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. The supply chain, already fragile in the USA, is at severe and significant risk of damage by cyberattacks. According to research analyzed by Forbes, supply chain attacks now account for a huge 62% of all commercial attacks, a clear indication of the scale of the challenge faced by the supply chain and the logistics industry as a whole. There are solutions out there, however, and the most simple of these concerns a simple upskilling of supply chain professionals to be aware of cybersecurity systems and threats. In an industry dominated by the need for trust, this is something that perhaps can come naturally for the supply chain. Building trust and awareness At the heart of a successful supply chain relationship is trust between partners. Building that trust, and securing high quality business partners, relies on a few factors. Cybersecurity experts and responsible officers will see some familiarity - due diligence, scrutiny over figures, and continuous monitoring. In simple terms, an effective framework of checking and rechecking work, monitored for compliance on all sides. These factors are a key part of new federal cybersecurity rules, according to news agency Reuters. Among other measures are a requirement for companies to have rigorous control over system patching, and measures that would require cloud hosted services to identify foreign customers. These are simple but important steps, and give a hint to supply chain businesses as to what they should be doing; putting in measures to monitor, control, and enact compliance on cybersecurity threats. That being said, it can be the case that the software isn’t in place within individual businesses to ensure that level of control. The right tools, and the right personnel, is also essential. The importance of software Back in April, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre released details of specific threats made by Russian actors against business infrastructure in the USA and UK. Highlighted in this were specific weaknesses in business systems, and that includes in hardware and software used by millions of businesses worldwide. The message is simple - even industry standard software and devices have their problems, and businesses have to keep track of that. There are two arms to ensure this is completed. Firstly, the business should have a cybersecurity officer in place whose role it is to monitor current measures and ensure they are kept up to date. Secondly, budget and time must be allocated at an executive level firstly to promote networking between the business and cybersecurity firms, and between partner businesses to ensure that even cybersecurity measures are implemented across the chain. Utilizing AI There is something of a digital arms race when it comes to artificial intelligence. As ZDNet notes, the lack of clear regulation is providing a lot of leeway for malicious actors to innovate, but for businesses to act, too. While regulations are now coming in, it remains that there is a clear role for AI in prevention. According t | Threat Cloud | APT 28 ChatGPT | ★★ |

[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 |

[Watch Your Back] New Fake Chrome Update Error Attack Targets Your Users
Compromised websites (legitimate sites that have been successfully compromised to support social engineering) are serving visitors fake Google Chrome update error messages.
"Google Chrome users who use the browser regularly should be wary of a new attack campaign that distributes malware by posing as a Google Chrome update error message," Trend Micro warns. "The attack campaign has been operational since February 2023 and has a large impact area."
The message displayed reads, "UPDATE EXCEPTION. An error occurred in Chrome automatic update. Please install the update package manually later, or wait for the next automatic update." A link is provided at the bottom of the bogus error message that takes the user to what\'s misrepresented as a link that will support a Chrome manual update. In fact the link will download a ZIP file that contains an EXE file. The payload is a cryptojacking Monero miner.
A cryptojacker is bad enough since it will drain power and degrade device performance. This one also carries the potential for compromising sensitive information, particularly credentials, and serving as staging for further attacks.
This campaign may be more effective for its routine, innocent look. There are no spectacular threats, no promises of instant wealth, just a notice about a failed update. Users can become desensitized to the potential risks bogus messages concerning IT issues carry with them.
Informed users are the last line of defense against attacks like these. New school security awareness training can help any organization sustain that line of defense and create a strong security culture.

[Finger on the Pulse]: How Phishers Leverage Recent AI Buzz
Curiosity leads people to suspend their better judgment as a new campaign of credential theft exploits a person\'s excitement about the newest AI systems not yet available to the general public. On Tuesday morning, April 11th, Veriti explained that several unknown actors are making false Facebook ads which advertise a free download of AIs like ChatGPT and Google Bard.
Veriti writes "These posts are designed to appear legitimate, using the buzz around OpenAI language models to trick unsuspecting users into downloading the files. However, once the user downloads and extracts the file, the Redline Stealer (aka RedStealer) malware is activated and is capable of stealing passwords and downloading further malware onto the user\'s device."
Veriti describes the capabilities of the Redline Stealer malware which, once downloaded, can take sensitive information like credit card numbers, passwords, and personal information like user location, and hardware. Veriti added "The malware can upload and download files, execute commands, and send back data about the infected computer at regular intervals."
Experts recommend using official Google or OpenAI websites to learn when their products will be available and only downloading files from reputable sources. With the rising use of Google and Facebook ads as attack vectors experts also suggest refraining from clicking on suspicious advertisements promising early access to any product on the Internet.
Employees can be helped to develop sound security habits like these by stepping them through monthly social engineering simulations.

Attackers have used such attacks in the past ranging from RobbinHood, Uroburos, Derusbi, GrayFish, and Sauron, to campaigns by the threat actor STRONTIUM. As a Microsoft blog in 2020 pointed out, if a computer had HVCI enabled, it would be able to defend itself against vulnerable and malicious drivers.

2022-08-18 08:00:00 | Ukraine and the fragility of agriculture security (lien direct) |  By Joe Marshall.The war in Ukraine has had far-reaching global implications and one of the most immediate effects felt will be on the global supply chain for food. This war-induced fragility has exposed the weaknesses of how we feed ourselves globally. Ransomware cartels and other adversaries are well aware of this and are actively exploiting that fragility. For the past six years, Cisco Talos has been actively involved in assisting public and private institutions in Ukraine to defend themselves against state-sponsored actors. Our involvement stretches the gamut from commercial to critical infrastructure, to election security. Our presence has afforded us unique opportunities and observations about cybersecurity in a macro and micro way. Ukraine has been a frequent victim of state-sponsored cyber attacks aimed at critical infrastructures like power and transportation. Talos is proud to stand with our partners in Ukraine and help defend their critical networks and help users there maintain access to necessary services. Now that Russia has invaded Ukraine, those threats have escalated to kinetic attacks that are wreaking havoc on a critical element of our world: agriculture and our global food supply chain. Even worse is the implications this war will have for future cyber attacks, as fragility is considered a lucrative element in deciding victimology by threat actors like ransomware cartels. To truly grasp the implications of the war in Ukraine, we have to examine how vital Ukrainian agriculture feeds the world, the current state of affairs, and what this means for the global cybersecurity posture to protect agricultural assets. Where there is weakness, there is opportunityRansomware cartels and their affiliates are actively targeting the agricultural industry. Moreover, these actors have done their homework and are targeting agricultural companies during the two times of the year where they cannot suffer disruptions: planting and harvesting. Per the published FBI PIN Alert: “Cyber actors may perceive cooperatives as lucrative targets with a willingness to pay due to the time-sensitive role they play in agricultural production.” This is far from unusual for these adversaries - they are shrewd and calculating, and understand their victims' weaknesses and industries.

SharpTongue Deploys Clever Mail-Stealing Browser Extension “SHARPEXT”
(published: July 28, 2022)
Volexity researchers discovered SharpExt, a new malicious browser app used by the North-Korea sponsored Velvet Chollima (Kimsuky, SharpTongue, Thallium) group. SharpExt inspects and exfiltrates data from a victim's webmail (AOL or Gmail) account as they browse it. Velvet Chollima continues to add new features to the app, the latest known version (3.0) supports three browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Whale, the latter almost exclusively used in South Korea. Following the initial compromise, Velvet Chollima deploy SharpExt and to avoid warning the victim they manually exfiltrate settings files to change the settings and generate a valid "super_mac" security check value. They also hide the newly opened DevTools window and any other warning windows such as a warning regarding extensions running in developer mode.
Analyst Comment: Velvet Chollima is known for its tactic of deploying malicious browser extensions, but in the past it was concentrating on stealing credentials instead of emails. The group continues aggressive cyberespionage campaigns exfiltrating military and industrial technologies from Europe, South Korea, and the US. Network defenders should monitor for suspicious instances of PowerShell execution, as well as for traffic to and from known Velvet Chollima infrastructure (available in Anomali Match).

Lockbit Ransomware Disguised as Copyright Claim E-mail Being Distributed
(published: June 24, 2022)
ASEC researchers have released their analysis of a recent phishing campaign, active since February 2022. The campaign aims to infect users with Lockbit ransomware, using the pretense of a copyright claim as the phishing lure. The phishing email directs the recipient to open the attached zip file which contains a pdf of the infringed material. In reality, the pdf is a disguised NSIS executable which downloads and installs Lockbit. The ransomware is installed onto the desktop for persistence through desktop change or reboot. Prior to data encryption, Lockbit will delete the volume shadow copy to prevent data recovery, in addition to terminating a variety of services and processes to avoid detection.
Analyst Comment: Never click on suspicious attachments or run any executables from suspicious emails. Copyright infringement emails are a common phishing lure. Such emails will be straight forward to rectify if legitimate. If a copyright email is attempting to coerce you into opening attachments, such emails should be treated with extreme caution.

There is More Than One Way To Sleep: Deep Dive into the Implementations of API Hammering by Various Malware Families
(published: June 24, 2022)
Researchers at Palo Alto Networks have released their analysis of new BazarLoader and Zloader samples that utilize API Hammering as a technique to evade sandbox detection. API Hammering makes use of a large volume of Windows API calls to delay the execution of malicious activity to trick sandboxes into thinking the malware is benign. Whilst BazarLoader has utilized the technique in the past, this new variant creates large loops of benign API using a new process. Encoded registry keys within the malware are used for the calls and the large loop count is created from the offset of the first null byte of the first file in System32 directory. Zloader uses a different form of API Hammering to evade sandbox detection. Hardcoded within Zloader are four large functions with many smaller functions within. Each function makes an input/output (I/O) call to mimic the behavior of many legitimate processes.
Analyst Comment: Defense in depth is the best defense against sophisticated malware. The Anomali Platform can assist in detection of malware and Match anomalous activity from all telemetry sources to provide the complete picture of adversary activity within your network.

Mobile Subscription Trojans and Their Little Tricks
(published: May 6, 2022)
Kaspersky researchers analyzed five Android trojans that are secretly subscribing users to paid services. Jocker trojan operators add malicious code to legitimate apps and re-upload them to Google Store under different names. To avoid detection, malicious functionality won’t start until the trojan checks that it is available in the store. The malicious payload is split in up to four files. It can block or substitute anti-fraud scripts, and modify X-Requested-With header in an HTTP request. Another Android malware involved in subscription fraud, MobOk trojan, has additional functionality to bypass captcha. MobOk was seen in a malicious app in Google Store, but the most common infection vector is being spread by other Trojans such as Triada.
Analyst Comment: Limit your apps to downloads from the official stores (Google Store for Android), avoid new apps with low number of downloads and bad reviews. Pay attention to the terms of use and payment. Avoid granting it too many permissions if those are not crucial to the app alleged function. Monitor your balance and subscription list.

SocGholish and Zloader – From Fake Updates and Installers to Owning Your Systems
(published: April 25, 2022)
Cybereason researchers have compared trending attacks involving SocGholish and Zloader malware. Both infection chains begin with social engineering and malicious downloads masquerading as legitimate software, and both lead to data theft and possible ransomware installation. SocGholish attacks rely on drive-by downloads followed by user execution of purported browser installer or browser update. The SocGholish JavaScript payload is obfuscated using random variable names and string manipulation. The attacker domain names are written in reverse order with the individual string characters being put at the odd index positions. Zloader infection starts by masquerading as a popular application such as TeamViewer. Zloader acts as information stealer, backdoor, and downloader. Active since 2016, Zloader actively evolves and has acquired detection evasion capabilities, such as excluding its processes from Windows Defender and using living-off-the-land (LotL) executables.
Analyst Comment: All applications should be carefully researched prior to installing on a personal or work machine. Applications that request additional permissions upon installation should be carefully vetted prior to allowing permissions. Additionally, all applications, especially free versions, should only be downloaded from trusted vendors.

Lazarus Targets Chemical Sector
(published: April 14, 2022)
In January 2022, Symantec researchers discovered a new wave of Operation Dream Job. This operation, attributed to the North Korea-sponsored group Lazarus, utilizes fake job offers via professional social media and email communications. With the new wave of attacks, Operation Dream Job switched from targeting the defense, government, and engineering sectors to targeting South Korean organizations operating within the chemical sector. A targeted user executes an HTM file sent via a link. The HTM file is copied to a DLL file to be injected into the legitimate system management software. It downloads and executes the final backdoor: a trojanized version of the Tukaani project LZMA Utils library (XZ Utils) with a malicious export added (AppMgmt). After the initial access, the attackers gain persistence via scheduled tasks, move laterally, and collect credentials and sensitive information.
Analyst Comment: Organizations should train their users to recognize social engineering attacks including those posing as “dream job” proposals. Organizations facing cyberespionage threats should implement a defense-in-depth approach: layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes.
