For years, the Proofpoint Cloud Research team has been particularly focused on the constantly changing landscape of cloud malware threats. While precise future predictions remain elusive, a retrospective examination of 2023 enabled us to discern significant shifts and trends in threat actors\' behaviors, thereby informing our projections for the developments expected in 2024. There is no doubt that one of the major, and most concerning, trends observed in 2023 was the increased adoption of malicious and abused OAuth applications by cybercriminals and state-sponsored actors. In January, Microsoft announced they, among other organizations, were targeted by a sophisticated nation-state attack. It seems that the significant impact of this attack, which was attributed to TA421 (AKA Midnight Blizzard and APT29), largely stemmed from the strategic exploitation of pre-existing OAuth applications, coupled with the creation of new malicious applications within compromised environments. Adding to a long list of data breaches, this incident emphasizes the inherent potential risk that users and organizations face when using inadequately protected cloud environments. Expanding on early insights shared in our 2021 blog, where we first explored the emerging phenomenon of application creation attacks and armed with extensive recent discoveries, we delve into the latest developments concerning this threat in our 2024 update. In this blog, we will: Define key fundamental terms pertinent to the realm of cloud malware and OAuth threats. Examine some of the current tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) employed by threat actors as part of their account-takeover (ATO) kill chain. Provide specific IOCs related to recently detected threats and campaigns. Highlight effective strategies and solutions to help protect organizations and users against cloud malware threats. Basic terminology OAuth (Open Authorization) 2.0. OAuth is an open standard protocol that enables third-party applications to access a user\'s data without exposing credentials. It is widely used to facilitate secure authentication and authorization processes. Line-of-business (LOB) applications. LOB apps (also known as second-party apps) typically refer to applications created by a user within their cloud environment in order to support a specific purpose for the organization. Cloud malware. A term usually referring to malicious applications created, utilized and proliferated by threat actors. Malicious apps can be leveraged for various purposes, such as: mailbox access, file access, data exfiltration, internal reconnaissance, and maintaining persistent access to specific resources. MACT (Malicious Applications Created in Compromised Credible Tenants). A common technique wherein threat actors create new applications within hijacked environments, exploiting unauthorized access to compromised accounts to initiate additional attacks and establish a persistent foothold within impacted cloud tenants. Apphish. A term denoting the fusion of cloud apps-based malware with phishing tactics, mainly by utilizing OAuth 2.0 infrastructure to implement open redirection attacks. Targeted users could be taken to a designated phishing webpage upon clicking an app\'s consent link. Alternatively, redirection to a malicious webpage could follow authorizing or declining an application\'s consent request. Abused OAuth applications. Benign apps that are authorized or used by attackers, usually following a successful account takeover, to perform illegitimate activities. What we are seeing Already in 2020, we witnessed a rise in malicious OAuth applications targeting cloud users, with bad actors utilizing increasingly sophisticated methods such as application impersonation and diverse lures. In October 2022, Proofpoint researchers demonstrated how different threat actors capitalized on the global relevance of the COVID-19 pandemic to spread malware and phishing threats. Proofpoint has also seen this trend include the propagation of malicious OAuth applications seamlessly integ | Malware Threat Prediction Cloud | APT 29 | ★★★ |

Russian Cyberattacks Pose Greater Risk to Governments and Other Insights from Our Annual Report
(published: October 7, 2021)
Approximately 58% of all nation-state attacks observed by Microsoft between July 2020 and June 2021 have been attributed to the Russian-sponsored threat groups, specifically to Cozy Bear (APT29, Nobelium) associated with the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). The United States, Ukraine, and the UK were the top three targeted by them. Russian Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors increased their effectiveness from a 21% successful compromise rate to a 32% rate comparing year to year. They achieve it by starting an attack with supply-chain compromise, utilizing effective tools such as web shells, and increasing their skills with the cloud environment targeting. Russian APTs are increasingly targeting government agencies for intelligence gathering, which jumped from 3% of their targets a year ago to 53% – largely agencies involved in foreign policy, national security, or defense. Following Russia by the number of APT cyberattacks were North Korea (23%), Iran (11%), and China (8%).
Analyst Comment: As the collection of intrusions for potential disruption operations via critical infrastructure attacks became too risky for Russia, it refocused back to gaining access to and harvesting intelligence. The scale and growing effectiveness of the cyberespionage requires a defence-in-depth approach and tools such as Anomali Match that provide real-time forensics capability to identify potential breaches and known actor attributions.

Ransomware in the CIS
(published: October 7, 2021)
Many prominent ransomware groups have members located in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) - and they avoid targeting this region. Still, businesses in the CIS are under the risk of being targeted by dozens of lesser-known ransomware groups. Researchers from Kaspersky Labs have published a report detailing nine business-oriented ransomware trojans that were most active in the CIS in the first half of 2021. These ransomware families are BigBobRoss (TheDMR), Cryakl (CryLock), CryptConsole, Crysis (Dharma), Fonix (XINOF), Limbozar (VoidCrypt), Phobos (Eking), Thanos (Hakbit), and XMRLocker. The oldest, Cryakl, has been around since April 2014, and the newest, XMRLocker, was first detected in August 2020. Most of them were mainly distributed via the cracking of Remote Deskto |
