2024-04-08 16:24:08 | Évolution du paysage des menaces: une plongée profonde dans les attaques multicanaux ciblant les détaillants Evolving Threat Landscape: A Deep Dive into Multichannel Attacks Targeting Retailers (lien direct) |
Les acteurs de la menace ne fonctionnent plus dans les silos.Aujourd'hui, ils utilisent plusieurs canaux tels que SMS, e-mail, fausses pages Web et comptes cloud compromis.Ils utilisent ces différents canaux pour établir la persistance et compromettre les identités afin qu'ils puissent augmenter les privilèges et se déplacer latéralement. ProofPoint Research Threat a récemment observé des campagnes dans lesquelles les acteurs de la menace ont utilisé des attaques multicanaux pour cibler l'industrie du commerce de détail.La chaîne d'attaque et la chronologie montrent comment les acteurs de la menace (TA) passent d'une organisation ciblée à l'autre.Chaque fois que leur accès non autorisé est révoqué ou épuisé, les attaquants passent à la prochaine cible. La chaîne d'attaque multicanal qui cible les détaillants mondiaux. Dans nos recherches, ces campagnes commencent par une attaque de smims.Une attaque de smims, également connue sous le nom de phishing SMS, utilise des SMS pour inciter les destinataires à faire ce que l'attaquant veut qu'ils fassent.Cela pourrait fournir leurs informations personnelles ou financières, en cliquant sur des liens malveillants ou en téléchargeant des applications logicielles nocives.Les messages de smirs utilisent des thèmes de billets de support courts pour attirer les victimes des sites de phishing de l'acteur de menace. Exemples de messages de phishing SMS avec des thèmes de billets de support. Dans la campagne que nous avons observée, l'AT a utilisé une page de phishing Microsoft personnalisée qui comprenait la marque de l'organisation ciblée \\.Cette page a conduit les utilisateurs via le flux d'autorisation MFA pour collecter leurs informations d'identification. Exemple de page Microsoft Phish personnalisée avec la marque Target Organisation \\. Une fois que l'AT a capturé les informations d'identification, ils ont compromis les comptes d'utilisateurs.Takever post-compte (ATO), les attaquants ont utilisé plusieurs méthodes pour maintenir un accès persistant et masquer leurs activités non autorisées.Ceux-ci inclus: Manipulation MFA.Les attaquants ont utilisé des comptes détournés pour enregistrer leurs propres méthodes MFA. Inscription de nouveaux appareils via des applications Microsoft natives (telles que l'inscription Intune).Cela a aidé les attaquants à cacher leurs activités non autorisées et à accéder à certaines ressources. Utilisation malveillante du VPN d'entreprise.Le TA a utilisé les produits VPN et ZTNA de la victime et plusieurs de leurs propres clients VPN pour accéder à des ressources telles que les produits de sécurité et les environnements de production. Les attaquants ont eu accès au portail SSO de l'organisation, qui à son tour a donné accès à de nombreux autres services internes et applications tierces (3PA).Les attaquants ont énuméré toutes les applications connectées au PDI et ont tenté de trouver des liens API qu'ils pourraient abuser.Ensuite, ils sont entrés dans une application commerciale spécifique pour créer des cartes-cadeaux contrefaits. Attribution L'acteur de menace de cette attaque est appelé "atlas lion" qui a des zones potentielles de chevauchement avec l'acteur Microsoft Tracks sous le nom de Storm-0539.Cet acteur de menace est «connu pour cibler les organisations de vente au détail pour la fraude et le vol de cartes-cadeaux en utilisant des e-mails et un phishing SMS très sophistiqués pendant la saison des achats des fêtes».Bien que ces attaques ne soient pas originaires de courriels, leur chevauchement dans les TTP (tactiques, techniques et procédures) nous amène à croire que l'ensemble d'activités peut s'aligner sur l'acteur de menace que nous suivons en tant que TA4901.Cet TA cible les sociétés dans les secteurs de télécommunications et de vente au détail depuis au moins 2018.

Email is the primary threat vector for cybersecurity threats. And these days, many malware, phishing and social engineering schemes target your people. The 2023 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report notes that 74% of all data breaches include a human element. Threats are constantly evolving, too. It doesn\'t matter how sophisticated or complex your business is, it is a daunting task to protect your people from modern threats. At Proofpoint, we understand how critical it is for any business to protect its people from today\'s email threats. That\'s why we innovate every day. Recently, the industry has once again recognized our efforts to help our customers protect their people and their businesses. This time, our email security was recognized by major industry analyst firm KuppingerCole. Here is what they said about Proofpoint Threat Protection-and what makes it stand out from the competition. Proofpoint named an Overall Leader KuppingerCole just named Proofpoint an Overall Leader in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Email Security Report, 2023. This is the third time in the past year that our email security has been named a leader by a major industry analyst firm. This recognition “triple crown” is the direct result of our commitment to helping businesses protect their people from modern email threats and change user behavior for the better. It keeps us innovating year after year. In the report from KuppingerCole, Proofpoint Threat Protection received the highest “strong positive” rating in all categories, including: Security Functionality Deployment Interoperability Usability With its ratings, KuppingerCole positioned Proofpoint as a leader in all evaluation categories, including product, technology, innovation and market. KuppingerCole named Proofpoint a leader in the product, technology, innovation and market categories. What makes Proofpoint stand out Here is a closer look at how we can help you protect your people from advanced email threats. Stop the widest variety of threats with accuracy Proofpoint uses a multilayered detection stack to identify a wide array of email threats with accuracy. Because we have a broad set of detection technology, we can apply the right technique to the right threat. For example, we have robust sandbox technology to detect URL-based threats, like quick response codes (QR Codes) and behavioral analysis for business email compromise (BEC) and telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD) threats. Our machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) models are trained by our experts using one of the richest sets of data in the industry. This ensures we provide superior accuracy. Every year, we analyze more than 3 trillion messages across our 230,000+ customer, global ecosystem. Our modular detection stack enables agility and speed to adapt to changes in the threat landscape. It allows us to quickly deploy new models to address new threats like BEC, TOAD and QR Codes. And it enables us to tune our existing detection models more frequently. Prevent email threats before they reach your people\'s inboxes Predelivery detection from Proofpoint stops known and emerging threats at the front door of your business-not after they are delivered. Proofpoint threat intelligence and research found that nearly 1 in 7 malicious URL clicks happen within one minute of an email\'s arrival. That\'s why predelivery protection is so critical. If a threat ends up in your users\' inboxes, it increases your risk of a cyberattack or data breach. We analyze all messages, links and attachments with our robust detection stack before they can reach an inbox. This analysis, combined with our predelivery sandboxing and behavioral analysis of suspicious QR codes, allows us to stop malicious messages before they become a risk to your business.

2023-12-18 06:00:21 | Une approche de risque intégrée pour briser la chaîne d'attaque juridique et de conformité: les informations de Proofpoint Protect 2023 An Integrated Risk Approach to Breaking the Legal and Compliance Attack Chain: Insights from Proofpoint Protect 2023 (lien direct) |
Last September, Proofpoint held our first in-person event since the pandemic in New York City, Protect 2023. In this blog post, our Chief Compliance Officer in Residence John Pepe shares some key insights from the leaders who participated in the Compliance Leader\'s Roundtable at that conference. A big part of that discussion was exploring how combining data points from multiple tools can help stop known risk patterns before problems escalate. “Break the Attack Chain” is a Proofpoint initiative that outlines our approach to prevent and disrupt cyberattacks that target people and their data. The attack chain can basically be broken down into eight steps and three main stages: Initial compromise Privilege escalation Data exfiltration Steps in the attack chain. We believe that breaking the attack chain is so important that we made it the theme of Protect 2023. When you break the attack chain, you reduce the risks and the impact of cyberattacks. And you avoid a lot of the financial, reputational and operational damage. Proofpoint argues that this starts by taking a people-centric approach to security that focuses on the human factors that enable and motivate attackers. But this theme isn\'t just relevant to cybersecurity. It\'s also an important concept that\'s relevant to compliance professionals and their current challenges. Recently at the Protect 2023 conference, we explored how the industry is using this idea to rethink the ways it approaches and mitigates risk. What\'s top of mind for compliance professionals right now? Part of my job at Proofpoint is to provide our customers-some of whom are highly regulated-with executive briefings on compliance and regulatory best practices. I also have a lot of critical discussions with the legal and regulatory communities. So I understand why the concept of breaking the attack chain transcends cybersecurity and really resonates with these groups. That\'s why I chose to explore it at Protect 2023 at the Compliance Leader\'s Roundtable. This panel was comprised of a chief compliance officer from a leading financial services provider, the head of surveillance for an asset manager, and a chief information security officer. And our topic was “What\'s Top of Mind for Compliance Professionals Post COVID-19." The discussion was informal and focused on work-from-home (WFH) initiatives during and after the pandemic. Two interconnected areas were of particular interest: Risks and programs related to WFH, with a special focus on collaboration platforms How behavioral indicators may help to predict potential legal or compliance issues When talking about insider risks and threats, the panelists explored: Best practices for controlling messaging apps and mitigating risks in mobile texts and chat How behavioral modeling and analytics can be used to enhance risk monitoring for user conduct How combining multiple compliance approaches can help form a holistic risk management program, which can mean integrating: Threat detection People analytics Conduct compliance applications As part of the conversation, I brought up the topic of employee behaviors and patterns that can lead to legal or compliance issues. The example scenario I offered was of a disgruntled employee who had received an underwhelming bonus or was passed up for a promotion. To get back at the company, this person stole sensitive company data and intellectual property (IP) before they left their job. The panel discussed behaviors or telemetry that might be present in such a scenario. And they talked about whether any data about user conduct might help detect and prevent potential losses. An integrated approach to breaking the attack chain What follows are some of the ways that our panelists use tools to mitigate risks. And how Proofpoint can help. Combining internal and external data One of the most crucial aspects of a surveillance analyst\'s job, especially in financial services, is monitoring employee risk.

2023-12-14 09:00:56 | La détection de code QR malveillant fait un bond en avant géant Malicious QR Code Detection Takes a Giant Leap Forward (lien direct) |
Proofpoint introduces inline, pre-delivery QR code detection engine to help protect against imaged-based QR code phishing attacks QR code phishing, also known as quishing, is the latest attack hitting inboxes. This emerging threat is able to get around traditional email defenses and is forging a new way to deliver email attacks directly to users. Along with email phishing, executive impersonation, spear phishing and business email compromise (BEC), this threat has become one of the top concerns for security and IT teams. In response, Proofpoint has launched new inline sandboxing capabilities to detect and stop suspicious QR code threats. Not only do we support behavioral and sandbox detection engines, but we also provide pre- and post-scanning for risky QR codes. When combined, these capabilities more accurately detect and better protect against this new threat vector. Most API-based email security tools rely on behavioral signals, which means they can only detect a suspicious QR code email after it has been delivered to the user\'s inbox. In contrast, Proofpoint stops attacks pre-delivery, so threats can never make it to users\' inboxes. In this blog post, we\'ll cover what you should know about QR code phishing and detection-and how Proofpoint can help. Why QR codes? When Microsoft disabled macros to prevent threat actors from exploiting them to deliver malware, threat actors started to test various new attack delivery techniques, such as QR codes. Used by marketers as a quick and easy way to connect with consumers and drive engagement, QR codes have become a part of our daily lives and are now used in retail stores, airline tickets, contactless menus and scan-to-pay, among many others. While it\'s common knowledge that standard QR codes can be used in malicious ways, a recent Scantrust QR code survey found that “over 80% of US-based QR code users said that they think QR codes are safe.” It\'s this inherent trust of QR codes that threat actors depend on. That and the fact that QR codes do not expose malicious URLs make them very hard detect with traditional email security tools. What is QR code phishing? A QR code scam is when a bad actor creates a QR code phishing campaign to trick a user into navigating to a malicious URL. This leads them to a malicious website that then harvests their credentials or downloads malware onto their device. These campaigns include payment scams, package scams, email scams and even donation scams during the holiday season. Because all QR codes look similar, users are easily fooled. Figure 1: How a QR scam typically works. Why are QR codes getting through? Legacy email security providers and most API-based email security tools have a very difficult time detecting these attacks. That\'s because these tools scan email messages for known malicious links-they don\'t scan images for links that are hidden inside QR code images. This attack method also creates a new security blind spot. QR codes are scanned by a separate device, like a smartphone, from where the email is delivered. And smartphones are less likely to have robust security protection, which is needed to detect and prevent these attacks. For this reason, it\'s essential that an email security tool detects and blocks QR code phishing emails before they reach users\' inboxes. When messages are scanned post-delivery, like with API-based tools, there\'s a chance that users will get to them first-before they\'re clawed back. Post-delivery-only detection risks Post-delivery-only email security tools claim to “detect and block” QR code phishing emails, but they simply cannot. While they may “detect” a suspicious QR code email, it\'s only after the threat has been delivered to the user\'s inbox. Moreover, these tools do not sandbox suspicious QR codes. This means they have a high miss rate-which creates more risk for your company. Besides creating more risk, they also create more work for your teams.

C'est la saison des achats, ce qui ne peut signifier qu'une chose: des dizaines de fausses messages de «livraison manqués» qui tentent de voler notre argent, nos données et nos identités.Mais il y a de bonnes nouvelles.Les données de preuve Point montrent que la croissance des smirs a ralenti au cours des 18 derniers mois dans de nombreuses régions, devenant une partie établie du paysage plutôt qu'une menace croissante. Tendances mondiales de smirs. Cependant, le risque reste grave.Et dans de nombreux cas, les attaques deviennent plus spécialisées et sournoises. De nouvelles attaques conversationnelles émergent Au cours de la dernière année, nous avons connu une croissance rapide des attaques conversationnelles contre le mobile.Ces tactiques impliquent que les attaquants envoient plusieurs messages, imitant les modèles d'engagement authentique pour renforcer la confiance.Pendant ce temps, nous avons vu le volume des attaques conversationnelles augmenter de 318% dans le monde, 328% aux États-Unis et 663% dans la boucherie de porc au Royaume-Uni, que nous avons couverte auparavant sur le blog, est un exemple notabled'une menace conversationnelle.Mais ce n'est pas le seul. Dans certaines parties du monde, une usurpation d'identité est devenue une tendance importante.C'est là que l'attaquant prétend être quelqu'un que la victime connaît, comme un membre de la famille, un ami ou une connaissance des entreprises.L'usurpation d'identité peut augmenter la probabilité que la victime faisait confiance au message et attiré dans la conversation. Au Royaume-Uni, l'une des tactiques d'identité communes est de prétendre être un enfant avec un téléphone perdu ou cassé. Exemple d'un texte envoyé par les attaquants. Ceci est un exemple classique de l'ingénierie sociale, en utilisant l'anxiété parentale pour contourner notre prudence habituelle.La prochaine étape dans les abus de conversation implique généralement de persuader la victime de passer à WhatsApp ou un autre service de messagerie avant de demander un transfert d'argent.Dans ce cas, la somme est susceptible d'être faible, mais nous avons vu des montants importants demandés et reçus dans une gamme de leurres conversationnels. Des messages familiaux similaires ont également été signalés en Nouvelle-Zélande.Aux États-Unis, l'identité est plus susceptible d'être un ami ou une connaissance d'entreprise revendiquant une connexion manquée ou demandant à rattraper son retard.Les méthodes qui réussissent dans un pays sont souvent appliquées ailleurs, donc il ne faudra peut-être pas longtemps avant que «Hey Mum» du Royaume-Uni ne devienne «Hey Mom» d'Amérique \\. Et comme les licenciements et l'incertitude économique restent une réalité pour beaucoup, les escroqueries de recrutement ont également passé le courrier électronique au mobile.Après une approche initiale via SMS, les attaquants tenteront de poursuivre l'engagement sur un service de messagerie.Les victimes peuvent être ciblées pour une fraude à des fins avancées, faire face au vol de données personnelles ou être recrutées comme des mules de l'argent pour le blanchiment de gangs criminels. Restez vigilant et signalez des messages malveillants Le ralentissement de la croissance peut sembler une bonne nouvelle.Mais la réalité est que les attaques de smirs sont simplement devenues omniprésentes, tout en grandissant en sophistication et en ruse.Et le risque pour les utilisateurs et l'écosystème mobile reste sévère.Nos téléphones sont toujours au centre de notre vie personnelle, professionnelle et financière.À mesure que les escroqueries deviennent plus variées et ciblées, le coût de la victime d'une attaque peut être significatif.

2023-11-28 23:05:04 | Prédictions 2024 de Proofpoint \\: Brace for Impact Proofpoint\\'s 2024 Predictions: Brace for Impact (lien direct) |
In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, defenders find themselves navigating yet another challenging year. Threat actors persistently refine their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), showcasing adaptability and the rapid iteration of novel and complex attack chains. At the heart of this evolution lies a crucial shift: threat actors now prioritize identity over technology. While the specifics of TTPs and the targeted technology may change, one constant remains: humans and their identities are the most targeted links in the attack chain. Recent instances of supply chain attacks exemplify this shift, illustrating how adversaries have pivoted from exploiting software vulnerabilities to targeting human vulnerabilities through social engineering and phishing. Notably, the innovative use of generative AI, especially its ability to improve phishing emails, exemplifies a shift towards manipulating human behavior rather than exploiting technological weaknesses. As we reflect on 2023, it becomes evident that cyber threat actors possess the capabilities and resources to adapt their tactics in response to increased security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). Looking ahead to 2024, the trend suggests that threats will persistently revolve around humans, compelling defenders to take a different approach to breaking the attack chain. So, what\'s on the horizon? The experts at Proofpoint provide insightful predictions for the next 12 months, shedding light on what security teams might encounter and the implications of these trends. 1. Cyber Heists: Casinos are Just the Tip of the Iceberg Cyber criminals are increasingly targeting digital supply chain vendors, with a heightened focus on security and identity providers. Aggressive social engineering tactics, including phishing campaigns, are becoming more prevalent. The Scattered Spider group, responsible for ransomware attacks on Las Vegas casinos, showcases the sophistication of these tactics. Phishing help desk employees for login credentials and bypassing MFA through phishing one-time password (OTP) codes are becoming standard practices. These tactics have extended to supply chain attacks, compromising identity provider (IDP) vendors to access valuable customer information. The forecast for 2024 includes the replication and widespread adoption of such aggressive social engineering tactics, broadening the scope of initial compromise attempts beyond the traditional edge device and file transfer appliances. 2. Generative AI: The Double-Edged Sword The explosive growth of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, FraudGPT and WormGPT bring both promise and peril, but the sky is not falling as far as cybersecurity is concerned. While large language models took the stage, the fear of misuse prompted the U.S. president to issue an executive order in October 2023. At the moment, threat actors are making bank doing other things. Why bother reinventing the model when it\'s working just fine? But they\'ll morph their TTPs when detection starts to improve in those areas. On the flip side, more vendors will start injecting AI and large language models into their products and processes to boost their security offerings. Across the globe, privacy watchdogs and customers alike will demand responsible AI policies from technology companies, which means we\'ll start seeing statements being published about responsible AI policies. Expect both spectacular failures and responsible AI policies to emerge. 3. Mobile Device Phishing: The Rise of Omni-Channel Tactics take Centre Stage A notable trend for 2023 was the dramatic increase in mobile device phishing and we expect this threat to rise even more in 2024. Threat actors are strategically redirecting victims to mobile interactions, exploiting the vulnerabilities inherent in mobile platforms. Conversational abuse, including conversational smishing, has experienced exponential growth. Multi-touch campaigns aim to lure users away from desktops to mobile devices, utilizing tactics like QR codes and fraudulent voice calls | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Mobile Prediction Prediction | ChatGPT ChatGPT | ★★★ |

2023-11-27 09:26:51 | 8 sujets essentiels de cybersécurité à inclure dans votre programme de formation 8 Essential Cybersecurity Topics to Include in Your Training Program (lien direct) |
Your employees have a critical role to play as a first line of defense against cyberthreats. But to be effective, they need to know what those threats are-and stay apprised of how they\'re evolving. A comprehensive security awareness program is the key to helping your users grow their understanding of attackers\' methods and objectives so they can become more proactive defenders. That includes knowing what strategies malicious actors employ to manipulate people so they can use them to enable their campaigns. The importance of security awareness It\'s well worth taking the time to craft a meaningful and engaging security awareness program. By presenting the right mix of information to your users in a compelling way, you can empower them to help you improve your organization\'s security posture as well as create a more robust security culture overall. The cybersecurity topics that you include in your program should be relevant to your business and industry, of course. Companies face different cyberthreat challenges and regulatory compliance requirements related to data protection and data privacy. That said, there are several subjects that almost any modern business, regardless of its industry, will want to ensure its employees understand. We list eight of these cybersecurity topics below. They are the go-to approaches and tools that attackers around the world commonly use to compromise users and their accounts, disrupt normal business operations, steal money or data, and do other damage. Here\'s a high-level overview of these eight must-know cybersecurity topics: 1. Social engineering Social engineering is a collection of techniques malicious actors use to manipulate human psychology. Attackers rely on these strategies to trick or threaten users to take actions such as giving up account credentials, handing over sensitive data, running malicious code and transferring funds. They do this by taking advantage of users\': Emotions, by conveying a sense of urgency, generating excitement about an opportunity, or creating fear around losing money or doing something wrong Trust, by posing as someone familiar to the user or a trusted brand or authority-such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), UPS, Amazon or Microsoft Fatigue, by timing attacks when users are likely to be tired or distracted and more inclined to let their “emotional mind” guide their decision-making Common social engineering tactics include phishing-which we cover in the next section-and these others: Social media reconnaissance. Attackers often turn to social media to gather information about users that they target with their campaigns. These efforts can include direct outreach to users. Vishing (voice phishing) and smishing (SMS/text phishing). Vishing is the fraudulent practice of making phone calls or leaving voice messages purporting to be from a trusted brand or authority. With smishing, attackers use text messages to send SMS messages to users or robocall them. The messages often promise gifts or services in exchange for payment. Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD). TOAD attacks start with an email that claims to be from a legitimate source and includes a phone number for customer assistance. Callers are connected to fake customer service representatives who then direct the victim through the attack. They may instruct the victim to let them access their machine remotely or download a file that turns out to be malware. Or they might direct them to a phishing site. Common sense can go a long way toward preventing a social engineering attack. Make sure to reiterate that if a message seems too good to be true, it\'s very likely a scam. And if something doesn\'t look or sound right, it probably isn\'t. 2. Phishing Phishing is an example of social engineering. Most phishing messages are sent by email. But some attackers deliver these messages through other methods, including smishing and vishing. Here are some typical strategies: Malicious links.
