The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Application programming interface (API) security is critical for retailers increasingly reliant on cloud technology. However, they also open potential gateways for cyber threats, making robust security protocols essential to protect sensitive data and maintain customer trust. The complexity of retail systems, which often involve numerous third-party integrations, can create multiple points of vulnerability. Evolving cyber threats necessitate a dynamic approach to API security, making it a moving target that requires continuous attention and adaptation. Understanding the retail cloud environment API is a set of protocols and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. In cloud environments, it facilitates the interaction between cloud services and applications, enabling features — like data synchronization, payment processing and inventory management — to work seamlessly together. It is also pivotal in the retail sector by connecting various services and applications to deliver a smooth shopping experience. If organizations neglect API security, cybercriminals can exploit APIs to access confidential information, leading to a loss of customer trust, which is critical in the highly competitive retail market. Regular API audits and assessments These audits help identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them, ensuring organizations can promptly address security gaps. Regular assessments are also proactive measures to fix current issues and anticipate future threats. They enable IT teams to verify that security measures are current with the latest protection standards and to confirm APIs comply with internal policies and external regulations. By routinely evaluating API security, retailers can detect anomalies, manage access controls effectively and guarantee they consistently apply encryption standards. Robust authentication and authorization They verify the identity of users and systems, ensuring only legitimate parties can access sensitive retail data. Utilizing multi-factor authentication, which requires more than one verification method, significantly enhances security by adding layers that an unauthorized user must penetrate. With authorization, it’s crucial to implement protocols that dictate what authenticated users can do. Effective approval guarantees users have access only to the data and actions necessary for their role. For instance, role-based access control can help manage user permissions with greater granularity. Retailers can assign roles and permissions based on job functions, enabling tight control over who is authorized to view or alter data within the API ecosystem. Encryption and data protection Encryption is an essential barrier, obscuring data to make it indecipherable to unauthorized users who might intercept it during transmission or gain access to storage systems. It’s also critical for retailers to manage encryption keys with strict policies, ensuring only authorized personnel can decrypt the data. Beyond protection, comprehensive data encryption allows retailers, especially in the apparel industry, to collect and analyze extensive customer data safely. This data is invaluable for forecasting trends, customer pre | Tool Vulnerability Threat Cloud | ★★★ | |

#### Description
Les chercheurs de réversion desBabs ont découvert deux packages malveillants sur le gestionnaire de packages Open Source NPM qui exploite Github pour stocker des clés SSH cryptées Base64 volées retirées des systèmes de développeurs qui ont installé les packages NPM malveillants.
Les forfaits, Warbeast2000 et Kodiak2K, ont été identifiés en janvier et ont depuis été retirés du NPM.Le package Warbeast2000 a été téléchargé un peu moins de 400 fois, tandis que le Kodiak2k a été téléchargé environ 950 fois.Les acteurs malveillants derrière les packages ont utilisé Github pour stocker les informations volées.
Le package Warbeast2000 ne contenait que quelques composants et était toujours en cours de développement lors de sa détection.Le package lancerait un script PostInstall qui a récupéré et exécuté un fichier JavaScript.Ce script malveillant en deuxième étape a lu la clé SSH privée stockée dans le fichier id_rsa situé dans le répertoire /.ssh.Il a ensuite téléchargé la clé codée Base64 à un référentiel GitHub contrôlé par l'attaquant.Le package Kodiak2K avait plus de 30 versions différentes et, à part les premiers, tous étaient malveillants.Le package a également exécuté un script trouvé dans un projet GitHub archivé contenant le cadre Empire Post-Exploitation.Le script invoque également l'outil de piratage Mimikatz, qui est couramment utilisé pour vider les informations d'identification à partir de la mémoire du processus.

#### Description ReversingLabs researchers have discovered two malicious packages on the npm open source package manager that leverages GitHub to store stolen Base64-encrypted SSH keys lifted from developer systems that installed the malicious npm packages. The packages, warbeast2000 and kodiak2k, were identified in January and have since been removed from npm. The warbeast2000 package was downloaded a little less than 400 times, whereas the kodiak2k was downloaded around 950 times. The malicious actors behind the packages used GitHub to store the stolen information. The warbeast2000 package contained just a few components and was still under development when it was detected. The package would launch a postinstall script that fetched and executed a javascript file. This second stage malicious script read the private ssh key stored in the id_rsa file located in the /.ssh directory. It then uploaded the Base64 encoded key to an attacker-controlled GitHub repository. The kodiak2k package had more than 30 different versions and, apart from the first few, all of them were malicious. The package also executed a script found in an archived GitHub project containing the Empire post-exploitation framework. The script also invokes the Mimikatz hacking tool, which is commonly used to dump credentials from process memory. #### Reference URL(s) 1. https://www.reversinglabs.com/blog/gitgot-cybercriminals-using-github-to-store-stolen-data #### Publication Date January 23, 2024 #### Author(s) Lucija Valentić |

2024-01-29 14:42:02 | Informations exploitables: protégez vos identités vulnérables Actionable Insights: Protect Your Vulnerable Identities (lien direct) |
In this blog series, we cover how to improve your company\'s security posture with actionable insights. Actionable insights are a critical tool to help you improve your security posture and stop initial compromise in the attack chain. You can use them to identify and respond to potential risks, enhance your incident response capabilities and make more informed security decisions. Figure 1. Steps in the cyberattack chain. In previous actionable insights blog posts, we covered these topics: People risk Origin risk Business email compromise (BEC) risk Ensuring proper risk context Risk efficacy Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD) risk Threat intelligence Executive Summary Condemnation Summary In this post, we show you the value of integrating data from Proofpoint Identity Threat Defense into the Proofpoint Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) Dashboard. You can now use this data about your identity risks to stop initial compromise and prevent the lateral movement of threats in your environment. Get insights about your vulnerable identities IT and security professionals are always looking for ways to stay ahead of evolving threats and protect their organizations. The TAP Dashboard from Proofpoint has long been a valuable tool in this fight. It provides crucial visibility into email threats and user activity. Now that the TAP Dashboard uses data from Proofpoint Identity Threat Defense, it has become even more powerful. Rich data about identity risks can help you see the impact of a potential compromise without having to leave the TAP Dashboard. Let\'s explore what this looks like in the dashboard-and how you can use this identity data to strengthen your security posture. Insights for supercharged visibility One new addition to the People page in the TAP Dashboard is the Identity Threat Attack Paths column. It reveals the currently available attack paths for each user, which are based on their identified vulnerabilities. No more digging through separate tools. You can now have a clear picture within the TAP Dashboard of how a threat actor could use each identity to escalate privilege and move laterally. Figure 2. Identity Threat Attack Paths column in the TAP Dashboard. You can also view identity risk factors for each user. This allows you to gain a deeper understanding of the potential impact of compromise for each user. The metrics you can view include: Overall risk exposure Number of potential attack paths associated with the user Key identity vulnerabilities associated with the user Figure 3. Identity risk factors for individual users. This data can help you to prioritize your response efforts. You can use it to better focus on securing the identities that might be used to cause the most harm to your business. Example use case Take this example of a hypothetical user named Dona Hosby, a 47-year-old finance director. She has access to client accounts and sensitive financial data. Despite her crucial role in the business, Hosby tends to be less cautious about clicking on suspicious email links and attachments. From the TAP Dashboard, Hosby is identified as a Very Attacked Person™ (VAP) with a high attack index. However, this risk level is not unique to her; others in the company share similar risk levels. With data enrichment from Proofpoint Identity Threat Defense, the TAP Dashboard shows that Hosby is also a shadow admin, which exposes her to critical risks. A shadow admin is an individual or account that has elevated privileges or access rights that are not in compliance with the company\'s security policies. We can also see the number of lateral attack paths (41) an attacker could take from Hosby\'s identity. This information can help the security team to pinpoint which VAPs in the organization pose a higher post-compromise risk. Figures 4 and 5 show what these insights look like in the TAP Dashboard.

The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Challenges A larger auto dealership in the northeast faced a number of cybersecurity challenges, including: Lack of resources: The dealership did not have the in-house expertise or resources to manage its own security operations center (SOC). The lack of trained security experts resulted in slower responses times to security incidents. Multiple security solutions: The dealership was using a variety of security solutions from different vendors, making it difficult to manage and correlate security data. Increased threat landscape: The dealership was facing an increasing number of cyber threats, including ransomware, phishing, and malware attacks. Solution The dealership engaged Vertek to implement their top of line Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service using AT&T AlienVault SIEM. Vertek\'s USM Anywhere MDR service provides 24/7 proactive threat monitoring, industry leading threat intelligence, and expert incident response. It is built on top of the AlienVault USM Anywhere platform, which is a unified security management (USM) platform that combines multiple essential security capabilities in one unified console. The service easily integrates with the existing security stack and is implemented without interruption to existing operations. Benefits Since implementing Vertek\'s USM Anywhere MDR service the dealership has experienced a number of benefits, including: Improved security posture: Vertek\'s MDR service has helped the dealership improve its overall security posture by identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities, and by providing the dealership with actionable security insights. Vertek’s 24/7 SOC identifies and responds to security incidents with speed and accuracy using industry leading threat intelligence. Reduced workload and more effective allocation of resources: Vertek\'s MDR service has reduced the workload on the dealership\'s IT staff by freeing them up to focus on mission critical tasks that fall in line with their core competency. Working with Vertek instead of building an in-house security team has resulted in significant cost savings for the dealership. Improved peace of mind: Vertek\'s MDR service gives the dealership peace of mind knowing that their security is being monitored and managed by a team of experts with expert response to threats. Specific example Vertek was actively monitoring a customer\'s network for threats using their USM Anywhere MDR service. AlienVault SIEM detected a large number of failed login attempts to the customer\'s Active Directory server. Vertek\'s security team immediately investigated the incident and discovered that the attacker was using a brute-force attack to try to guess the passwords of Active Directory users. Vertek\'s security team used context data in the form of network traffic, end-user behavior analytics, and NXLOGS output from their IT tools to understand the significance of the attack. They knew that the Active Directory server was a critical system for the customer, and that if the attacker was able to gain access to the server, they would be able to compromise the entire network. Vertek also used threat intelligence from the MITRE ATT&CK Framework to understand the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of the attacker. They knew that brute-force attacks were a common tactic used by ransomware gangs. Based on the context data and threat intelligence, Vertek was able to determine that the customer was facing a high-risk ransomware attack.

In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, 2023 witnessed a dramatic surge in the sophistication of cyber threats and malware. AT&T Cybersecurity Alien Labs reviewed the big events of 2023 and how malware morphed this year to try new ways to breach and wreak havoc. This year\'s events kept cybersecurity experts on their toes, from expanding malware variants to introducing new threat actors and attack techniques. Here are some of the most compelling developments, highlighting malware\'s evolving capabilities and the challenges defenders face. Highlights of the year: Emerging trends and notable incidents As the year unfolded, several trends and incidents left an indelible mark on the cybersecurity landscape: Exploiting OneNote for malicious payloads Cybercriminals leveraged Microsoft OneNote to deliver many malicious payloads to victims, including Redline, AgentTesla, Quasar RAT, and others. This previously underutilized Office program became a favored tool due to its low suspicion and widespread usage. SEO poisoning and Google Ads Malicious actors resorted to SEO poisoning tactics, deploying phishing links through Google Ads to deceive unsuspecting victims. These links led to cloned, benign web pages, avoiding Google\'s detection and remaining active for extended periods. Prominent malware families, including Raccoon Stealer and IcedID, capitalized on this strategy. Exploiting geopolitical events Cybercriminals exploited the geopolitical climate, particularly the Middle East conflict, as a lure for their attacks. This trend mirrored the previous year\'s Ukraine-related phishing campaigns and crypto scams. APTs: State-sponsored espionage continues to present challenges Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) continued to pose a significant threat in 2023: Snake: CISA reported on the Snake APT, an advanced cyber-espionage tool associated with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). This malware had been in use for nearly two decades. Volt Typhoon: A campaign targeting critical infrastructure organizations in the United States was attributed to Volt Typhoon, a state-sponsored actor based in China. Their focus lay on espionage and information gathering. Storm-0558: This highly sophisticated intrusion campaign, orchestrated by the Storm-0558 APT from China, infiltrated the email accounts of approximately 25 organizations, including government agencies. Ransomware\'s relentless rise Ransomware remained a prevalent and lucrative threat throughout the year: Cuba and Snatch: Ransomware groups like Cuba and Snatch targeted critical infrastructure in the United States, causing concern for national security. ALPHV/BlackCat: Beyond SEO poisoning, this group compromised the computer systems of Caesar and MGM casinos. They also resorted to filing complaints with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against their victims, applying additional pressure to pay ransoms. Exploiting new vulnerabilities: Cybercriminals wasted no time exploiting newly discovered vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2023-22518 in Atlassian\'s Confluence, CVE-2023-4966 (Citrix bleed), and others. These vulnerabilities became gateways for ransomware attacks. Evolving ransom | Ransomware Spam Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Prediction | Guam | ★★★ |

2024-01-24 06:00:39 | 5 Common Privilege Escalation Attack Techniques with Examples (lien direct) | Privilege escalation is often a top aim for cybercriminals as they traverse the attack chain to exploit your IT crown jewels. It lets them achieve critical steps in the attack chain, like maintaining persistence and moving laterally within an environment. Once they\'ve initially compromised a host, they will seek to acquire higher privileges to gain access to valuable assets and create other mischief or damage. This blog post explains why privilege escalation is a significant challenge for today\'s businesses. We also present five common techniques, along with brief examples of each. And we offer a real-world example to underscore how bad actors use privilege escalation as a key intermediary step to carry out attacks. Understanding privilege escalation In cybersecurity, privilege escalation is the process by which an attacker gains access or permissions on a system that is at a higher level of privilege than what they had at the time of the initial compromise. Attackers look to escalate privileges in one of two ways. They either do this horizontally or vertically. Horizontal example This approach involves an attacker moving laterally within a network by compromising accounts at the same privilege level. As they move across the network, they can discover more targets and find more valuable data or systems. Here\'s an example of how a horizontal privilege escalation attack might unfold: An attacker uses stolen credentials to access a host with regular privileges within a company\'s network. The attacker identifies a file server within the network that has sensitive data. Multiple users can access it, but they can only read and write files. The attacker takes advantage of this shared access. They modify files within the shared file system, injecting malicious code or replacing critical configuration files. This activity may go unnoticed for a time because legitimate users regularly modify files on the shared file server. As other users interact with the compromised files, the attacker can increase the number of compromised accounts and hosts, collect sensitive data and prepare to launch a more widescale attack. Vertical example In this approach, attackers exploit identity vulnerabilities within a system or application to escalate their privileges from a basic user account to a privileged user. They might use social engineering tactics like phishing at first to trick users into handing over their login credentials. Here is how a vertical privilege escalation attack might play out: An attacker uses a compromised user account to gain access to a targeted system. They identify a known vulnerability in an application or service that is running on the system. The attacker creates and deploys an exploit to take advantage of this vulnerability. In this case, they take advantage of a flaw in the code that allows a user to escalate privileges without being authorized. The attacker can now change their privileges to a higher level, like system admin. Now that they have a lot of control over the system, the attacker can carry out a range of malicious actions. For example, they might change system configurations or steal data. Why it is important to prevent privilege escalation attacks The examples above make it clear that privilege escalation-enabled attacks can have a significant impact on businesses. To underscore the risk further, here are several other reasons these attacks are a cause for concern: Unauthorized access to and exposure of sensitive data Compromised user accounts and user identities Manipulated systems and configurations Disrupted business operations Data tampering and manipulation, such as with ransomware Legal and regulatory repercussions Reputational damage 5 Common privilege escalation attack techniques and examples Now that you understand the two main categories of privilege escalation and why you must be vigilant in defending against these techniques, let\'s look at five tactics that bad actors might use in | Tool Vulnerability Threat Commercial | ★★★ | |

Le courrier électronique reste le principal canal de communication pour les organisations et les moyens de communication préférés pour les consommateurs.Et partout où les gens vont, les acteurs de la menace suivent.Les cybercriminels continuent d'exploiter les e-mails pour livrer le phishing, la fraude par e-mail, le spam et d'autres escroqueries.Mais Google, Yahoo!, Et Apple se battent avec de nouvelles exigences d'authentification par e-mail conçues pour empêcher les acteurs de la menace d'abuser des e-mails.Bien que ce changement majeur soit une excellente nouvelle pour les consommateurs, les organisations n'ont pas beaucoup de temps pour préparer le google, Yahoo!Et Apple commencera à appliquer ses nouvelles exigences au premier trimestre de 2024. Avec seulement des semaines jusqu'à ce que ces règles commencent à prendre effet, plus d'un quart (27%) des Forbes Global 2000 ne sont pas prêts pour ces nouvelles exigences;Cela peut avoir un impact significatif sur leur capacité à fournir des communications par e-mail à leurs clients en temps opportun et met leurs clients en danger de fraude par e-mail et d'escroqueries.En fait, notre rapport State of the Phish 2023 a révélé que 44% des consommateurs mondiaux pensent qu'un e-mail est sûr s'il inclut simplement l'image de marque familière.

L'authentification par e-mail est une meilleure pratique depuis des années.DMARC est l'étalon-or pour se protéger contre l'identité des e-mails, une technique clé utilisée dans la fraude par e-mail et les attaques de phishing.Mais, comme le révèle notre analyse du Global 2000, de nombreuses entreprises doivent encore la mettre en œuvre, et celles qui sont à la traîne de l'adoption du DMARC devront désormais rattraper leur retard rapidement s'ils souhaitent continuer à envoyer des e-mails à leurs clients.Les organisations qui ne se contentent pas ne pourraient pas voir leurs e-mails acheminés directement vers les dossiers de spam des clients ou rejeté.

2024-01-23 12:51:12 | Le paysage des menaces est toujours en train de changer: à quoi s'attendre en 2024 The Threat Landscape Is Always Changing: What to Expect in 2024 (lien direct) |
Gather \'round, cyber friends, and I\'ll let you in on a little secret: no one knows what the Next Big Thing on the threat landscape will be. But we can look back on 2023, identify notable changes and actor behaviors, and make educated assessments about what 2024 will bring. This month on the DISCARDED podcast my co-host Crista Giering and I sat down with our Threat Research leaders Daniel Blackford, Alexis Dorais-Joncas, Randy Pargman, and Rich Gonzalez, leaders of the ecrime, advanced persistent threat (APT), threat detection, and Emerging Threats teams, respectively. We discussed what we learned over the last year, and what\'s on the horizon for the future. While the discussions touched on different topics and featured different opinions on everything from artificial intelligence (AI) to living off the land binaries (LOLBins) to vulnerability exploitation to ransomware, there were some notable themes that are worth writing down. We can\'t say for sure what surprises are in store, but with our cyber crystals balls fully charged – and a deep knowledge of a year\'s worth of threat actor activity based on millions of email threats per day – we can predict with high confidence what\'s going to be impactful in the coming year. 1: Quick response (QR) codes will continue to proliferate 2023 was the year of the QR code. Although not new, QR codes burst on the scene over the last year and were used in many credential phishing and malware campaigns. The use was driven by a confluence of factors, but ultimately boiled down to the fact that people are now way more accustomed to scanning QR codes for everything from instructions to menus. And threat actors are taking advantage. Proofpoint recently launched new in-line sandboxing capabilities to better defend against this threat, and our teams anticipate seeing more of it in 2024. Notably, however, Dorais-Joncas points out that QR codes still just exist in the realm of ecrime – APT actors have not yet jumped on the QR code bandwagon. (Although, some of those APT actors bring ecrime energy to their campaigns, so it\'s possible they may start QR code phishing, too.) 2: Zero-day and N-day vulnerability exploitation A theme that appeared throughout our conversations was the creative use of vulnerabilities – both known and unreported – in threat actor activity. APT actors used a wide variety of exploits, from TA473 exploiting publicly-facing webmail servers to espionage actors using a zero-day in an email security gateway appliance that ultimately forced users to rip out and reinstall physical hardware. But ecrime actors also exploited their share of vulnerabilities, including the MOVEit file transfer service vulnerability from the spring of 2023 that had cascading repercussions, and the ScreenConnect flaw announced in the fall of 2023 – both of which were used by ecrime actors before being officially published. Proofpoint anticipates vulnerability exploitation will continue, driven in part by improved defense making old school techniques – like macro-enabled documents – much less useful, as well as the vast financial resources now available to cybercriminals that were once just the domain of APT. Pargman says the creativity from ecrime threat actors is a direct response of defenders imposing cost on our adversaries. 3: Continuing, unexpected behavior changes Avid listeners of the podcast know I have regularly said the ecrime landscape is extremely chaotic, with TA577 demonstrating the most chaotic vibes of them all. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of some of the most sophisticated actors continue to change. The cost imposed on threat actors that Pargman mentioned – from law enforcement takedowns of massive botnets like Qbot to improved detections and automated defenses – have forced threat actors, cybercriminals in particular, to regularly change their behaviors to figure out what is most effective. For example, recently Proofpoint has observed the increased use of: traffic dis | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Prediction | ★★★ | |

2024-01-22 11:00:00 | Meilleures pratiques pour mettre en œuvre l'auto-doxxing dans les organisations Best practices to implement self-doxxing in organizations (lien direct) |
The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Organizations face a constant challenge to balance transparency and security in today\'s rapidly evolving digital landscape. One emerging concept that has gained traction in recent years is the practice of "self-doxxing." This seemingly counterintuitive term refers to the deliberate and controlled sharing of an organization\'s information, often sensitive, to enhance transparency, accountability, and trust. While it might sound paradoxical to disclose information that could be exploited by malicious actors voluntarily, the strategic implementation of self-doxing can indeed be a powerful tool in an organization\'s arsenal. What does it mean by self-doxxing? Self-doxing, short for "self-documenting," is a proactive approach where organizations voluntarily share information about themselves, their operations, and their practices with the public, stakeholders, and competitors. This practice is in direct contrast to traditional security measures that aim to limit the exposure of sensitive data. Traditionally, data privacy measures rely on endpoint security tools such as VPNs, antivirus, password managers, etc, to ensure security. These tools help implement a zero-trust security module within an organization to ensure data privacy and security. In contrast to this traditional zero-trust security method, self-doxing is a strategic move to foster transparency, build trust, and engage with a broader audience. It\'s about taking control of the narrative surrounding your organization and providing the public with a clearer picture of who you are and what you stand for. By voluntarily sharing information, organizations aim to shape perceptions, demonstrate accountability, and minimize the potential for unauthorized leaks or misinformation. However, successful self-doxxing requires careful planning and a deep understanding of what to share and protect. Why should you implement self-doxxing in an organization? Self-doxing, when executed thoughtfully, offers many advantages for organizations looking to thrive in a digitally connected world. Enhanced transparency: One of the primary benefits of self-doxxing is the promotion of transparency. By willingly sharing information about your organization\'s operations, practices, and ethical standards, you signal stakeholders and the public that you have nothing to hide. This transparency can foster trust and credibility, making your organization more attractive to customers, investors, and partners. Reputation management: Self-doxxing allows you to control the narrative about your organization. By providing accurate and comprehensive information, you can preemptively address potential issues, correct misunderstandings, and mitigate reputational risks. This proactive approach to reputation management can be invaluable in an age where public perception can impact an organization\'s success. Stakeholder engagement: Sharing information about your organization can also enhance stakeholder engagement, including customers, employees, and shareholders. When people feel that an organization is open and honest about its practices, they are more likely to engage positively with it. Competitive advantage: Self-doxxing can also provide a competitive edge. By openly sharing your organization\'s strengths, innovations, and accomplishments, you can demonstrate industry leadership and attract talent, partners, and customers who align with your values and goals.

Veracode is pleased to announce the availability of a new Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Plugin-Veracode Scan. Veracode Scan combines both Veracode Static Analysis (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) into a single plugin. This allows developers to quickly scan projects for security weaknesses and risks in both first-party code and third-party libraries. The Benefits of a Combined SAST and SCA Plugin Scanning projects with SCA and SAST is important to make sure that both the code and libraries are as safe as possible. Making these tools available natively in the IDE in a single plugin makes performing security checks both faster and easier to perform. Scanning code early in the software development process reduces both the cost of remediating flaws and the chances of flaws making it into production. How Veracode Scan Works Veracode Scan takes care of packaging and sending of artifacts to the Veracode static scanner, and then returns the results of scans… |

2024-01-18 11:00:00 | Quatre tendances de cybersécurité que vous devriez connaître pour 2024 Four cybersecurity trends you should know for 2024 (lien direct) |
This is part three of a three-part series written by AT&T Cybersecurity evangelist Theresa Lanowitz. It’s intended to be future-looking, provocative, and encourage discussion. The author wants to assure you that no generative AI was used in any part of this blog. Part one: Unusual, thought-provoking predictions for cybersecurity in 2024 Part two: Cybersecurity operations in 2024: The SOC of the future While there are many big things to prepare for in 2024 (see first two posts), some important smaller things don’t get the same attention. Yet, these things are good to know and probably won’t come as a huge surprise. Because they, too, are evolving, it’s important not to take your eye off the ball. Compliance creates a new code of conduct and a new need for compliance logic. Compliance and governance are often overlooked when developing software because a different part of the business typically owns those responsibilities. That is all about to change. Cybersecurity policies (internal and external, including new regulations) need to move upstream in the software development lifecycle and need compliance logic built in to simplify the process. Software is designed to work globally; however, the world is becoming more segmented and parsed. Regulations are being created at country, regional, and municipal levels. To be realistic, the only way to handle compliance is via automation. To avoid the constant forking of software, compliance logic will need to be a part of modern applications. Compliance logic will allow software to function globally but adjust based on code sets that address geographic locations and corresponding regulations. In 2024, expect compliance logic to become a part of the larger conversation regarding compliance, governance, regulation, and policy. This will require cross-functional collaboration across IT, security, legal, line of business, finance, and other organizational stakeholders. MFA gets physical. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a way of life. The benefits far outweigh the slight inconvenience imposed. Think about why MFA is so critical. MFA helps with authorization and authentication for mission-critical and safety-critical work. It prevents unauthorized access to critical information. MFA is an easy-to-implement step for good cyber hygiene. Our current way of thinking about MFA is generally based on three things: something you know, a passcode; something you have, a device; and something you are, a fingerprint, your face, etc. Now, let’s take this a step further and look at how the something you are part of MFA can improve safety. Today, MFA routinely accepts fingerprints, facial recognition, or retina scans. That’s just the beginning. MFA can go a step further in helping with business outcomes; here’s how. Biometric and behavioral MFA can help with identifying the veracity of an individual as well as the fitness to perform a function. For example, a surgeon can access the hospital, restricted areas, and the operating room through MFA verifications. But, once in the operating room, how is it determined that the surgeon is fit to perform the surgical task? Behavioral MFA will soon be in play to ensure the surgeon is fit by adding another layer of something you are. Behavioral MFA will determine fitness for a task by identifying things such as entering a series of numbers on a keypad, handwriting on a tablet, or voice analysis. The goal is to compare current behavior with past behavior to ensur | Tool Threat Prediction | ★★★ | |

2024-01-18 05:00:52 | Mémoire de sécurité: TA866 revient avec une grande campagne de messagerie Security Brief: TA866 Returns with a Large Email Campaign (lien direct) |
What happened Proofpoint researchers identified the return of TA866 to email threat campaign data, after a nine-month absence. On January 11, 2024, Proofpoint blocked a large volume campaign consisting of several thousand emails targeting North America. Invoice-themed emails had attached PDFs with names such as “Document_[10 digits].pdf” and various subjects such as “Project achievements”. The PDFs contained OneDrive URLs that, if clicked, initiated a multi-step infection chain eventually leading to the malware payload, a variant of the WasabiSeed and Screenshotter custom toolset. Screenshot of an email with an attached PDF. If the user clicked on the OneDrive URL inside the PDF, they were: Served a JavaScript file hosted on OneDrive. The JavaScript, if run by the user, downloaded and ran an MSI file. The MSI file executed an embedded WasabiSeed VBS script. The WasabiSeed VBS script then downloaded and executed a second MSI file as well as continued polling for additional payloads in a loop. The additional payloads are currently unknown. Finally, the second MSI file contained components of the Screenshotter screenshot utility which took a screenshot of the desktop and sent it the C2. Attack chain summary: Email > PDF > OneDrive URL > JavaScript > MSI / VBS (WasabiSeed) > MSI (Screenshotter). The attack chain was similar to the last documented email campaign using this custom toolset observed by Proofpoint on March 20, 2023. The similarities helped with attribution. Specifically, TA571 spam service was similarly used, the WasabiSeed downloader remained almost the same, and the Screenshotter scripts and components remained almost the same. (Analyst Note: While Proofpoint did not initially associate the delivery TTPs with TA571 in our first publication on TA866, subsequent analysis attributed the malspam delivery of the 2023 campaigns to TA571, and subsequent post-exploitation activity to TA866.) One of the biggest changes in this campaign from the last observed activity was the use of a PDF attachment containing a OneDrive link, which was completely new. Previous campaigns used macro-enabled Publisher attachments or 404 TDS URLs directly in the email body. Screenshot of “TermServ.vbs” WasabiSeed script whose purpose is to execute an infinite loop, reaching out to C2 server and attempting to download and run an MSI file (empty lines were removed from this script for readability). Screenshot of “app.js”, one of the components of Screenshotter. This file runs “snap.exe”, a copy of legitimate IrfanView executable, (also included inside the MSI) to save a desktop screenshot as “gs.jpg”. Screenshot of “index.js”, another Screenshotter component. This code is responsible for uploading the desktop screenshot ”gs.jpg” to the C2 server. Attribution There are two threat actors involved in the observed campaign. Proofpoint tracks the distribution service used to deliver the malicious PDF as belonging to a threat actor known as TA571. TA571 is a spam distributor, and this actor sends high volume spam email campaigns to deliver and install a variety malware for their cybercriminal customers. Proofpoint tracks the post-exploitation tools, specifically the JavaScript, MSI with WasabiSeed components, and MSI with Screenshotter components as belonging to TA866. TA866 is a threat actor previously documented by Proofpoint and colleagues in [1][2] and [3]. TA866 is known to engage in both crimeware and cyberespionage activity. This specific campaign appears financially motivated. Proofpoint assesses that TA866 is an organized actor able to perform well thought-out attacks at scale based on their availability of custom tools, and ability and connections to purchase tools and services from other actors. Why it matters The following are notable characteristics of TA866\'s return to email threat data: TA866 email campaigns have been missing from the landscape for over nine months (although there are indications that the actor was meanwhile | Spam Malware Tool Threat | ★★ |
