2016-10-11 04:00:00 | A breach alone means liability (lien direct) | Rich Santalesa, a programmer turned writer and lawyer, brought an interesting turn of events to my attention last week. We need to pay heed: A litigant can have standing in a U.S. Federal breach case where no personal fraud or identity theft has yet occurred.Usually, a litigant has to have suffered injury-a breech caused them identity theft or other fraudulent activity based upon information released in a security breach. This means if you're cracked, you can be liable if personally identifiable information is released, exfiltrated, absconded, whatever. It also means that should you believe the axiom that currently most of us are hacked, we're in for a litigious treat. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here | APT 17 | ||

2016-08-26 08:14:40 | Mozilla launches free website security scanning service (lien direct) | In order to help webmasters better protect their websites and users, Mozilla has built an online scanner that can check if web servers have the best security settings in place.Dubbed Observatory, the tool was initially built for in-house use by Mozilla security engineer April King, who was then encouraged to expand it and make it available to the whole world.She took inspiration from the SSL Server Test from Qualys' SSL Labs, a widely appreciated scanner that rates a website's SSL/TLS configuration and highlights potential weaknesses. Like Qualys' scanner, Observatory uses a scoring system from 0 to 100 -- with the possibility of extra bonus points -- which translates into grades from F to A+.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here | APT 19 | ||

2016-07-01 04:22:19 | APT and why I don\'t like the term, (Fri, Jul 1st) (lien direct) | IntroductionIn May 2015, I wrote a dairy describing a SOC analyst pyramid. It describes the various types of activity SOC analysts encounter in their daily work [1]. In the comments, someone stated I shouldve included the term advanced persistent threat (APT) in the pyramid. But APT is supposed to describe an adversary, not the activity.As far as Im concerned, the media and security vendors have turned APT into a marketing buzzword. I do not like the term APT at all.With that in mind, this diary looks at the origin of the term APT. It also presents a case for and and a case against using the term.Origin of APTIn 2006 members of the United States Air Force (USAF) came up with APT as an unclassified term to refer to certain threat actors in public [2].Background on the term can be found in the July/August 2010 issue of Information Security magazine. It has a feature article titled, What APT is (And What it Isnt) written by Richard Bejtlich." />Shown above: An image showing the table of contents entry for Bejtlichs article.According to Bejtlich, If the USAF wanted to talk about a certain intrusion set with uncleared personnel, they could not use the classified threat actor name. Therefore, the USAF developed the term APT as an unclassified moniker (page 21). Based on later reports about cyber espionage, I believe APT was originally used for state-sponsored threat actors like those in China [3].A case for using APTBejtlichs article has specific guidelines on what constitutes an APT. He also discussed it on his blog [4]. Some key points follow:Advanced means the adversary can operate in the full spectrum of computer intrusion.Persistent means the adversary is formally tasked to accomplish a mission.Threat refers to a group that is organized, funded, and motivated.If you follow these guidelines, using APT to describe a particular adversary is well-justified.Mandiants report about a Chinese state-sponsored group called APT1 is a good example [3]. In my opinion, FireEye and Mandiant have done a decent job of using APT in their reporting.A case against APTThe terms advanced and persistent and even threat are subjective. This is especially true for leadership waiting on the results of an investigation.Usually, when Ive talked with people about APT, theyre often referring to a targeted attack. Some people I know have also used APT to describe an actor behind a successful attack, but it wasnt something I considered targeted. We always think our organization is special, so if were compromised, it must be an APT! If your IT infrastructure has any sort of vulnerability (because people are trained to balance risk and profit), youre as likely be compromised by a common cyber criminal as you are by an APT.Bejtlich states that after Googles Operation Aurora breach in 2010, wide-spread attention was brought to APT. At that point, many vendors saw APT as a marketing angle to rejuvenate a slump in security spending [2]." />Shown above: An example of media reporting on APT.A good example of bad reporting is the Santa-APT blog post from CloudSek in December 2015. however, other sources have reported the info [ | Guideline | APT 1 | |

2016-05-27 14:13:19 | IXESHE Derivative IHEATE Targets Users in America (lien direct) | Since 2012, we've been keeping an eye on the IXESHE targeted attack campaign. Since its inception in 2009, the campaign has primarily targeted governments and companies in East Asia and Germany. However, the campaign appears to have shifted tactics and is once again targeting users in the United States.We also noticed that there were some changes to the underlying behavior of the malware used. While there were some incremental improvements in the observed behavior of the new sample, the underlying pattern of behavior is similar to what we observed earlier from IXESHE.These attacks targeting users in the United States used a variant of IXESHE which has been seen in Taiwan since 2009 named IHEATE. These showed some differences from known IXESHE variants: they had a different command-and-control (C&C) communication model and encryption methods.Post from: Trendlabs Security Intelligence Blog - by Trend MicroIXESHE Derivative IHEATE Targets Users in America | APT 12 | ||

2016-03-30 07:00:00 | Cmstar APT Malware Exploits CVE-2012-0158 (lien direct) | BackgroundAPTs (Advanced Persistent Threats) are a type of threat that targets a specific group of potential victims. For example, they have been used in cyber-espionage campaigns to target governments, anti-government activists, military organizations, as well as private companies. Their goal is to penetrate a targeted system or network, remain hidden for extended periods, and collect and exfiltrate data.A common compromise technique is for an APT to target the victims with a spear phishing campaign. Spear phishing campaigns are successful in part because of the great deal of information we have posted about ourselves online. With only a few minutes of research, a cyber criminal can usually identify one or more people in our professional circles whose name, when we see it in the ‘from’ field in an email, would likely cause us to open the email.The attachment exploits a common vulnerability (CVE-2012-0158) which installs the Cmstar downloader onto the compromised system. Cmstar then contacts the Command and Control (C&C) server for the BBSRAT remote access malware to download, and installs it on the compromised system. The attacker can now control the compromised system directly.Impact on YouHaving any type of malware (especially one designed to steal data) on your network puts your sensitive or regulated information at risk.Once installed, Cmstar has the ability to download malware that can infect other machines as well as pull down additional malware variants as neededThe data-stealing malware can reside inside a network for months or years before detection, giving an attacker virtually unlimited access to dataHow AlienVault HelpsAPTs are sophisticated attacks conducted by well-resourced teams. Preventive technologies like sandboxing can help block some attacks, but a dedicated, focused adversary will always find a way to penetrate a network.That’s why you need the ability to detect the presence of compromised systems, downloaders, remote access malware, and other malicious content in your network quickly. And, once you have detected it, you need to be able to minimize the damage that compromised systems can cause. That’s where the AlienVault Labs team can help—the threat research team continues to research and update the ability of the USM platform to detect new downloaders, remote access toolkits (RATs), as well as new variations on existing malware.The Labs team recently updated the USM platform’s ability to detect the latest version of the Cmstar downloader on your network by adding an IDS signature to detect the malicious traffic and a correlation directive to link events from across your network that indicate that Cmstar has compromised one or more systems.These updates are included in the latest AlienVault Threat Intelligence update available now:New Detection Technique - APT CmstarCmstar is a downloader that is similar to the Lurid and Enfal families of malware. Cmstar is typically delivered through phishing emails that contain malicious Microsoft documents and has recently been used to download BBSRAT.
