à Black Hat USA 2023, une session dirigée par une équipe de chercheurs en sécurité, dont Fredrik Heiding, Bruce Schneier, Arun Vishwanath et Jeremy Bernstein, ont dévoilé une expérience intrigante.Ils ont testé de grands modèles de langue (LLM) pour voir comment ils ont fonctionné à la fois dans l'écriture de courriels de phishing convaincants et les détecter.Ceci est le PDF document technique . L'expérience: l'élaboration des e-mails de phishing L'équipe a testé quatre LLM commerciaux, y compris le chatppt de l'Openai \\, Bard de Google \\, Claude \\ de Google et Chatllama, dans des attaques de phishing expérimentales contre les étudiants de Harvard.L'expérience a été conçue pour voir comment la technologie de l'IA pouvait produire des leurres de phishing efficaces. Heriding, chercheur à Harvard, a souligné qu'une telle technologie a déjà eu un impact sur le paysage des menaces en facilitant la création de courriels de phishing.Il a dit: "GPT a changé cela. Vous n'avez pas besoin d'être un orateur anglais natif, vous n'avez pas besoin de faire beaucoup. Vous pouvez entrer une invite rapide avec seulement quelques points de données." L'équipe a envoyé des e-mails de phishing offrant des cartes-cadeaux Starbucks à 112 étudiants, en comparant Chatgpt avec un modèle non AI appelé V-Triad.Les résultats ont montré que l'e-mail V-Triad était le plus efficace, avec un taux de clic de 70%, suivi d'une combinaison V-Triad-Chatgpt à 50%, Chatgpt à 30% et le groupe témoin à 20%. Cependant, dans une autre version du test, Chatgpt a fonctionné beaucoup mieux, avec un taux de clic de près de 50%, tandis que la combinaison V-Triad-Chatgpt a mené avec près de 80%.Heriding a souligné qu'un LLM non formé et à usage général a pu créer rapidement des attaques de phishing très efficaces. Utilisation de LLMS pour la détection de phishing La deuxième partie de l'expérience s'est concentrée sur l'efficacité des LLM pour déterminer l'intention des e-mails suspects.L'équipe a utilisé les e-mails de Starbucks de la première partie de l'expérience et a demandé aux LLM de déterminer l'intention, qu'elle ait été composée par un humain ou une IA, d'identifier tout aspect suspect et d'offrir des conseils sur la façon de répondre. Les résultats étaient à la fois surprenants et encourageants.Les modèles avaient des taux de réussite élevés dans l'identification des e-mails marketing, mais ont eu des difficultés avec l'intention des e-mails de phishing V-Triad et Chatgpt.Ils se sont mieux comportés lorsqu'ils sont chargés d'identifier le contenu suspect, les résultats de Claude \\ étant mis en évidence pour non seulement pour obtenir des résultats élevés dans les tests de détection mais aussi fournir des conseils judicieux pour les utilisateurs. La puissance de phishing de LLMS Dans l'ensemble, Heriding a conclu que les LLMS prêtesété formé sur toutes les données de sécurité.Il a déclaré: "C'est vraiment quelque chose que tout le monde peut utiliser en ce moment.

[Heads Up] Massive Impersonation Phishing Campaign Imitates Over 100 Brands and Thousands of Domains
A year-long phishing campaign has been uncovered that impersonates 100+ popular clothing, footwear, and apparel brands using at least 10 fake domains impersonating each brand.
We\'ve seen plenty of attacks that impersonated a single brand along with a few domains used to ensure victims can be taken to a website that seeks to harvest credentials or steal personal information. But I don\'t think an attack of such magnitude as the one identified by security researchers at Internet security monitoring vendor Bolster.
According to Bolster, the 13-month long campaign used over 3000 live domains (and another 3000+ domains that are no longer in use) to impersonate over 100 well-known brands. We\'re talking about brands like Nike, Guess, Fossil, Tommy Hilfiger, Skechers, and many more. Some of the domains have even existed long enough to be displayed at the top of natural search results.
And these sites are very well made; so much so that they mimic their legitimate counterparts enough that visitors are completing online shopping visits, providing credit card and other payment details.
The impersonation seen in this widespread attack can just as easily be used to target corporate users with brands utilized by employees; all that\'s needed is to put the time and effort into building out a legitimate enough looking impersonated website and create a means to get the right users to visit said site (something most often accomplished through phishing attacks).
This latest impersonation campaign makes the case for ensuring users are vigilant when interacting with the web – something accomplished through continual Security Awareness Training.

[Eyes Open] The FTC Reveals the Latest Top Five Text Message Scams
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has published a data spotlight outlining the most common text message scams. Phony bank fraud prevention alerts were the most common type of text scam last year. "Reports about texts impersonating banks are up nearly tenfold since 2019 with median reported individual losses of $3,000 last year," the report says.
These are the top five text scams reported by the FTC:
Copycat bank fraud prevention alerts
Bogus "gifts" that can cost you
Fake package delivery problems
Phony job offers
Not-really-from-Amazon security alerts
"People get a text supposedly from a bank asking them to call a number ASAP about suspicious activity or to reply YES or NO to verify whether a transaction was authorized. If they reply, they\'ll get a call from a phony \'fraud department\' claiming they want to \'help get your money back.\' What they really want to do is make unauthorized transfers.
"What\'s more, they may ask for personal information like Social Security numbers, setting people up for possible identity theft."
Fake gift card offers took second place, followed by phony package delivery problems. "Scammers understand how our shopping habits have changed and have updated their sleazy tactics accordingly," the FTC says. "People may get a text pretending to be from the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, or UPS claiming there\'s a problem with a delivery.
"The text links to a convincing-looking – but utterly bogus – website that asks for a credit card number to cover a small \'redelivery fee.\'"
Scammers also target job seekers with bogus job offers in an attempt to steal their money and personal information. "With workplaces in transition, some scammers are using texts to perpetrate old-school forms of fraud – for example, fake \'mystery shopper\' jobs or bogus money-making offers for driving around with cars wrapped in ads," the report says.
"Other texts target people who post their resumes on employment websites. They claim to offer jobs and even send job seekers checks, usually with instructions to send some of the money to a different address for materials, training, or the like. By the time the check bounces, the person\'s money – and the phony \'employer\' – are long gone."
Finally, scammers impersonate Amazon and send fake security alerts to trick victims into sending money. "People may get what looks like a message from \'Amazon,\' asking to verify a big-ticket order they didn\'t place," the FTC says. "Concerned |

CyberheistNews Vol 13 #25 | June 20th, 2023
[Fingerprints All Over] Stolen Credentials Are the No. 1 Root Cause of Data Breaches
Verizon\'s DBIR always has a lot of information to unpack, so I\'ll continue my review by covering how stolen credentials play a role in attacks.
This year\'s Data Breach Investigations Report has nearly 1 million incidents in their data set, making it the most statistically relevant set of report data anywhere.
So, what does the report say about the most common threat actions that are involved in data breaches? Overall, the use of stolen credentials is the overwhelming leader in data breaches, being involved in nearly 45% of breaches – this is more than double the second-place spot of "Other" (which includes a number of types of threat actions) and ransomware, which sits at around 20% of data breaches.
According to Verizon, stolen credentials were the "most popular entry point for breaches." As an example, in Basic Web Application Attacks, the use of stolen credentials was involved in 86% of attacks. The prevalence of credential use should come as no surprise, given the number of attacks that have focused on harvesting online credentials to provide access to both cloud platforms and on-premises networks alike.
And it\'s the social engineering attacks (whether via phish, vish, SMiSh, or web) where these credentials are compromised - something that can be significantly diminished by engaging users in security awareness training to familiarize them with common techniques and examples of attacks, so when they come across an attack set on stealing credentials, the user avoids becoming a victim.

CyberheistNews Vol 13 #24 | June 13th, 2023
[The Mind\'s Bias] Pretexting Now Tops Phishing in Social Engineering Attacks
The New Verizon DBIR is a treasure trove of data. As we will cover a bit below, Verizon reported that 74% of data breaches Involve the "Human Element," so people are one of the most common factors contributing to successful data breaches. Let\'s drill down a bit more in the social engineering section.
They explained: "Now, who has received an email or a direct message on social media from a friend or family member who desperately needs money? Probably fewer of you. This is social engineering (pretexting specifically) and it takes more skill.
"The most convincing social engineers can get into your head and convince you that someone you love is in danger. They use information they have learned about you and your loved ones to trick you into believing the message is truly from someone you know, and they use this invented scenario to play on your emotions and create a sense of urgency. The DBIR Figure 35 shows that Pretexting is now more prevalent than Phishing in Social Engineering incidents. However, when we look at confirmed breaches, Phishing is still on top."
A social attack known as BEC, or business email compromise, can be quite intricate. In this type of attack, the perpetrator uses existing email communications and information to deceive the recipient into carrying out a seemingly ordinary task, like changing a vendor\'s bank account details. But what makes this attack dangerous is that the new bank account provided belongs to the attacker. As a result, any payments the recipient makes to that account will simply disappear.
BEC Attacks Have Nearly Doubled
It can be difficult to spot these attacks as the attackers do a lot of preparation beforehand. They may create a domain doppelganger that looks almost identical to the real one and modify the signature block to show their own number instead of the legitimate vendor.
Attackers can make many subtle changes to trick their targets, especially if they are receiving many similar legitimate requests. This could be one reason why BEC attacks have nearly doubled across the DBIR entire incident dataset, as shown in Figure 36, and now make up over 50% of incidents in this category.
Financially Motivated External Attackers Double Down on Social Engineering
Timely detection and response is crucial when dealing with social engineering attacks, as well as most other attacks. Figure 38 shows a steady increase in the median cost of BECs since 2018, now averaging around $50,000, emphasizing the significance of quick detection.
However, unlike the times we live in, this section isn\'t all doom and |

[Wake-Up Call] It\'s Time to Focus More on Preventing Spear Phishing
Fighting spear phishing attacks is the single best thing you can do to prevent breaches. Social engineering is involved in 70% to 90% of successful compromises. It is the number one way that all hackers and malware compromise devices and networks. No other initial root cause comes close (unpatched software and firmware is a distant second being involved in about 33% of attacks).
A new, HUGE, very important, fact has been gleaned by Barracuda Networks which should impact the way that EVERYONE does security awareness training. Everyone needs to know about this fact and react accordingly.
This is that fact: "...spear phishing attacks that use personalized messages... make up only 0.1% of all email-based attacks according to Barracuda\'s data but are responsible for 66% of all breaches."
Let that sink in for a moment.
What exactly is spear phishing? Spear phishing is when a social engineering attacker uses personal or confidential information they have learned about a potential victim or organization in order to more readily fool the victim into performing a harmful action. Within that definition, spear phishing can be accomplished in thousands of different ways, ranging from basic attacks to more advanced, longer-range attacks.
