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.

[…] Two industry sources said they believed Paragon was trying to set itself apart further by promising to get access to the instant messaging applications on a device, rather than taking complete control of everything on a phone. One of the sources said they understood that Paragon’s spyware exploits the protocols of end-to-end encrypted apps, meaning it would hack into messages via vulnerabilities in the core ways in which the software operates... | Hack | ||

2021-07-29 16:20:54 | The Life Cycle of a Breached Database (lien direct) | Every time there is another data breach, we are asked to change our password at the breached entity. But the reality is that in most cases by the time the victim organization discloses an incident publicly the information has already been harvested many times over by profit-seeking cybercriminals. Here's a closer look at what typically transpires in the weeks or months before an organization notifies its users about a breached database. Our continued reliance on passwords for authentication has contributed to one toxic data spill or hack after another. One might even say passwords are the fossil fuels powering most IT modernization: They're ubiquitous because they are cheap and easy to use, but that means they also come with significant trade-offs -- such as polluting the Internet with weaponized data when they're leaked or stolen en masse. | Hack | ||

2021-07-29 14:55:00 | The COVID-19 Pandemic Changed Everything, Can You Detect the New Normal? (lien direct) | COVID-19 changed our personal and business lives in ways we never imagined, especially on the technology front. Consumers started using online services at monumental rates, as evidenced by explosive growth across Amazon, Netflix, and on-demand delivery apps. Businesses accelerated the pace of digital transformation with never-before seen speeds, reflected in the meteoric rise of video conferencing, remote work, and cloud growth. Governments increased their use of websites and social media to keep citizens updated on the latest developments in the pandemic and to assist with scheduling appointments for tests and vaccines.
Cyber adversaries certainly didn’t overlook the pandemic as an opportunity. This isn’t just speculation. Since March 2020, Anomali Threat Research has tracked pandemic-related malicious cyber activities, which to date include thousands of indicators of compromise (IOCs), numerous distinct campaigns associated with multiple threat actors, dozens of different malware families, and many various MITRE ATT&CK techniques in use.
Some parts of the world are starting to rebound from the pandemic’s impact, but while there is still uncertainty around when we will fully recover, it’s a sure-fire bet that a more cloud-dependent future will be part of our new “normal.” Public and private sector organizations that want to succeed not only have to innovate to fulfill consumer and business demands for digital products and services, but also how to defend them against adversaries that are increasingly sophisticated and stealthy.
Much of the development problem has been solved, with providers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google providing the foundation for cloud applications and services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud. Global organizations have even, in many cases, built their own private cloud platforms that can easily and rapidly deploy innovations to any connected endpoint. Unfortunately, cybersecurity hasn’t kept pace. It’s no wonder we are experiencing ransomware attacks like the one that hit the Colonial Pipeline, and breaches as unprecedented as SolarWinds.
Recently, we worked with The Harris Poll to ask more than 2,000 American and 1,000 British adults over 18 how they feel about the possibility of using COVID-19 digital vaccine cards, should they become required for participating in activities like traveling, attending sporting events, in-person school participation, entering a store or government building, etc. Our initial goal was to understand more deeply what both groups’ hopes and fears are when it comes to using smartphone applications to get on with normal life. While we learned a lot about individuals’ attitudes, we also gleaned a few insights that organizations attempting to understand the new digital normal should consider.
The Exploding Attack Surface
The survey revealed that almost all adults in the US (93%) and the UK (89%) have smartphones capable of supporting digital vaccination cards, ranging across almost all popular operating systems. While this is great news for anyone who supports the use of digital health verification solutions, it also serves as a warning. With almost all adults in these populations so interconnected, the likely overlap of their private and business digital lives presents threat actors with a large attack surface for compromising both users and their employers. Organizations that want to leverage the digital future should be happy to hear about how easy it is to reach consumers and connect employees. They also need to prepare to mitigate the associated increased threat this presents.
