## Snapshot Last week\'s OSINT reporting reveals a persistent focus on sophisticated cyber espionage and ransomware campaigns by state-sponsored threat actors and advanced cybercriminal groups. Key trends include the exploitation of known vulnerabilities in network devices and hypervisors by Chinese groups like Velvet Ant and UNC3886, leveraging custom malware for long-term access and data theft. Meanwhile, actors active in the Middle Eastern and South Asian such as Arid Viper and UTA0137 continue to target adversaries with trojanized apps and Linux malware, respectively. Additionally, innovative social engineering techniques, like those used by TA571 and ClearFake, highlight the evolving methods threat actors employ to deliver diverse payloads, including ransomware and information stealers. The consistent targeting of critical infrastructure, government entities, and high-value enterprises underscores the need for robust, multi-layered cybersecurity defenses to mitigate these sophisticated and persistent threats. ## Description 1. **[Arid Viper Espionage Campaigns](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/19d9cd7d)**: ESET researchers uncovered Arid Viper\'s espionage campaigns targeting Android users in Egypt and Palestine. The campaigns distribute trojanized apps through dedicated websites, focusing on user data espionage with their AridSpy malware, a sophisticated multistage Android spyware. 2. **[Velvet Ant Exploits F5 BIG-IP](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/e232b93d)**: Sygnia analysts revealed that the Chinese cyberespionage group Velvet Ant exploited vulnerabilities in F5 BIG-IP appliances to deploy malware like PlugX, enabling long-term access and data theft. These incidents emphasize the threat posed by persistent threat groups exploiting network device vulnerabilities. 3. **[UNC3886 Targets Hypervisors](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/faed9cc0)**: Google Cloud reported that Mandiant investigated UNC3886, a suspected Chinese cyberespionage group, targeting hypervisors with sophisticated malware and exploiting vulnerabilities in FortiOS and VMware technologies. The group utilized rootkits and custom malware for persistence and command and control. 4. **[UTA0137 Cyber-Espionage Campaign](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/bc2b5c55)**: Volexity identified Pakistan-based UTA0137 targeting Indian government entities with DISGOMOJI malware, which uses Discord for command and control. The campaign targets Linux systems, employing various persistence mechanisms and exploiting vulnerabilities like DirtyPipe for privilege escalation. 5. **[Proofpoint Highlights Copy-Paste Attacks](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/c75089e9)**: Proofpoint researchers reported that threat actors, including TA571 and ClearFake, are using techniques that prompt users to copy and paste malicious PowerShell scripts. These campaigns deliver various malware, including DarkGate and NetSupport, through clever social engineering tactics that trick users into compromising their systems. 6. **[Shinra and Limpopo Ransomware](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/b7a96cbd)**: FortiGuard Labs identified the emergence of Shinra and Limpopo ransomware strains in early 2024. Shinra ransomware exfiltrates data before encryption, while Limpopo targets ESXi environments, affecting multiple countries and causing significant disruptions. 7. **[CVE-2024-4577 Vulnerability Exploits](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/8635c515)**: Cyble Global Sensor Intelligence detected multiple scanning attempts exploiting CVE-2024-4577, a vulnerability in Windows affecting PHP installations. Threat actors are using this flaw to deploy ransomware and malware, emphasizing the urgent need for organizations to upgrade PHP versions to mitigate risks. 8. **[SmallTiger Malware Targets South Korea](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/3f29a6c8)**: The AhnLab Securi | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Mobile Cloud | APT-C-23 |
