[The Mind\'s Bias] Pretexting Now Tops Phishing in Social Engineering Attacks
The New Verizon DBIR is a treasure trove of data. As we will cover a bit below, Verizon reported that 74% of data breaches Involve the "Human Element," so people are one of the most common factors contributing to successful data breaches. Let\'s drill down a bit more in the social engineering section.
They explained: "Now, who has received an email or a direct message on social media from a friend or family member who desperately needs money? Probably fewer of you. This is social engineering (pretexting specifically) and it takes more skill.
"The most convincing social engineers can get into your head and convince you that someone you love is in danger. They use information they have learned about you and your loved ones to trick you into believing the message is truly from someone you know, and they use this invented scenario to play on your emotions and create a sense of urgency. The DBIR Figure 35 shows that Pretexting is now more prevalent than Phishing in Social Engineering incidents. However, when we look at confirmed breaches, Phishing is still on top."
A social attack known as BEC, or business email compromise, can be quite intricate. In this type of attack, the perpetrator uses existing email communications and information to deceive the recipient into carrying out a seemingly ordinary task, like changing a vendor\'s bank account details. But what makes this attack dangerous is that the new bank account provided belongs to the attacker. As a result, any payments the recipient makes to that account will simply disappear.
BEC Attacks Have Nearly Doubled
It can be difficult to spot these attacks as the attackers do a lot of preparation beforehand. They may create a domain doppelganger that looks almost identical to the real one and modify the signature block to show their own number instead of the legitimate vendor.
Attackers can make many subtle changes to trick their targets, especially if they are receiving many similar legitimate requests. This could be one reason why BEC attacks have nearly doubled across the DBIR entire incident dataset, as shown in Figure 36, and now make up over 50% of incidents in this category.
Financially Motivated External Attackers Double Down on Social Engineering
Timely detection and response is crucial when dealing with social engineering attacks, as well as most other attacks. Figure 38 shows a steady increase in the median cost of BECs since 2018, now averaging around $50,000, emphasizing the significance of quick detection.

Deconstructing Amadey’s Latest Multi-Stage Attack and Malware Distribution
(published: May 5, 2023)
McAfee researchers have detected a multi-stage attack that starts with a trojanized wextract.exe, Windows executable used to extract files from a cabinet (CAB) file. It was used to deliver the AgentTesla, Amadey botnet, LockBit ransomware, Redline Stealer, and other malicious binaries. To avoid detection, the attackers use obfuscation and disable Windows Defender through the registry thus stopping users from turning it back on through the Defender settings.
Analyst Comment: Threat actors are always adapting to the security environment to remain effective. New techniques can still be spotted with behavioral analysis defenses and social engineering training. Users should report suspicious files with double extensions such as .EXE.MUI. Indicators associated with this campaign are available in the Anomali platform and users are advised to block these on their infrastructure.

Eastern Asian Android Assault – FluHorse
(published: May 4, 2023)
Active since May 2022, a newly-detected Android stealer dubbed FluHorse spreads mimicking popular apps or as a fake dating application. According to Check Point researchers, FluHorse was targeting East Asia (Taiwan and Vietnam) while remaining undetected for months. This stealthiness is achieved by sticking to minimal functions while also relying on a custom virtual machine that comes with the Flutter user interface software development kit. FluHorse is being distributed via emails that prompt the recipient to install the app and once installed, it asks for the user’s credit card or banking data. If a second factor authentication is needed to commit banking fraud, FluHorse tells the user to wait for 10-15 minutes while intercepting codes by installing a listener for all incoming SMS messages.
Analyst Comment: FluHorse\'s ability to remain undetected for months makes it a dangerous threat. Users should avoid installing applications following download links received via email or other messaging. Verify the app authenticity on the official com |

First-Ever Attack Leveraging Kubernetes RBAC to Backdoor Clusters
(published: April 21, 2023)
A new Monero cryptocurrency-mining campaign is the first recorded case of gaining persistence via Kubernetes (K8s) Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), according to Aquasec researchers. The recorded honeypot attack started with exploiting a misconfigured API server. The attackers preceded by gathering information about the cluster, checking if their cluster was already deployed, and deleting some existing deployments. They used RBAC to gain persistence by creating a new ClusterRole and a new ClusterRole binding. The attackers then created a DaemonSet to use a single API request to target all nodes for deployment. The deployed malicious image from the public registry Docker Hub was named to impersonate a legitimate account and a popular legitimate image. It has been pulled 14,399 times and 60 exposed K8s clusters have been found with signs of exploitation by this campaign.
Analyst Comment: Your company should have protocols in place to ensure that all cluster management and cloud storage systems are properly configured and patched. K8s buckets are too often misconfigured and threat actors realize there is potential for malicious activity. A defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) approach is a good mitigation step to help prevent actors from highly-active threat groups.

[Eyes on the Prize] How Crafty Cons Attempted a 36 Million Vendor Email Heist
The details in this thwarted VEC attack demonstrate how the use of just a few key details can both establish credibility and indicate the entire thing is a scam.
It\'s not every day you hear about a purely social engineering-based scam taking place that is looking to run away with tens of millions of dollars. But, according to security researchers at Abnormal Security, cybercriminals are becoming brazen and are taking their shots at very large prizes.
This attack begins with a case of VEC – where a domain is impersonated. In the case of this attack, the impersonated vendor\'s domain (which had a .com top level domain) was replaced with a matching .cam domain (.cam domains are supposedly used for photography enthusiasts, but there\'s the now-obvious problem with it looking very much like .com to the cursory glance).
The email attaches a legitimate-looking payoff letter complete with loan details. According to Abnormal Security, nearly every aspect of the request looked legitimate. The telltale signs primarily revolved around the use of the lookalike domain, but there were other grammatical mistakes (that can easily be addressed by using an online grammar service or ChatGPT).
This attack was identified well before it caused any damage, but the social engineering tactics leveraged were nearly enough to make this attack successful. Security solutions will help stop most attacks, but for those that make it past scanners, your users need to play a role in spotting and stopping BEC, VEC and phishing attacks themselves – something taught through security awareness training combined with frequent simulated phishing and other social engineering tests.

campagne de phishingCible l'industrie chinoise de l'énergie nucléaire
(Publié: 24 mars 2023)
Actif Depuis 2013, le groupe amer (T-APT-17) est soupçonné d'être parrainé par le gouvernement indien.Des chercheurs Intezer ont découvert une nouvelle campagne amère ciblant les universitaires, le gouvernement et d'autres organisations de l'industrie de l'énergie nucléaire en Chine.Les techniques sont cohérentes avec les campagnes amères observées précédemment.L'intrusion commence par un e-mail de phishing censé provenir d'un véritable employé de l'ambassade du Kirghizistan.Les pièces jointes malveillantes observées étaient soit des fichiers HTML (CHM) compilés à Microsoft, soit des fichiers Microsoft Excel avec des exploits d'éditeur d'équation.L'objectif des charges utiles est de créer de la persistance via des tâches planifiées et de télécharger d'autres charges utiles de logiciels malveillants (les campagnes amères précédentes ont utilisé le voleur d'identification du navigateur, le voleur de fichiers, le keylogger et les plugins d'outils d'accès à distance).Les attaquants se sont appuyés sur la compression LZX et la concaténation des cordes pour l'évasion de détection.
Commentaire de l'analyste: De nombreuses attaques avancées commencent par des techniques de base telles que des e-mails injustifiés avec une pièce jointe qui oblige l'utilisateur à l'ouvrir.Il est important d'enseigner l'hygiène de base en ligne à vos utilisateurs et la sensibilisation au phishing.Il est sûr de recommander de ne jamais ouvrir de fichiers CHM joints et de garder votre bureau MS Office entièrement mis à jour.Tous les indicateurs connus associés à cette campagne amère sont disponibles dans la plate-forme Anomali et il est conseillé aux clients de les bloquer sur leur infrastructure.

Xenomorph V3: a New Variant with ATS Targeting More Than 400 Institutions
(published: March 10, 2023)
Newer versions of the Xenomorph Android banking trojan are able to target 400 applications: cryptocurrency wallets and mobile banking from around the World with the top targeted countries being Spain, Turkey, Poland, USA, and Australia (in that order). Since February 2022, several small, testing Xenomorph campaigns have been detected. Its current version Xenomorph v3 (Xenomorph.C) is available on the Malware-as-a-Service model. This trojan version was delivered using the Zombinder binding service to bind it to a legitimate currency converter. Xenomorph v3 automatically collects and exfiltrates credentials using the ATS (Automated Transfer Systems) framework. The command-and-control traffic is blended in by abusing Discord Content Delivery Network.
Analyst Comment: Fraud chain automation makes Xenomorph v3 a dangerous malware that might significantly increase its prevalence on the threat landscape. Users should keep their mobile devices updated and avail of mobile antivirus and VPN protection services. Install only applications that you actually need, use the official store and check the app description and reviews. Organizations that publish applications for their customers are invited to use Anomali's Premium Digital Risk Protection service to discover rogue, malicious apps impersonating your brand that security teams typically do not search or monitor.

Threat Analysis: Active C2 Discovery Using Protocol Emulation Part3 (ShadowPad)
(published: October 27, 2022)
ShadowPad is a custom, modular malware in use by multiple China-sponsored groups since 2015. VMware researchers analyzed the command-and-control (C2) protocol in recent ShadowPad samples. They uncovered decoding routines and protocol/port combinations such as HTTP/80, HTTP/443, TCP/443, UDP/53, and UDP/443. Active probing revealed 83 likely ShadowPad C2 servers (during September 2021 to September 2022). Additional samples communicating with this infrastructure included Spyder (used by APT41) and ReverseWindow (used by the LuoYu group).
Analyst Comment: Researchers can use reverse engineering and active probing to map malicious C2 infrastructure. At the same time, the ShadowPad malware changes the immediate values used in the packet encoding per variant, so finding new samples is crucial for this monitoring.

Raspberry Robin Worm Part of Larger Ecosystem Facilitating Pre-Ransomware Activity
(published: October 27, 2022)
The Raspberry Robin USB-drive-targeting worm is an increasingly popular infection and delivery method. Raspberry Robin works as a three-file infection: Raspberry Robin LNK file on an USB drive, Raspberry Robin DLL (aka Roshtyak) backdoor, and a heavily-obfuscated .NET DLL that writes LNKs to USB drives. Microsoft researchers analyzed several infection chains likely centered around threat group EvilCorp (aka DEV-0206/DEV-0243). Besides being the initial infection vector, Raspberry Robin was seen delivered by the Fauppod malware, which shares certain code similarities both with Raspberry Robin and with EvilCorp’s Dridex malware. Fauppod/Raspberry Robin infections were followed by additional malware (Bumblebee, Cobalt Strike, IcedID, TrueBot), and eventually led to a ransomware infection (LockBit, Clop).
Analyst Comment: Organizations are advised against enabling Autorun of removable media on Windows by default, as it allows automated activation of an inserted, Raspberry Robin-infected USB drive. Apply best practices related to credential hygiene, network segmentation, and attack surface reduction.
