First-Ever Attack Leveraging Kubernetes RBAC to Backdoor Clusters
(published: April 21, 2023)
A new Monero cryptocurrency-mining campaign is the first recorded case of gaining persistence via Kubernetes (K8s) Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), according to Aquasec researchers. The recorded honeypot attack started with exploiting a misconfigured API server. The attackers preceded by gathering information about the cluster, checking if their cluster was already deployed, and deleting some existing deployments. They used RBAC to gain persistence by creating a new ClusterRole and a new ClusterRole binding. The attackers then created a DaemonSet to use a single API request to target all nodes for deployment. The deployed malicious image from the public registry Docker Hub was named to impersonate a legitimate account and a popular legitimate image. It has been pulled 14,399 times and 60 exposed K8s clusters have been found with signs of exploitation by this campaign.
Analyst Comment: Your company should have protocols in place to ensure that all cluster management and cloud storage systems are properly configured and patched. K8s buckets are too often misconfigured and threat actors realize there is potential for malicious activity. A defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) approach is a good mitigation step to help prevent actors from highly-active threat groups.

3CX Software Supply Chain Compromise Initiated by a Prior Software Supply Chain Compromise; Suspected North Korean Actor Responsible
(published: April 20, 2023)
Investigation of the previously-reported 3CX supply chain compromise (March 2023) allowed Mandiant researchers to detect it was a result of prior software supply chain attack using a trojanized installer for X_TRADER, a software package provided by Trading Technologies. The attack involved the publicly-available tool SigFlip decrypting RC4 stream-cipher and starting publicly-available DaveShell shellcode for reflective loading. It led to installation of the custom, modular VeiledSignal backdoor. VeiledSignal additional modules inject the C2 module in a browser process instance, create a Windows named pipe and |

Xenomorph V3: a New Variant with ATS Targeting More Than 400 Institutions
(published: March 10, 2023)
Newer versions of the Xenomorph Android banking trojan are able to target 400 applications: cryptocurrency wallets and mobile banking from around the World with the top targeted countries being Spain, Turkey, Poland, USA, and Australia (in that order). Since February 2022, several small, testing Xenomorph campaigns have been detected. Its current version Xenomorph v3 (Xenomorph.C) is available on the Malware-as-a-Service model. This trojan version was delivered using the Zombinder binding service to bind it to a legitimate currency converter. Xenomorph v3 automatically collects and exfiltrates credentials using the ATS (Automated Transfer Systems) framework. The command-and-control traffic is blended in by abusing Discord Content Delivery Network.
Analyst Comment: Fraud chain automation makes Xenomorph v3 a dangerous malware that might significantly increase its prevalence on the threat landscape. Users should keep their mobile devices updated and avail of mobile antivirus and VPN protection services. Install only applications that you actually need, use the official store and check the app description and reviews. Organizations that publish applications for their customers are invited to use Anomali's Premium Digital Risk Protection service to discover rogue, malicious apps impersonating your brand that security teams typically do not search or monitor.

OPWNAI : Cybercriminals Starting to Use ChatGPT
(published: January 6, 2023)
Check Point researchers have detected multiple underground forum threads outlining experimenting with and abusing ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), the revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot tool capable of generating creative responses in a conversational manner. Several actors have built schemes to produce AI outputs (graphic art, books) and sell them as their own. Other actors experiment with instructions to write an AI-generated malicious code while avoiding ChatGPT guardrails that should prevent such abuse. Two actors shared samples allegedly created using ChatGPT: a basic Python-based stealer, a Java downloader that stealthily runs payloads using PowerShell, and a cryptographic tool.
Analyst Comment: ChatGPT and similar tools can be of great help to humans creating art, writing texts, and programming. At the same time, it can be a dangerous tool enabling even low-skill threat actors to create convincing social-engineering lures and even new malware.

Turla: A Galaxy of Opportunity
(published: January 5, 2023)
Russia-sponsored group Turla re-registered expired domains for old Andromeda malware to select a Ukrainian target from the existing victims. Andromeda sample, known from 2013, infected the Ukrainian organization in December 2021 via user-activated LNK file on an infected USB drive. Turla re-registered the Andromeda C2 domain in January 2022, profiled and selected a single victim, and pushed its payloads in September 2022. First, the Kopiluwak profiling tool was downloaded for system reconnaissance, two days later, the Quietcanary backdoor was deployed to find and exfiltrate files created in 2021-2022.
Analyst Comment: Advanced groups are often utilizing commodity malware to blend their traffic with less sophisticated threats. Turla’s tactic of re-registering old but active C2 domains gives the group a way-in to the pool of existing targets. Organizations should be vigilant to all kinds of existing infections and clean them up, even if assessed as “less dangerous.” All known network and host-based indicators and hunting rules associated |
