[Heads Up] Employees Are Feeding Sensitive Biz Data to ChatGPT, Raising Security Fears
Robert Lemos at DARKReading just reported on a worrying trend. The title said it all, and the news is that more than 4% of employees have put sensitive corporate data into the large language model, raising concerns that its popularity may result in massive leaks of proprietary information. Yikes.
I'm giving you a short extract of the story and the link to the whole article is below.
"Employees are submitting sensitive business data and privacy-protected information to large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, raising concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) services could be incorporating the data into their models, and that information could be retrieved at a later date if proper data security isn't in place for the service.
"In a recent report, data security service Cyberhaven detected and blocked requests to input data into ChatGPT from 4.2% of the 1.6 million workers at its client companies because of the risk of leaking confidential info, client data, source code, or regulated information to the LLM.
"In one case, an executive cut and pasted the firm's 2023 strategy document into ChatGPT and asked it to create a PowerPoint deck. In another case, a doctor input his patient's name and their medical condition and asked ChatGPT to craft a letter to the patient's insurance company.
"And as more employees use ChatGPT and other AI-based services as productivity tools, the risk will grow, says Howard Ting, CEO of Cyberhaven.
"'There was this big migration of data from on-prem to cloud, and the next big shift is going to be the migration of data into these generative apps," he says. "And how that plays out [remains to be seen] - I think, we're in pregame; we're not even in the first inning.'"
Your employees need to be stepped through new-school security awareness training so that they understand the risks of doing things like this.

MQsTTang: Mustang Panda’s Latest Backdoor Treads New Ground with Qt and MQTT
(published: March 2, 2023)
In early 2023, China-sponsored group Mustang Panda began experimenting with a new custom backdoor dubbed MQsTTang. The backdoor received its name based on the attribution and the unique use of the MQTT command and control (C2) communication protocol that is typically used for communication between IoT devices and controllers. To establish this protocol, MQsTTang uses the open source QMQTT library based on the Qt framework. MQsTTang is delivered through spearphishing malicious link pointing at a RAR archive with a single malicious executable. MQsTTang was delivered to targets in Australia, Bulgaria, Taiwan, and likely some other countries in Asia and Europe.
Analyst Comment: Mustang Panda is likely exploring this communication protocol in an attempt to hide its C2 traffic. Defense-in-depth approach should be used to stop sophisticated threats that evolve and utilize various techniques of defense evasion. Sensitive government sector workers should be educated on spearphishing threats and be wary of executable files delivered in archives.

WinorDLL64: A Backdoor From The Vast Lazarus Arsenal?
(published: February 23, 2023)
When the Wslink downloader (WinorLoaderDLL64.dll) was first discovered in 2021, it had no known payload and no known attribution. Now ESET researchers have discovered a Wslink payload dubbed WinorDLL64. This backdoor uses some of Wslink functions and the Wslink-established TCP connection encrypted with 256-bit AES-CBC cipher. WinorDLL64 has some code similarities with the GhostSecret malware used by North Korea-sponsored Lazarus Group.
Analyst Comment: Wslink and WinorDLL64 use a well-developed cryptographic protocol to protect the exchanged data. Innovating advanced persistent groups like Lazarus often come out with new versions of their custom malware. It makes it important for network defenders to leverage the knowledge of a wider security community by adding relevant premium feeds and leveraging the controls automation via Anomali Platform integrations.

2023-02-27 11:00:00 | Integrating Cybersecurity in UX design (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. Image Source: Pexels Integrating Cybersecurity in UX design The digital landscape has ensured a wider range of businesses has access to a truly global marketplace. On one hand, this helps bolster a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. However, it also means there is a significant amount of competition. If your company’s website or mobile application doesn’t provide a stellar user experience (UX), consumers are able and willing to go elsewhere. Yet, in the online environment, UX is not your only consideration. There are various threats your business and consumers face from cyber criminals. Therefore, when developing your online tools, you need to adopt effective protections. Unfortunately, many businesses struggle with implementing strong security that doesn’t also disrupt the UX. Your best approach here is usually to integrate cybersecurity with UX design. So, let’s explore why and how you can achieve this. How are UX and Cybersecurity related? One of the mistakes too many businesses make is assuming that UX and cybersecurity are separate aspects of the digital infrastructure. They can certainly have independent intentions to an extent with different goals and actions to achieve these goals. Yet, understanding how they are closely related is the first step to effective integration. In some ways one can’t — or, at least, shouldn’t — exist without the other. A good example of this is the application of web design in high-stakes sectors, like telehealth care. There are two core types of telehealth services; asynchronous care and synchronous (live) care. While there is a difference here in how patients interact with the medical professional, both types involve the collection and storage of sensitive data. It’s certainly important from a UX perspective to make both asynchronous and live processes as simple and convenient as possible for patients. Yet, this simplicity shouldn’t sacrifice the security of the data. Clear and strong security protocols give consumers confidence in the system and the company they’re interacting with. This applies to not just healthcare industries but also eCommerce, education, and supply chain sectors, among others. Similarly, consumers may be more likely to adopt more secure behaviors if they can see how it feeds into the convenience and enjoyment of their experience. This means that the UX development process must involve security considerations from the ground up, rather than as an afterthought. How can you plan effectively? As with any project, planning is essential to the successful integration of cybersecurity and UX design. An improvisatory approach that involves tacking security or UX elements onto your site or app doesn’t result in a strong development. Wherever possible, your best route is to bring both the UX departments and cybersecurity professionals together in the planning process from the outset. Each department will have insights into one another’s challenges that benefit the project as a whole. Another key part of your planning process is researching and analyzing your users’ behavior concerning the types of online tools you’re developing. Work with business analytics professionals to understand in what ways security factors into your target demographic’s preferred online experiences. | Tool Medical | ★★ | |

In August-November 2022, North Korea-sponsored group Lazarus has been engaging in cyberespionage operations targeting defense, engineering, healthcare, manufacturing, and research organizations. The group has shifted their infrastructure from using domains to be solely IP-based. For initial compromise the group exploited known vulnerabilities in unpatched Zimbra mail servers (CVE-2022-27925 and CVE-2022-37042). Lazarus used off the shelf malware (Cobalt Strike, JspFileBrowser, JspSpy webshell, and WSO webshell), abused legitimate Windows and Unix tools (such as Putty SCP), and tools for proxying (3Proxy, Plink, and Stunnel). Two custom malware unique to North Korea-based advanced persistent threat actors were a new Grease version that enables RDP access on the host, and the Dtrack infostealer.
Analyst Comment: Organizations should keep their mail server and other publicly-facing systems always up-to-date with the latest security features. Lazarus Group cyberespionage attacks are often accompanied by stages of multi-gigabyte exfiltration traffic. Suspicious connections and events should be monitored, detected and acted upon. Use the available YARA signatures and known indicators.

2023-02-06 11:00:00 | The ethics of biometric data use in security (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. In a world where you can scan the veins in your hand to unlock a smartphone, how do you maintain control over personal data? Biometric authentication, the use of distinctive human features like iris patterns, fingerprints and even gait in lieu of a password, is gaining ground in the tech world. Proponents tout its inherent, hard-to-replicate qualities as a security benefit, while detractors see the same features as an invasion of privacy. Both sides may be right. The problems with biometrics Unlike a password, you can’t forget your face at home. But also, unlike a password, you can’t reset your face — meaning you’re out of luck if someone steals a photo of it. In 2016, a biometrics researcher helped investigators hack into a murder victim’s phone with only a photo of the man’s fingerprint. While security systems are getting more advanced all the time, current technology also allows cybercriminals to run wild with a single piece of biometric data, accessing everything from laptop logins to bank accounts. By its very nature, biometric authentication requires third parties to store biometric data. What happens if the information is exposed? In addition to potential hacking, breaching people’s personal data might reveal something they’d rather keep private. Vein patterns could reveal that a person has a vascular disorder, raising their insurance premiums. Fingerprints could expose a chromosomal disease. True, people give this same information to their doctors, and a medical data breach could have the same repercussions. But handing off biometric data to a commercial company — which isn’t bound by HIPAA or sworn to do no harm — is a much grayer area. Another issue that occasionally plagues biometric authentication is injuries and natural bodily changes. A single paper cut can derail a fingerprint scanner, and an aging eye throws iris scanners for a loop. People will have to update their photos every few years to remind the system what they look like. Some facial recognition programs can even predict how long a person will live. Insurance companies have expressed interest in getting hold of this data, since the way a person ages says a lot about their health. If stolen biometric data fed into an algorithm predicts a person won’t make it past 50, will their employer pass them up for a promotion? In the event of an accident, your family won’t easily be able to access your accounts if you use biometric authentication, since it’s not as simple as writing down a list of passwords. Maybe that’s a good thing — but maybe not. Another ethical dilemma with biometric data use is identifying people without their consent. Most people are used to being on camera at the grocery store, but if that same camera snaps a photo without permission and stores it for later retrieval, they probably won’t be too happy. Some people point out that you have no right to privacy in a public space, and that’s true — to an extent. But where do you draw the line between publicity and paparazzi? Is it OK to snap a stranger’s photo while you’re talking to them, or is that considered rude and intrusive? The benefits of biometric data Of course, no one would be handing off a photo of their face if the | Data Breach Hack Prediction Medical | ★★ | |

Russian advanced persistent threat (APT) group Sandworm used ransomware programs to destroy data multiple times over the past six months while North Korea's Lazarus group used infrastructure previously associated with a ransomware group for intelligence gathering campaigns.At the same time, some Chinese APTs that were traditionally targeting entities in Asia shifted their focus to European companies, while Iran-based groups that traditionally targeted Israeli companies started going after their foreign subsidiaries. At least one North Korean group that was focused on South Korea and Russia has started using English in its operations. All these operational changes suggest organizations and companies from Western countries are at increased risk from APT activity.To read this article in full, please click here | Ransomware Threat Medical | APT 38 | ★★ |

Chinese PlugX Malware Hidden in Your USB Devices?
(published: January 26, 2023)
Palo Alto researchers analyzed a PlugX malware variant (KilllSomeOne) that spreads via USB devices such as floppy, thumb, or flash drives. The variant is used by a technically-skilled group, possibly by the Black Basta ransomware. The actors use special shortcuts, folder icons and settings to make folders impersonating disks and a recycle bin directory. They also name certain folders with the 00A0 (no-break space) Unicode character thus hindering Windows Explorer and the command shell from displaying the folder and all the files inside it.
Analyst Comment: Several behavior detections could be used to spot similar PlugX malware variants: DLL side loading, adding registry persistence, and payload execution with rundll32.exe. Incidents responders can check USB devices for the presence of no-break space as a folder name.
