CyberheistNews Vol 13 #15 CyberheistNews Vol 13 #15  |   April 11th, 2023 [The New Face of Fraud] FTC Sheds Light on AI-Enhanced Family Emergency Scams The Federal Trade Commission is alerting consumers about a next-level, more sophisticated family emergency scam that uses AI which imitates the voice of a "family member in distress." They started out with: "You get a call. There\'s a panicked voice on the line. It\'s your grandson. He says he\'s in deep trouble - he wrecked the car and landed in jail. But you can help by sending money. You take a deep breath and think. You\'ve heard about grandparent scams. But darn, it sounds just like him. How could it be a scam? Voice cloning, that\'s how." "Don\'t Trust The Voice" The FTC explains: "Artificial intelligence is no longer a far-fetched idea out of a sci-fi movie. We\'re living with it, here and now. A scammer could use AI to clone the voice of your loved one. All he needs is a short audio clip of your family member\'s voice - which he could get from content posted online - and a voice-cloning program. When the scammer calls you, he\'ll sound just like your loved one. "So how can you tell if a family member is in trouble or if it\'s a scammer using a cloned voice? Don\'t trust the voice. Call the person who supposedly contacted you and verify the story. Use a phone number you know is theirs. If you can\'t reach your loved one, try to get in touch with them through another family member or their friends." Full text of the alert is at the FTC website.

CyberheistNews Vol 13 #14 CyberheistNews Vol 13 #14  |   April 4th, 2023 [Eyes on the Prize] How Crafty Cons Attempted a 36 Million Vendor Email Heist The details in this thwarted VEC attack demonstrate how the use of just a few key details can both establish credibility and indicate the entire thing is a scam. It\'s not every day you hear about a purely social engineering-based scam taking place that is looking to run away with tens of millions of dollars. But, according to security researchers at Abnormal Security, cybercriminals are becoming brazen and are taking their shots at very large prizes. This attack begins with a case of VEC – where a domain is impersonated. In the case of this attack, the impersonated vendor\'s domain (which had a .com top level domain) was replaced with a matching .cam domain (.cam domains are supposedly used for photography enthusiasts, but there\'s the now-obvious problem with it looking very much like .com to the cursory glance). The email attaches a legitimate-looking payoff letter complete with loan details. According to Abnormal Security, nearly every aspect of the request looked legitimate. The telltale signs primarily revolved around the use of the lookalike domain, but there were other grammatical mistakes (that can easily be addressed by using an online grammar service or ChatGPT). This attack was identified well before it caused any damage, but the social engineering tactics leveraged were nearly enough to make this attack successful. Security solutions will help stop most attacks, but for those that make it past scanners, your users need to play a role in spotting and stopping BEC, VEC and phishing attacks themselves – something taught through security awareness training combined with frequent simulated phishing and other social engineering tests.

"A leader tasked with cybersecurity can get ahead of the game by understanding where we are in the story of machine learning (ML) as a hacking tool," Tyson writes. "At present, the most important area of relevance around AI for cybersecurity is content generation. "This is where machine learning is making its greatest strides and it dovetails nicely for hackers with vectors such as phishing and malicious chatbots. The capacity to craft compelling, well-formed text is in the hands of anyone with access to ChatGPT, and that\'s basically anyone with an internet connection." Tyson quotes Conal Gallagher, CIO and CISO at Flexera, as saying that since attackers can now write grammatically correct phishing emails, users will need to pay attention to the circumstances of the emails. "Looking for bad grammar and incorrect spelling is a thing of the past - even pre-ChatGPT phishing emails have been getting more sophisticated," Gallagher said. "We must ask: \'Is the email expected? Is the from address legit? Is the email enticing you to click on a link?\' Security awareness training still has a place to play here." Tyson explains that technical defenses have become very effective, so attackers focus on targeting humans to bypass these measures. "Email and other elements of software infrastructure offer built-in fundamental security that largely guarantees we are not in danger until we ourselves take action," Tyson writes. "This is where we can install a tripwire in our mindsets: we should be hyper aware of what it is we are acting upon when we act upon it. "Not until an employee sends a reply, runs an attachment, or fills in a form is sensitive information at risk. The first ring of defense in our mentality should be: \'Is the content I\'m looking at legit, not just based on its internal aspects, but given the entire context?\' The second ring of defense in our mentality then has to be, \'Wait! I\'m being asked to do something here.\'" New-school security awareness training with simulated phishing tests enables your employees to recognize increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks and builds a strong security culture. Remember: Culture eats strategy for breakfast and is always top-down.

The title said it all, and the news is that more than 4% of employees have put sensitive corporate data into the large language model, raising concerns that its popularity may result in massive leaks of proprietary information. Yikes. I'm giving you a short extract of the story and the link to the whole article is below. "Employees are submitting sensitive business data and privacy-protected information to large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, raising concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) services could be incorporating the data into their models, and that information could be retrieved at a later date if proper data security isn't in place for the service. "In a recent report, data security service Cyberhaven detected and blocked requests to input data into ChatGPT from 4.2% of the 1.6 million workers at its client companies because of the risk of leaking confidential info, client data, source code, or regulated information to the LLM. "In one case, an executive cut and pasted the firm's 2023 strategy document into ChatGPT and asked it to create a PowerPoint deck. In another case, a doctor input his patient's name and their medical condition and asked ChatGPT to craft a letter to the patient's insurance company. "And as more employees use ChatGPT and other AI-based services as productivity tools, the risk will grow, says Howard Ting, CEO of Cyberhaven. "'There was this big migration of data from on-prem to cloud, and the next big shift is going to be the migration of data into these generative apps," he says. "And how that plays out [remains to be seen] - I think, we're in pregame; we're not even in the first inning.'" Your employees need to be stepped through new-school security awareness training so that they understand the risks of doing things like this.

Less than 24 hours after two massive earthquakes claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people, cybercrooks are already piggybacking on the horrible humanitarian crisis. You need to alert your employees, friends and family... again. Just one example are scammers that pose as representatives from a Ukrainian charity foundation that seeks money to help those affected by the natural disasters that struck in the early hours of Monday. There are going to be a raft of scams varying from blood drives to pleas for charitable contributions for victims and their families. Unfortunately, this type of scam is the worst kind of phishbait, and it is a very good idea to inoculate people before they get suckered into falling for a scam like this. I suggest you send the following short alert to as many people as you can. As usual, feel free to edit: [ALERT] "Lowlife internet scum is trying to benefit from the Turkey-Syria earthquake. The first phishing campaigns have already been sent and more will be coming that try to trick you into clicking on a variety of links about blood drives, charitable donations, or "exclusive" videos. "Don't let them shock you into clicking on anything, or open possibly dangerous attachments you did not ask for! Anything you receive about this recent earthquake, be very suspicious. With this topic, think three times before you click. It is very possible that it is a scam, even though it might look legit or was forwarded to you by a friend -- be especially careful when it seems to come from someone you know through email, a text or social media postings because their account may be hacked. "In case you want to donate to charity, go to your usual charity by typing their name in the address bar of your browser and do not click on a link in any email. Remember, these precautions are just as important at the house as in the office, so tell your friends and family." It is unfortunate that we continue to have to warn against the bad actors on the internet that use these tragedies for their own benefit. For KnowBe4 customers, we have a few templates with this topic in the Current Events. It's a good idea to send one to your users this week.
