company claims that this incident did not affect customer data or encrypted password vaults.
Analyst Comment: This incident doesn’t seem to have an immediate impact on LastPass users. Still, organizations relying on LastPass should raise the concern in their risk assessment since “white-box hacking” (when source code of the attacking system is known) is easier for threat actors. Organizations providing public-facing software should take maximum measures to block threat actors from their development environment and establish robust and transparent security protocols and practices with all third parties involved in their code development.

Mercury Leveraging Log4j 2 Vulnerabilities in Unpatched Systems to Target Israeli
(published: August 25, 2022)
Starting in July 2022, a new campaign by Iran-sponsored group Static Kitten (Mercury, MuddyWater) was detected targeting Israeli organizations. Microsoft researchers detected that this campaign was leveraging exploitation of Log4j 2 vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-44228) in SysAid applications (IT management tools). For persistence Static Kitten was dropping webshells, creating local administrator accounts, stealing credentials, and adding their tools in the startup folders and autostart extensibility point (ASEP) registry keys. Overall the group was heavily using various open-source and built-in operating system tools: eHorus remote management software, Ligolo reverse tunneling tool, Mimikatz credential theft tool, PowerShell programs, RemCom remote service, Venom proxy tool, and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
Analyst Comment: Network defenders should monitor for alerts related to web shell threats, suspicious RDP sessions, ASEP registry anomaly, and suspicious account creation. Similarly, SysAid users can monitor for webshells and abnormal processes related to SysAisServer instance. Even though Static Kitten was observed leveraging the Log4Shell vulnerabilities in the past (targeting VMware apps), most of their attacks still start with spearphishing, often from a compromised email account.

Colonial Pipeline Reports Data Breach After May Ransomware Attack
(published: August 16, 2021)
Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel pipeline in the United States, is sending notification letters to 5,810 individuals affected by the data breach resulting from the DarkSide ransomware attack. During the incident, which occurred during May this year, DarkSide also stole roughly 100GB of files in about two hours. Right after the attack Colonial Pipeline took certain systems offline, temporarily halted all pipeline operations, and paid $4.4 million worth of cryptocurrency for a decryptor, most of it later recovered by the FBI. The DarkSide ransomware gang abruptly shut down their operation due to increased level of attention from governments, but later resurfaced under new name BlackMatter. Emsisoft CTO Fabian Wosar confirmed that both BlackMatter RSA and Salsa20 implementation including their usage of a custom matrix comes from DarkSide.
Analyst Comment: BlackMatter (ex DarkSide) group added "Oil and Gas industry (pipelines, oil refineries)" to their non-target list, but ransomware remains a significant threat given profitability and the growing number of ransomware threat actors with various levels of recklessness. Double-extortion schemes are adding data exposure to a company's risks. Stopping ransomware affiliates requires defense in depth including: patch management, enhancing your Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools with ThreatStream, the threat intelligence platform (TIP), and utilizing data loss prevention systems (DLP).

Indra — Hackers Behind Recent Attacks on Iran
(published: August 14, 2021)
Check Point Research discovered that a July 2021 cyber attack against Iranian railway system was committed by Indra, a non-government group. The attackers had access to the targeted networks for a month and then deployed a previously unseen file wiper called Meteor effectively disrupting train service throughout the country. Previous versions of the Indra wiper named Stardust and Comet were seen in Syria, where Indra was attacking oil, airline, and financial sectors at least since 2019.
Analyst Comment: It is concerning that even non-government threat actors can damage a critical infrastructure in a large country. Similar to ransomware protection, with regards to wiper attacks organizations should improve their intrusion detection methods and have a resilient backup system.
