Cyber Skills Launches during an urgent Cyber Security Crisis for Ireland We are living through a digital revolution and as we watch the world shift most of its systems online, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our data, systems and identities are vulnerable. Whilst we have a growing IT industry, technology rapidly changes and updates leaving all our Industries, from Finance, Industry 4.0, Healthcare etc in a skills gap for Cyber Security. Welcome to Cyber Skills Munster Technological University has officially launched Cyber Skills, a new collaborative initiative that address the critical skills shortage of cybersecurity professionals in Ireland – that can be scaled out Internationally. Cyber Skills was awarded a significant amount of funding of €8.1 million from the Human Capital Initiative programme from the Higher Authority of Ireland. Cyber Skills academic partners include Technological University Dublin, University of Limerick, University College Dublin, and the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative based in Virginia Tech in the US. By collaborating with academic institutions the initiative can keep ahead of cyber-criminals in a fast-changing technological environment. Professor Donna O\'Shea, Chairwoman of Cyber Security at MTU, is the project lead for the initiative. As an expert in Cyber Security, Donna feels: “Cybersecurity professionals are a company\'s best line of defence in a threat landscape that has become increasingly complex.” Cyber Skills works closely with Industry in order to gain insights into the needs of the Cyber Security workplace. This is to ensure that pathways, modules and credentials are designed in a way that targets up-skilling and re-skilling efficiently in order to produce workplace-ready graduates. Cyber Skills at its core has a mission of empowering IT professionals to up skill themselves flexibly. There is a strong awareness of how busy life has become for most people which is why Cyber Skills is incorporating fully online delivery and the use of the first Cyber Range in Ireland where learners can test their new skills. An added benefit is that these innovative delivery methods mean these programmes can be scaled regionally, nationally, and even internationally. What highlights the necessity for Cyber Skills is the eagerness of Industry partners to link with the initiative. Dell Technologies and Mastercard have come on board and are helping to develop three academic pathways which include certificates in Secure Network Operations, Secure Software Development, and Secure Software Architecture. Their staff are some of the first students to come on to Cyber Skills and will be some of the first graduates of the pathways. The Launch Cyber Skills hosted its official launch, virtually on June 1st at 10:30am. The hour-long launch came live from the VE Studios Cork where industry partners, cyber security researchers and university project partners took the viewer through the importance of addressing cyber skills shortages in Ireland and the benefits this project will have to industry both nationally and internationally. The launch was hosted by Professor Donna O\'Shea joined by Dr. Eoin Byrne, Cluster Manager of Cyber Ireland. Eoin led the first panel discussion with project partners Prof. Joseph Walsh Munster Technological University, Dr. Anthony Keane TU Dublin, Dr. Thomas Newe University of Limerick and Dr. Ray Genoe University College Dublin. The MC for the event was Cyber Skills Project Manager Jacqueline Kehoe. The agenda included fireside chats and panel discussions with project partners, Bob Savage from Dell and Brendan Gormley from Mastercard. There was also a fireside chat with Vivienne Patterson Head of Skills and Engagement at Higher Education Authority.

Bogus Android Clubhouse App Drops Credential-Swiping Malware
(published: March 19, 2021)
Researchers are warning of a fake version of the popular audio chat app Clubhouse, which delivers malware that steals login credentials for more than 450 apps. Clubhouse has burst on the social media scene over the past few months, gaining hype through its audio-chat rooms where participants can discuss anything from politics to relationships. Despite being invite-only, and only being around for a year, the app is closing in on 13 million downloads. The app is only available on Apple's App Store mobile application marketplace - though plans are in the works to develop one.
Analyst Comment: Use only the official stores to download apps to your devices. Be wary of what kinds of permissions you grant to applications. Before downloading an app, do some research.

Trojanized Xcode Project Slips XcodeSpy Malware to Apple Developers
(published: March 18, 2021)
Researchers from cybersecurity firm SentinelOne have discovered a malicious version of the legitimate iOS TabBarInteraction Xcode project being distributed in a supply-chain attack. The malware, dubbed XcodeSpy, targets Xcode, an integrated development environment (IDE) used in macOS for developing Apple software and applications. The malicious project is a ripped version of TabBarInteraction, a legitimate project that has not been compromised. Malicious Xcode projects are being used to hijack developer systems and spread custom EggShell backdoors.
Analyst Comment: Researchers attribute this new targeting of Apple developers to North Korea and Lazarus group: similar TTPs of compromising developer supply chain were discovered in January 2021 when North Korean APT was using a malicious Visual Studio project. Moreover, one of the victims of XcodeSpy is a Japanese organization regularly targeted by North Korea. A behavioral detection solution is required to fully detect the presence of XcodeSpy payloads.

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.

‘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.
