2024-07-29 10:58:35 | Weekly OSINT Highlights, 29 July 2024 (lien direct) | ## Snapshot Key trends from last week\'s OSINT reporting include novel malware, such as Flame Stealer and FrostyGoop, the compromise of legitimate platforms like Discord and GitHub, and state-sponsored threat actors conducting espionage and destructive attacks. Notable threat actors, including Russian groups, Transparent Tribe, FIN7, and DPRK\'s Andariel, are targeting a wide range of sectors from defense and industrial control systems to financial institutions and research entities. These attacks exploit various vulnerabilities and employ advanced evasion techniques, leveraging both traditional methods and emerging technologies like AI-generated scripts and RDGAs, underscoring the evolving and persistent nature of the cyber threat landscape. ## Description 1. [Widespread Adoption of Flame Stealer](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/f610f18e): Cyfirma reports Flame Stealer\'s use in stealing Discord tokens and browser credentials. Distributed via Discord and Telegram, this malware targets various platforms, utilizing evasion techniques like DLL side-loading and data exfiltration through Discord webhooks. 2. [ExelaStealer Delivered via PowerShell](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/5b4a34b0): The SANS Technology Institute Internet Storm Center reported a threat involving ExelaStealer, downloaded from a Russian IP address using a PowerShell script. The script downloads two PE files: a self-extracting RAR archive communicating with "solararbx\[.\]online" and "service.exe," the ExelaStealer malware. The ExelaStealer, developed in Python, uses Discord for C2, conducting reconnaissance activities and gathering system and user details. Comments in Russian in the script and the origin of the IP address suggest a Russian origin. 3. [FrostyGoop Disrupts Heating in Ukraine](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/cf8f8199): Dragos identified FrostyGoop malware in a cyberattack disrupting heating in Lviv, Ukraine. Linked to Russian groups, the ICS-specific malware exploits vulnerabilities in industrial control systems and communicates using the Modbus TCP protocol. 4. [Rhysida Ransomware Attack on Private School](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/4cf89ad3): ThreatDown by Malwarebytes identified a Rhysida ransomware attack using a new variant of the Oyster backdoor. The attackers used SEO-poisoned search results to distribute malicious installers masquerading as legitimate software, deploying the Oyster backdoor. 5. [LLMs Used to Generate Malicious Code](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/96b66de0): Symantec highlights cyberattacks using Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate malware code. Phishing campaigns utilize LLM-generated PowerShell scripts to download payloads like Rhadamanthys and LokiBot, stressing the need for advanced detection against AI-facilitated attacks. 6. [Stargazers Ghost Network Distributes Malware](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/62a3aa28): Check Point Research uncovers a network of GitHub accounts distributing malware via phishing repositories. The Stargazer Goblin group\'s DaaS operation leverages over 3,000 accounts to spread malware such as Atlantida Stealer and RedLine, targeting both general users and other threat actors. 7. [Crimson RAT Targets Indian Election Results](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/dfae4887): K7 Labs identified Crimson RAT malware delivered through documents disguised as "Indian Election Results." Transparent Tribe APT, believed to be from Pakistan, targets Indian diplomatic and defense entities using macro-embedded documents to steal credentials. 8. [AsyncRAT Distributed via Weaponized eBooks](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/e84ee11d): ASEC discovered AsyncRAT malware distributed through weaponized eBooks. Hidden PowerShell scripts within these eBooks trigger the AsyncRAT payload, which uses obfuscation and anti-detection techniques to exfiltrate data. | Ransomware Data Breach Spam Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Legislation Mobile Industrial Medical | APT 28 APT 36 |
