2020-10-15 14:00:00 | COVID-19 Attacks – Defending Your Organization (lien direct) | Overview The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic has caused widespread fear of the unknown and deadly aspects of this novel virus, generated growth in certain industries to combat it, and created a shift toward remote work environments to slow the spread of the disease. Defending Your Organization Against COVID-19 Cyber Attacks. In this webinar, AJ, and I describe COVID-19 attacks in January through March, the groups behind them, and key MITRE ATT&CK techniques being employed. We then discuss ways an organization can keep themselves safe from these types of attacks. Pandemic Background COVID-19 is a pandemic viral respiratory disease, originally identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. At the time of the webinar, it had infected around 1.5 million people worldwide. Within the first month, cyber actors capitalized on the opportunity. COVID Attack Timeline December 2019 - January 2020 At the end of December 2019, China alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) that there was an outbreak in Wuhan, China. Within a month, the first cyber events were being recorded. Around January 31, 2020, malicious emails (T1566.001) using the Emotet malware (S0367) and a phishing campaign (T1566.001) using LokiBot (S0447) were tied to TA542 alias Mummy Spider. Emotet, in particular, was prolific. It originally started as a banking Trojan, then evolved into a delivery mechanism for an initial payload that infected systems to download additional malware families such as TrickBot (S0266). Around this same time, there was a marked increase in the registration of domain names with COVID-19 naming conventions, a key indicator of an uptick in phishing campaigns. February 2020 In early February, the progression of adversaries using uncertainty about and thirst for information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent. New malware variants and malware families were reported employing coronavirus related content, including NanoCore RAT (S0336) and Parallax RAT, a newer remote-access Trojan, to infect unsuspecting users. Throughout February, cybercrime actors launched several phishing campaigns (T1566.001) to deliver information stealer AZORult (S0344). With worldwide government health agencies giving advice on cyber and physical health, threat actors aligned with nation-states such as Russia (Hades APT), China (Mustang Panda), and North Korea (Kimsuky - G0094) used this messaging to lure individuals to download and/or execute malicious files disguised as legitimate documents. These state-sponsored groups used convincing lures to impersonate organizations such as the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO), and various public health government agencies to achieve short- and long-term national objectives. March 2020 In March, we observed a flurry of nation-state and cybercrime attributed malicious activity seeking to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic.

Grindr Fixed a Bug Allowing Full Takeover of Any User Account
(published: October 3, 2020)
Grindr, an LGBT networking platform, has fixed a vulnerability that could allow any account to be hijacked. The vulnerability was identified by security researcher Wassime Bouimadaghene, finding that the reset token was leaked in the page’s response content. This would enable anyone who knows a users’ email address to generate the reset link that is sent via email. Gaining account access would enable an attacker to obtain sensitive information such as pictures stored on the app (including NSFW), HIV status, location, and messages. Grindr has announced a bug bounty program.
Recommendation: If your account has been breached, you can reset the password using the reset link sent to the associated email address.

XDSpy: Stealing Government Secrets Since 2011
(published: October 2, 2020)
Security researchers from ESET have identified a new Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group that has been targeting Eastern European governments and businesses for up to nine years. Dubbed “XDSpy,” ESET was unable to identify any code similarity or shared infrastructure with other known groups and believe the group operates in a UTC+2 or UTC+3 time zone, Monday to Friday. XDSpy mainly uses spearphishing emails with some variance, some will contain attachments or links to malicious files, usually a ZIP or RAR archive. When the malicious file has infected a victim, it will install “XDDown,” a downloader that will begin to install additional plugins that will begin to exfiltrate files, passwords, and nearby SSIDs. XDSpy has also been observed using “CVE-2020-0968” (Internet Explorer legacy JavaScript vulnerability) bearing some resemblance to DarkHotel campaigns and Operation Domino, ESET do not believe these campaigns are related but may be using the same exploit broker.
Recommendation: Defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) is the best way to ensure safety from APTs, including a focus on both network and host-based security. Prevention and detection capabilities should also be in place. Furthermore, all employees should be educated on the risks of spearphishing and how to identify such attempts.

China’s ‘Hybrid War’: Beijing’s Mass Surveillance of Australia and the World for Secrets and Scandal
(published: September 14, 2020)
A database containing 2.4 million people has been leaked from a Shenzhen company, Zhenhua Data, believed to have ties to the Chinese intelligence service. The database contains personal information on over 35,000 Australians and prominent figures, and 52,000 Americans. This includes addresses, bank information, birth dates, criminal records, job applications, psychological profiles, and social media. Politicians, lawyers, journalists, military officers, media figures, and Natalie Imbruglia are among the records of Australians contained in the database. While a lot of the information is public, there is also non-public information contributing to claims that China is developing a mass surveillance system.
Recommendation: Users should always remain vigilant about the information they are putting out into the public, and avoid posting personal or sensitive information online.

US Criminal Court Hit by Conti Ransomware; Critical Data at Risk
(published: September 11, 2020)
The Fourth District Court of Louisiana, part of the US criminal court system, appears to have become the latest victim of the Conti ransomware. The court's website was attacked and used to steal numerous court documents related to defendants, jurors, and witnesses, and then install the Conti ransomware. Evidence of the data theft was posted to the dark web. Analysis of the malware by Emsisoft’s threat analyst, Brett Callow, indicates that the ransomware deployed in the attack was Conti, which has code similarity to another ransomware strain, Ryuk. The Conti group, believed to be behind this ransomware as a service, is sophisticated and due to the fact that they receive a large portion of the ransoms paid, they are motivated to avoid detections and continue to develop advanced attacking tools. This attack also used the Trickbot malware in its exploit chain, similar to that used by Ryuk campaigns.
Recommendation: Defense in Depth, including vulnerability remediation and scanning, monitoring, endpoint protection, backups, etc. is key to thwarting increasingly sophisticated attacks. Ransomware attacks are particularly attractive to attackers due to the fact that each successful ransomware attack allows for multiple streams of income. The attackers can not only extort a ransom to decrypt the victim's files (especially in cases where the victim finds they do not have appropriate disaster recovery plans), but they can also monetize the exfiltrated data directly and/or use the data to aid in future attacks. This technique is increasingly used in supply chain compromises to build difficult to detect spearphishing attacks.

‘Baka’ Javascript Skimmer Identified
(published: September 6, 2020)
Visa have issued a security alert based on identification of a new skimmer, named “Baka”. Based on analysis by Visa Payment Fraud Disruption, the skimmer appears to be more advanced, loading dynamically and using an XOR cipher for obfuscation. The attacks behind Baka are injecting it into checkout pages using a script tag, with the skimming code downloading from the Command and Control (C2) server and executing in memory to steal customer data.
Recommendation: eCommerce site owners must take every step necessary to secure their data and safeguard their payment card information. Visa has also released best practices in the security advisory.

Netwalker Ransomware Hits Argentinian Government, Demands $4 Million
(published: September 6, 2020)
The Argentinian immigration agency, Dirección Nacional de Migaciones suffered a ransomware attack that shut down border crossings. After receiving many tech support calls, the computer networks were shut down to prevent further spread of the ransomware, which led to a cecission in border crossings until systems were up again. The ransomware used in this attack is Netwalker ransomware, that left a ransom note demanding initalling $2 million, however when this wasn’t paid in the first week, the ransom increased to $4 million.
Recommendation: Ransomware can potentially be blocked by using endpoint protection solutions (HIDS). Always keep your important files backed up following the 3-2-1 rule: have at least 3 different copies, on 2 different mediums, with 1 off-site. In the case of ransomware infection, the affected system must be wiped and reformatted. Other devices on the network should be checked for similar infections. Always check for a decryptor before considering payment; avoid payment at all costs. Ransomware should be reported to law enforcement agencies who are doing their best to track these actors and prevent ransom from being a profitable business for cyber criminals.

2019-07-25 13:00:00 | Can you trust threat intelligence from threat sharing communities? | AT&T ThreatTraq (lien direct) | Every week the AT&T Chief Security Office produces a series called ThreatTraq with helpful information and news commentary for InfoSec practitioners and researchers. I really enjoy them; you can subscribe to the Youtube channel to stay updated. This is a transcript of a recent feature on ThreatTraq. The video features Jaime Blasco, VP and Chief Scientist, AlienVault, Stan Nurilov, Lead Member of Technical Staff, AT&T, and Joe Harten, Director Technical Security. Stan: Jaime. I think you have a very interesting topic today about threat intelligence. Jaime: Yes, we want to talk about how threat intelligence is critical for threat detection and incident response, but then when this threat intelligence and the threat actors try to match those indicators and that information that is being shared, it can actually be bad for companies. So we are going to share some of the experiences we have had with managing the Open Threat Exchange (OTX) - one of the biggest threat sharing communities out there. Stan: Jaime mentioned that they have so many threat indicators and so much threat intelligence as part of OTX, the platform. Jaime: We know attackers monitor these platforms and are adjusting tactics and techniques and probably the infrastructure based on public reaction to cyber security companies sharing their activities in blog posts and other reporting. An example is in September 2017, we saw APT28, and it became harder to track because we were using some of the infrastructure and some of the techniques that were publicly known. And another cyber security company published content about that and then APT28 became much more difficult to track. The other example is APT1. If you remember the APT1 report in 2013 that Mandiant published, that made the group basically disappear from the face of earth, right? We didn't see them for a while and then they changed the infrastructure and they changed a lot of the tools that they were using, and then they came back in 2014. So we can see that that threat actor disappeared for a while, changed and rebuilt, and then they came back. We also know that attackers can try to publish false information in this platform, so that's why it's important that not only those platforms are automated, but also there are human analysts that can verify that information. Joe: It seems like you have to have a process of validating the intelligence, right? I think part of it is you don't want to take this intelligence at face value without having some expertise of your own that asks, is this valid? Is this a false positive? Is this planted by the adversary in order to throw off the scent? I think it's one of those things where you can't automatically trust - threat intelligence. You have to do some of your own diligence to validate the intelligence, make sure it makes sense, make sure it's still fresh, it's still good. This is something we're working on internally - creating those other layers to validate and create better value of our threat intelligence. Jaime: The other issue I wanted to bring to the table is what we call false flag operations - that's when an adversary or a threat actor studies another threat actor and tries to emulate their behavior.

arrière-plan
Avec des tensions géopolitiques croissantes au Moyen-Orient, nous nous attendons à ce que l'Iran augmente considérablement le volume et la portée de ses campagnes de cyber-espionnage.L'Iran a un besoin critique d'intelligence stratégique et est susceptible de combler cette lacune en effectuant un espionnage contre les décideurs et les organisations clés qui peuvent avoir des informations qui renforcent les objectifs économiques et de sécurité nationale de l'Iran.L'identification de nouveaux logiciels malveillants et la création d'une infrastructure supplémentaire pour permettre de telles campagnes met en évidence l'augmentation du tempo de ces opérations à l'appui des intérêts iraniens.

The identification of new malware and the creation of additional infrastructure to enable such campaigns highlights the increased tempo of these operations in support of Iranian interests. Fi |
