Traditional methods of flaw remediation are not equipped with the technology to keep pace with the rapid evolution of code generation practices, leaving developers incapable of managing burdensome and overwhelming security debt. Code security is still a critical concern in software development. For instance, when GitHub Copilot generated 435 code snippets, almost 36% of them had security weaknesses, regardless of the programming language. As it is, many developers are still unequipped with an automated method that can securely remediate issues in code. This blog delves into the paradigm shift brought about by Veracode Fix, an innovative AI solution designed to revolutionize automated flaw remediation.

FakeNet-NG is a dynamic network analysis tool that captures network requests and simulates network services to aid in malware research. The FLARE team is committed to maintaining and updating the tool to improve its capabilities and usability. FakeNet is compatible across platforms and extensively customizable; however, we recognized a need to present captured network data in a more intuitive and user-friendly way to help you quickly identify relevant Network-Based Indicators (NBIs). To address this challenge and further enhance the usability, we extended FakeNet-NG to generate HTML-based output that enables you to view, explore, and share captured network data. This feature was implemented by Beleswar Prasad Padhi as part of a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project that the Mandiant FLARE team mentored in 2023. To learn more about the program and our open-source contributors, check out the introductory post.

## Instantané
À la fin de 2023, les analystes de BlackBerry ont détecté une campagne de phisces de lance lancée par FIN7, suivie par Microsoft sous le nom de Sangria Tempest, ciblant un constructeur automobile basé aux États-Unis.
## Description
Les attaquants se sont concentrés sur les employés du service informatique possédant des privilèges administratifs élevés, les attirant avec une offre d'un outil de numérisation IP gratuit, qui a dissimulé la porte dérobée Anunak.Cet incident démontre un changement dans les efforts de Fin7 \\, du ciblage généralisé au ciblage plus précis de secteurs de grande valeur tels que le transport et la défense.
En cliquant sur des URL intégrées, les victimes ont été dirigées vers des sites Web malveillants, faisant partie d'un schéma de typosquat, qui a facilité le téléchargement et l'exécution de la porte dérobée Anunak sur leurs systèmes.Le déploiement de la vie des binaires terrestres, des scripts et des bibliothèques (lolbas) a masqué l'activité malveillante, en aidant à l'attaquants \\ 'de pied initial.En outre, le flux d'exécution des logiciels malveillants a impliqué des processus complexes en plusieurs étapes, y compris le décryptage et l'exécution des charges utiles, telles que Anunak, et l'établissement de la persistance via OpenSSH.
Au cours de la phase de livraison de cette campagne, le site Web de faux leurre, «Advanced-ip-scanner \ [. \] Com», redirigé vers «Myipscanner \ [. \] Com».Les analystes de BlackBerry ont trouvé plusieurs domaines enregistrés dans les minutes suivant l'original sur le même fournisseur, illustrant que cette campagne n'est probablement pas limitée à cette attaque, mais fait plutôt partie d'une campagne plus large de FIN7.

#### Targeted Geolocations - United States ## Snapshot In late 2023, BlackBerry analysts detected a spear-phishing campaign launched by FIN7, tracked by Microsoft as Sangria Tempest, targeting a US-based automotive manufacturer. ## Description The attackers concentrated on employees within the IT department possessing elevated administrative privileges, luring them with an offer of a free IP scanning tool, which concealed the Anunak backdoor. This incident is demonstrative of a shift in FIN7\'s efforts from widespread targeting to more precise targeting of high-value sectors such as transportation and defense. Upon clicking on embedded URLs, victims were directed to malicious websites, part of a typosquatting scheme, which facilitated the download and execution of the Anunak backdoor onto their systems. The deployment of living off the land binaries, scripts, and libraries (lolbas) masked the malicious activity, aiding in the attackers\' initial foothold. Furthermore, the malware execution flow involved intricate multi-stage processes, including the decryption and execution of payloads, such as Anunak, and the establishment of persistence through OpenSSH. During the delivery phase of this campaign, the fake lure website, “advanced-ip-sccanner\[.\]com,” redirected to “myipscanner\[.\]com.” Blackberry analysts found multiple domains registered within minutes of the original on the same provider, illustrating that this campaign is likely not limited to this attack, but is instead part of a wider campaign by FIN7. ## References [https://blogs.blackberry.com/en/2024/04/fin7-targets-the-united-states-automotive-industry](https://blogs.blackberry.com/en/2024/04/fin7-targets-the-united-states-automotive-industry) |

2024-04-18 09:53:59 | The Windows Registry Adventure # 1: Résultats d'introduction et de recherche The Windows Registry Adventure #1: Introduction and research results (lien direct) |
Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero In the 20-month period between May 2022 and December 2023, I thoroughly audited the Windows Registry in search of local privilege escalation bugs. It all started unexpectedly: I was in the process of developing a coverage-based Windows kernel fuzzer based on the Bochs x86 emulator (one of my favorite tools for security research: see Bochspwn, Bochspwn Reloaded, and my earlier font fuzzing infrastructure), and needed some binary formats to test it on. My first pick were PE files: they are very popular in the Windows environment, which makes it easy to create an initial corpus of input samples, and a basic fuzzing harness is equally easy to develop with just a single GetFileVersionInfoSizeW API call. The test was successful: even though I had previously fuzzed PE files in 2019, the new element of code coverage guidance allowed me to discover a completely new bug: issue #2281. For my next target, I chose the Windows registry. That\'s because arbitrary registry hives can be loaded from disk without any special privileges via the RegLoadAppKey API (since Windows Vista). The hives use a binary format and are fully parsed in the kernel, making them a noteworthy local attack surface. Furthermore, I was also somewhat familiar with basic harnessing of the registry, having fuzzed it in 2016 together with James Forshaw. Once again, the code coverage support proved useful, leading to the discovery of issue #2299. But when I started to perform a root cause analysis of the bug, I realized that: The hive binary format is not very well suited for trivial bitflipping-style fuzzing, because it is structurally simple, and random mutations are much more likely to render (parts of) the hive unusable than to trigger any interesting memory safety violations.On the other hand, the registry has many properties that make it an attractive attack | Tool Vulnerability Threat Studies | ★★★★ | |

2024-04-18 09:46:51 | The Windows Registry Adventure # 2: Une brève histoire de la fonctionnalité The Windows Registry Adventure #2: A brief history of the feature (lien direct) |
Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero Before diving into the low-level security aspects of the registry, it is important to understand its role in the operating system and a bit of history behind it. In essence, the registry is a hierarchical database made of named "keys" and "values", used by Windows and applications to store a variety of settings and configuration data. It is represented by a tree structure, in which keys may have one or more sub-keys, and every subkey is associated with exactly one parent key. Furthermore, every key may also contain one or more values, which have a type (integer, string, binary blob etc.) and are used to store actual data in the registry. Every key can be uniquely identified by its name and the names of all of its ascendants separated by the special backslash character (\'\\'), and starting with the name of one of the top-level keys (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_USERS, etc.). For example, a full registry path may look like this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows. At a high level, this closely resembles the structure of a file system, where the top-level key is equivalent to the root of a mounted disk partition (e.g. C:\), keys are equivalent to directories, and values are equivalent to files. One important distinction, however, is that keys are the only type of securable objects in the registry, and values play a much lesser role in the database than files do in the file system. Furthermore, specific subtrees of the registry are stored on disk in binary files called registry hives, and the hive mount points don\'t necessarily correspond one-to-one to the top-level keys (e.g. the C:\Windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE hive is mounted under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software, a one-level nested key). Fundamentally, there are only a few basic operations that can be performed in the registry. These operations are summarized in the table below: Hives Load hive Unload hive Flush hive to disk Keys Open key Create key Delete key | Tool Prediction Technical | ★★★★ | |

2024-04-18 06:00:36 | FAQ à partir de l'état du rapport Phish 2024, partie 2: comportements et attitudes des utilisateurs envers la sécurité FAQs from the 2024 State of the Phish Report, Part 2: User Behaviors and Attitudes Toward Security (lien direct) |
Welcome to the second installment of our two-part blog series where we answer the most frequently asked questions about the 2024 State of the Phish Report. In our previous article, we answered questions related to the threat landscape findings. Here, we answer questions related to user behaviors and attitudes, as well as how to grow your security awareness program. One of the most interesting findings that came out of the 2024 State of the Phish report was the fact that 71% of users admitted to engaging in a risky action and 96% of those users understood the risk. This suggests that people are not acting out of ignorance. Despite knowing that their actions could compromise themselves or their organization, people chose to proceed anyway. This information is crucial for the growth of any security awareness program. It enables organizations to tailor their efforts. By observing and analyzing how users interact with security policies, organizations can identify knowledge gaps and areas of resistance. When you engage users in this manner, you not only educate them but also transform them into active participants in protecting your organization. 96% of users who took a risky action knew that it was risky. (Source: 2024 State of the Phish from Proofpoint.) Our findings inspired hundreds of questions from audiences across the world. What follows are some of the questions that repeatedly came up. Frequently asked questions What are some ways to get users to care about security and get engaged? Two-way communication is key. Take a moment to explain to your employees why you\'re running a behavior change program, what the expectations are and what projected outcomes you foresee. Make it personal. Let people know that cybersecurity isn\'t just a work skill but a portable skill they can take home to help themselves and their families be safer in life. Keep your employees up to speed on what\'s happening in the current threat landscape. For example: What types of threats does your business see? Which departments are under attack? How does the security team handle these incidents? What can people do to defend against emerging threats that target them? Research for the 2024 State of the Phish report found that 87% of end users are more motivated to prioritize security when they see increased engagement from leadership or the security team. In short: You need to open up the lines of communication, listen to your employees and incorporate their feedback, and establish a security champion network to help facilitate communication more effectively. Any ideas on why the click rate for phishing simulations went up for many industries this year? There may be a few possible reasons. For starters, there has been an increase in the number of phishing tests sent. Our customers sent out a total of 183 million simulated phishing tests over a 12-month period, up from 135 million in the previous 12-month period. This 36% increase suggests that our customers may have either tested their users more frequently or tested more users in general. Also, some users might be new to these tests, resulting in a higher click rate. Regardless, if you are conducting a phishing campaign throughout the year, the click rates of phishing tests are expected to go up and down because you want to challenge your employees with new attack tactics they have not seen. Otherwise, the perception would be, “Oh, this is the face of a phish,” if you keep phishing your users with the same test. At Proofpoint, we use machine learning-driven leveled phishing to provide a more reliable way to accurately assess user vulnerability. This unique feature allows security teams to examine the predictability of a phishing template and obtain more consistent outcomes while improving users\' resilience against human-activated threats. People need to understand how attackers exploit human vulnerability. Phishing tests should reflect reality and be informed by real-world threats.

2024-04-17 18:00:31 | Réduire le désabonnement d'incitation avec une composition de modèle explosive Reducing Prompting Churn with Exploding Template Composition (lien direct) |
Engineering Insights is an ongoing blog series that gives a behind-the-scenes look into the technical challenges, lessons and advances that help our customers protect people and defend data every day. Each post is a firsthand account by one of our engineers about the process that led up to a Proofpoint innovation. In the nascent world of large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering has emerged as a critical discipline. However, as LLM applications expand, it is becoming a more complex challenge to manage and maintain a library of related prompts. At Proofpoint, we developed Exploding Prompts to manage the complexity through exploding template composition. We first created the prompts to generate soft labels for our data across a multitude of models and labeling concerns. But Exploding Prompts has also enabled use cases for LLMs that were previously locked away because managing the prompt lifecycle is so complex. Recently, we\'ve seen exciting progress in the field of automated prompt generation and black-box prompt optimization through DSPy. Black-box optimization requires hand-labeled data to generate prompts automatically-a luxury that\'s not always an option. You can use Exploding Prompts to generate labels for unlabeled data, as well as for any prompt-tuning application without a clear (or tractable) objective for optimization. In the future, Exploding Prompts could be used with DSPy to achieve a human-in-the-loop feedback cycle. We are also thrilled to announce that Exploding Prompts is now an open-source release. We encourage you to explore the code and consider how you might help make it even better. The challenge: managing complexity in prompt engineering Prompt engineering is not just about crafting queries that guide intelligent systems to generate the desired outputs; it\'s about doing it at scale. As developers push the boundaries of what is possible with LLMs, the need to manage a vast array of prompts efficiently becomes more pressing. Traditional methods often need manual adjustments and updates across numerous templates, which is a process that\'s both time-consuming and error-prone. To understand this problem, just consider the following scenario. You need to label a large quantity of data. You have multiple labels that can apply to each piece of data. And each label requires its own prompt template. You timebox your work and find a prompt template that achieves desirable results for your first label. Happily, most of the template is reusable. So, for the next label, you copy-paste the template and change the portion of the prompt that is specific to the label itself. You continue doing this until you figure out the section of the template that has persisted through each version of your labels can be improved. Now you now face the task of iterating through potentially dozens of templates to make a minor update to each of the files. Once you finish, your artificial intelligence (AI) provider releases a new model that outperforms your current model. But there\'s a catch. The new model requires another small update to each of your templates. To your chagrin, the task of managing the lifecycle of your templates soon takes up most of your time. The solution: exploding prompts from automated dependency graphs Prompt templating is a popular way to manage complexity. Exploding Prompts builds on prompt templating by introducing an “explode” operation. This allows a few single-purpose templates to explode into a multitude of prompts. This is accomplished by building dependency graphs automatically from the directory structure and the content of prompt template files.

2024-04-17 10:00:00 | Unearthing APT44: Russia\'s Notorious Cyber Sabotage Unit Sandworm (lien direct) | Written by: Gabby Roncone, Dan Black, John Wolfram, Tyler McLellan, Nick Simonian, Ryan Hall, Anton Prokopenkov, Luke Jenkins, Dan Perez, Lexie Aytes, Alden Wahlstrom
With Russia\'s full-scale invasion in its third year, Sandworm (aka FROZENBARENTS) remains a formidable threat to Ukraine. The group\'s operations in support of Moscow\'s war aims have proven tactically and operationally adaptable, and as of today, appear to be better integrated with the activities of Russia\'s conventional forces than in any other previous phase of the conflict. To date, no other Russian government-backed cyber group has played a more central role in shaping and supporting Russia\'s military campaign. Yet the threat posed by Sandworm is far from limited to Ukraine. Mandiant continues to see operations from the group that are global in scope in key political, military, and economic hotspots for Russia. Additionally, with a record number of people participating in national elections in 2024, Sandworm\'s history of attempting to interfere in democratic processes further elevates the severity of the threat the group may pose in the near-term. Given the active and diffuse nature of the threat posed by Sandworm globally, Mandiant has decided to graduate the group into a named Advanced Persistent Threat: APT44. As part of this process, we are releasing a report, “APT44: Unearthing Sandworm”, that provides additional insights into the group\'s new operations, retrospective insights, and context on how the group is adjusting to support Moscow\'s war aims. Key Findings Sponsored by Russian military intelligence, APT44 is a dynamic and operationally mature threat actor that is actively engaged in the full spectrum of espionage, attack, and influence operations. While most state-backed threat groups tend to specialize in a specific mission such as collecting intelligence, sabotaging networks, or conducting information operations, APT44 stands apart in how it has honed each of these capabilities and sought to integrate them into a unified playbook over time. Each of these respective components, and APT44\'s efforts to blend them for combined effect, are foundational to Russia\'s guiding “information confrontation” concept for cyber warfare.

2024-04-17 10:00:00 | Introduction à l'analyse de la composition logicielle et comment sélectionner un outil SCA Introduction to Software Composition Analysis and How to Select an SCA Tool (lien direct) |
The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Software code is constantly growing and becoming more complex, and there is a worrying trend: an increasing number of open-source components are vulnerable to attacks. A notable instance was the Apache Log4j library vulnerability, which posed serious security risks. And this is not an isolated incident. Using open-source software necessitates thorough Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to identify these security threats. Organizations must integrate SCA tools into their development workflows while also being mindful of their limitations. Why SCA Is Important Open-source components have become crucial to software development across various industries. They are fundamental to the construction of modern applications, with estimates suggesting that up to 96% of the total code bases contain open-source elements. Assembling applications from diverse open-source blocks presents a challenge, necessitating robust protection strategies to manage and mitigate risks effectively. Software Composition Analysis is the process of identifying and verifying the security of components within software, especially open-source ones. It enables development teams to efficiently track, analyze, and manage any open-source element integrated into their projects. SCA tools identify all related components, including libraries and their direct and indirect dependencies. They also detect software licenses, outdated dependencies, vulnerabilities, and potential exploits. Through scanning, SCA creates a comprehensive inventory of a project\'s software assets, offering a full view of the software composition for better security and compliance management. Although SCA tools have been available for quite some time, the recent open-source usage surge has cemented their importance in application security. Modern software development methodologies, such as DevSecOps, emphasize the need for SCA solutions for developers. The role of security officers is to guide and assist developers in maintaining security across the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), ensuring that SCA becomes an integral part of creating secure software. Objectives and Tasks of SCA Tools Software Composition Analysis broadly refers to security methodologies and tools designed to scan applications, typically during development, to identify vulnerabilities and software license issues. For effective management of open-source components and associated risks, SCA solutions help navigate several tasks: 1) Increasing Transparency A developer might incorporate various open-source packages into their code, which in turn may depend on additional open-source packages unknown to the developer. These indirect dependencies can extend several levels deep, complicating the understanding of exactly which open-source code the application uses. Reports indicate that 86% of vulnerabilities in node.js projects stem from transitive (indirect) dependencies, w | Tool Vulnerability Threat Patching Prediction Cloud Commercial | ★★ | |

Key takeaways TA427 regularly engages in benign conversation starter campaigns to establish contact with targets for long-term exchanges of information on topics of strategic importance to the North Korean regime. In addition to using specially crafted lure content, TA427 heavily leverages think tank and non-governmental organization-related personas to legitimize its emails and increase the chances that targets will engage with the threat actor. To craftily pose as its chosen personas, TA427 uses a few tactics including DMARC abuse in concert with free email addresses, typosquatting, and private email account spoofing. TA427 has also incorporated web beacons for initial reconnaissance of its targets, establishing basic information like that the email account is active. Overview Proofpoint researchers track numerous state-sponsored and state-aligned threat actors. TA427 (also known as Emerald Sleet, APT43, THALLIUM or Kimsuky), a Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) aligned group working in support of the Reconnaissance General Bureau, is particularly prolific in email phishing campaigns targeting experts for insight into US and the Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea) foreign policy. Since 2023, TA427 has directly solicited foreign policy experts for their opinions on nuclear disarmament, US-ROK policies, and sanction topics via benign conversation starting emails. In recent months, Proofpoint researchers have observed (Figure 1) a steady, and at times increasing, stream of this activity. While our researchers have consistently observed TA427 rely on social engineering tactics and regularly rotating its email infrastructure, in December 2023 the threat actor began to abuse lax Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) policies to spoof various personas and, in February 2024, began incorporating web beacons for target profiling. It is this initial engagement, and the tactics successfully leveraged by TA427, which this blog is focused on. Figure 1. Volume of TA427 phishing campaigns observed between January 2023 and March 2024. Social engineering TA427 is a savvy social engineering expert whose campaigns are likely in support of North Korea\'s strategic intelligence collection efforts on US and ROK foreign policy initiatives. Based on the targets identified and the information sought, it is believed that TA427\'s goal is to augment North Korean intelligence and inform its foreign policy negotiation tactics (example Figure 2). TA427 is known to engage its targets for extended periods of time through a series of benign conversations to build a rapport with targets that can occur over weeks to months. They do so by constantly rotating which aliases are used to engage with the targets on similar subject matter. Figure 2. Example of TA427 campaign focused on US policy during an election year. Using timely, relevant lure content (as seen in Figure 3) customized for each victim, and often spoofing individuals in the DPRK research space with whom the victim is familiar to encourage engagement, targets are often requested to share their thoughts on these topics via email or a formal research paper or article. Malware or credential harvesting are never directly sent to the targets without an exchange of multiple messages, and based on Proofpoint visibility, rarely utilized by the threat actor. It is possible that TA427 can fulfill its intelligence requirements by directly asking targets for their opinions or analysis rather than from an infection. Additionally, insight gained from the correspondence is likely used to improve targeting of the victim organization and establish rapport for later questions and engagement. Figure 3. Timeline of real-world events based on international press reporting, side-by-side with Proofpoint observed subject lures.

The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. In the digital world, every document, image, video, or program we create leaves a trail. Understanding the lifecycle of a file, from its creation to deletion, is crucial for various purposes, including data security, data recovery, and digital forensics. This article delves into the journey a file takes within a storage device, explaining its creation, storage, access, and potential deletion phases. File Lifecycle 1. Creation: Birth of a Digital Entity A file\'s life begins with its creation. This can happen in various ways: Software Applications: When you create a new document in a word processor, edit an image in a photo editing software, or record a video, the application allocates space on the storage device and writes the data associated with the file. Downloads: Downloading a file from the internet involves copying data from the remote server to your storage device. Data Transfers: Copying a file from one location to another on the same device or transferring it to a different device creates a new instance of the file. System Processes: Operating systems and applications sometimes create temporary files during various processes. These files may be automatically deleted upon task completion. During creation, the operating system assigns a unique identifier (often a filename) to the file and stores it in a directory (folder) along with additional information about the file, known as metadata. This metadata typically includes: File size: The total amount of storage space occupied by the file. Creation date and time: The timestamp of when the file was first created. Modification date and time: The timestamp of the last time the file content was modified. File access permissions: Restrictions on who can read, write, or execute the file. File type: Information about the type of file (e.g., .docx, .jpg, .exe). 2. Storage: Finding a Home Storage devices like hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and flash drives hold the data associated with files. However, the data isn\'t stored as a continuous stream of information. Instead, it\'s broken down into smaller chunks called sectors. When a file is created, the operating system allocates a specific number of sectors on the storage device to hold the file content. This allocation process can happen in various ways depending on the file system used. Here are some key points to remember about file storage: Fragmentation: Over time, as files are created, deleted, and resized, the available sectors become fragmented across the storage device. This fragmentation can impact file access speed. File Allocation Table (FAT) or Similar Structures: Some file systems rely on a separate table (FAT) or index that keeps track of which sectors belong to specific files. Deleted Files: When a file is deleted, the operating system typically only removes the reference to the file from the directory structure. The actual data may still reside on the storage device until overwritten by new data. 3. Access: Reading and Writing We interact with files by accessing them for various purposes, such as reading a document, editing an image, or running a program. This involves the following steps: File System Request: When an application attempts to access a file, it sends a request to the operating system. Directory Lookup: The opera | Tool | ★★★ | |

Bien que l'e-mail ne mentionne pas la raison spécifique de la fermeture ou la date de clôture exacte du service VPN Google One, un porte-parole de l'entreprise a déclaré à 9to5Google que la société abandonnait la fonctionnalité VPN en raison de l'équipe & # 8220;Les gens trouvés n'étaient tout simplement pas utilisés. & # 8221;
Le porte-parole a également ajouté que la dépréciation permettra à l'équipe de «recentrer» et de «prendre en charge des fonctionnalités plus demandées avec Google One».
Cependant, les propriétaires des smartphones de Pixel 7 de Google et au-dessus pourront toujours utiliser la fonction VPN intégrée gratuite par Google One après qu'il n'est pas disponible via l'application Paramètres sur les périphériques Pixel.
De plus, la fonction VPN disponible avec Google Fi Wireless Service sera également disponible.
Outre ce qui précède, Google a également annoncé la disponibilité de Magic Editor, un outil de retouche photo basé sur l'IA dans Google Photos, à tous les utilisateurs de Pixel, qui était initialement limité aux utilisateurs de Pixel 8 et Pixel 8 Pro.
Google has announced that it is shutting down its free add-on service, VPN by Google One, in the coming months after it was launched less than four years ago. For those unaware, in October 2020, Google rolled out a free virtual private network (VPN) service called “VPN by Google One” in select countries to all customers with 2TB or higher subscription plans on Google One, its subscription-based cloud storage service. Further, the free VPN service was advertised as an “extra layer of online protection for your Android phone” and that allows for “peace of mind that your data is safe.” However, 9to5Google reports that the company is now emailing Google One users to notify them of its shutdown. “With a focus on providing the most in-demand features and benefits, we\'re discontinuing free shipping for select print orders from Google Photos (in Canada, the UK, US, and EU) starting on May 15 and VPN by Google One later this year,” reads the email sent to the users. Although the email doesn\'t mention the specific reason for the shutdown or the exact closing date for the Google One VPN service, a company spokesperson told 9to5Google that the company is discontinuing the VPN feature because the team “found people simply weren\'t using it.” The spokesperson also adde |

#### Géolocations ciblées
- Allemagne
## Instantané
Proofpoint a identifié TA547 lancement d'une campagne de courriel ciblant les organisations allemandes avec Rhadamanthys malware, marquant la première utilisation connue de Rhadamanthys par cet acteur de menace.La campagne consistait à usurper l'identité d'une entreprise de vente au détail allemande dans des e-mails contenant des fichiers ZIP protégés par mot de passe prétendument liés aux factures, ciblant plusieurs industries en Allemagne.
## Description
Les fichiers zip contenaient des fichiers LNK qui, lorsqu'ils sont exécutés, ont déclenché un script PowerShell pour exécuter un script distant chargeant des Rhadamanthys en mémoire, en contournant l'écriture de disque.Le script PowerShell affichait des caractéristiques suggérant un contenu généré par la machine, potentiellement à partir de modèles de langues grands (LLM).
La récente campagne en Allemagne représente un changement dans les techniques de TA547, y compris l'utilisation de LNK comprimés et du voleur Rhadamanthys non observé auparavant.L'incorporation de contenu suspecté de LLM dans la chaîne d'attaque donne un aperçu de la façon dont les acteurs de la menace tirent parti du contenu généré par LLM dans les campagnes de logiciels malveillants, bien qu'il n'ait pas modifié la fonctionnalité ou l'efficacité du malware ou la façon dont les outils de sécurité ont défendu contre lui.

#### Targeted Geolocations - Germany ## Snapshot Proofpoint has identified TA547 launching an email campaign targeting German organizations with Rhadamanthys malware, marking the first known use of Rhadamanthys by this threat actor. The campaign involved impersonating a German retail company in emails containing password-protected ZIP files purportedly related to invoices, targeting multiple industries in Germany. ## Description The ZIP files contained LNK files which, when executed, triggered a PowerShell script to run a remote script loading Rhadamanthys into memory, bypassing disk writing. The PowerShell script displayed characteristics suggestive of machine-generated content, potentially from large language models (LLMs). The recent campaign in Germany represents a shift in techniques for TA547, including the use of compressed LNKs and the previously unobserved Rhadamanthys stealer. The incorporation of suspected LLM-generated content into the attack chain provides insight into how threat actors are leveraging LLM-generated content in malware campaigns, although it did not change the functionality or efficacy of the malware or the way security tools defended against it. ## Recommendations [Check out Microsoft\'s write-up on information stealers here.](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-profiles/2296d491ea381b532b24f2575f9418d4b6723c17b8a1f507d20c2140a75d16d6) [Check out additional OSINT on Rhadamanthys here.](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/0131b256) ## References [https://www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-insight/security-brief-ta547-targets-german-organizations-rhadamanthys-stealer](https://www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-insight/security-brief-ta547-targets-german-organizations-rhadamanthys-stealer) |

This blog post is part of a monthly series, Cybersecurity Stop of the Month, which explores the ever-evolving tactics of today\'s cybercriminals. It focuses on the critical first three steps in the attack chain in the context of email threats. The goal of this series is to help you understand how to fortify your defenses to protect people and defend data against emerging threats in today\'s dynamic threat landscape. The critical first three steps of the attack chain-reconnaissance, initial compromise and persistence. So far in this series, we have examined these types of attacks: Supplier compromise EvilProxy SocGholish eSignature phishing QR code phishing Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD) Payroll diversion MFA manipulation Supply chain compromise Multilayered malicious QR code attack In this post, we examine an emerging threat-the use of malicious cloud applications created within compromised cloud tenants following account takeover. We refer to it as MACT, for short. Background Cloud account takeover (ATO) attacks are a well-known risk. Research by Proofpoint found that last year more than 96% of businesses were actively targeted by these attacks and about 60% had at least one incident. Financial damages reached an all-time high. These findings are unsettling. But there is more for businesses to worry about. Cybercriminals and state-sponsored entities are rapidly adopting advanced post-ATO techniques. And they have embraced the use of malicious and abused OAuth apps. In January 2024, Microsoft revealed that a nation-state attacker had compromised its cloud environments and stolen valuable data. This attack was attributed to TA421 (aka Midnight Blizzard and APT29), which are threat groups that have been attributed to Russia\'s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). Attackers exploited existing OAuth apps and created new ones within hijacked cloud tenants. After the incident, CISA issued a new advisory for businesses that rely on cloud infrastructures. Proofpoint threat researchers observed attackers pivoting to the use of OAuth apps from compromised-and often verified-cloud tenants. Threat actors take advantage of the trust that\'s associated with verified or recognized identities to spread cloud malware threats as well as establish persistent access to sensitive resources. The scenario Proofpoint monitors a malicious campaign named MACT Campaign 1445. It combines a known tactic used by cloud ATO attackers with new tactics, techniques and procedures. So far, it has affected dozens of businesses and users. In this campaign, attackers use hijacked user accounts to create malicious internal apps. In tandem, they also conduct reconnaissance, exfiltrate data and launch additional attacks. Attackers use a unique anomalous URL for the malicious OAuth apps\' reply URL-a local loopback with port 7823. This port is used for TCP traffic. It is also associated with a known Windows Remote Access Trojan (RAT). Recently, Proofpoint researchers found four accounts at a large company in the hospitality industry compromised by attackers. In a matter of days, attackers used these accounts to create four distinct malicious OAuth apps. The threat: How did the attack happen? Here is a closer look at how the attack unfolded. Initial access vectors. Attackers used a reverse proxy toolkit to target cloud user accounts. They sent individualized phishing lures to these users, which enabled them to steal their credentials as well as multifactor authentication (MFA) tokens. A shared PDF file with an embedded phishing URL that attackers used to steal users\' credentials. Unauthorized access (cloud account takeover). Once attackers had stolen users\' credentials, they established unauthorized access to the four targeted accounts. They logged in to several native Microsoft 365 sign-in apps, including “Azure Portal” and “Office Home.” Cloud malware (post-access OAuth app creat | Spam Malware Tool Threat Cloud | APT 29 | ★★★ |
