## Snapshot Last week\'s OSINT reporting reveals a landscape dominated by complex, multi-layered attacks targeting critical infrastructure, financial sectors, and cloud environments. Nation-state actors, like China\'s Flax Typhoon and Iran\'s UNC1860, leverage botnets, IoT exploits, and sophisticated backdoors to infiltrate government, military, and industrial targets. The emergence of groups such as Earth Baxia highlights the continued exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-36401 and spear-phishing tactics in the Asia-Pacific region. Meanwhile, cybercriminals, including SCATTERED SPIDER (Octo Tempest) and those behind the Lumma Stealer campaigns, utilize social engineering, fake CAPTCHA pages, and WebDAV for malware distribution to evade detection and deploy ransomware and infostealers. Exploits underscore the increasing use of open-source vulnerabilities, with attackers targeting a diverse range of industries, including IT, telecommunications, and finance. These attacks highlight evolving tactics, advanced persistence mechanisms, and stealthy malware being used to target sensitive data globally. ## Description 1. [Raptor Train Botnet Operated by Flax Typhoon](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/9118dcb6): Black Lotus Labs uncovered the massive Raptor Train botnet, operated by Chinese nation-state group Flax Typhoon. This IoT botnet, consisting of compromised routers, cameras, and other devices, has targeted U.S. and Taiwanese entities across sectors like military and government, making it one of the largest Chinese state-sponsored botnets to date. 2. [Exploitation of GeoServer Vulnerability (CVE-2024-36401)](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/e7a82171): Threat actors are exploiting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in GeoServer to deliver malware such as GOREVERSE, SideWalk, and CoinMiner. Campaigns have targeted IT, telecom, and government sectors across multiple countries, using sophisticated backdoors and botnets to compromise systems. 3. [WebDAV Used to Distribute Emmenthal Loader](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/6dec4139): Cybercriminals are using WebDAV servers to distribute the Emmenthal loader (aka PeakLight), which delivers infostealers via malicious .lnk files. This infrastructure is likely part of a larger cybercrime operation offering infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and its stealthy, memory-only execution technique poses a significant threat to global cybersecurity. 4. [Iran\'s UNC1860 Targets Middle Eastern Networks](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/e882507d): Mandiant assesses UNC1860 is likely linked to Iran\'s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and focuses on persistent access to government and telecom organizations in the Middle East. The group leverages sophisticated tools, such as TEMPLEPLAY and VIROGREEN, and exploits internet-facing servers to evade detection. 5. [Cuckoo Spear Campaign Tied to APT10](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/8f34c36c): Cybereason discovered the "Cuckoo Spear" campaign, attributed to APT10, targeting Japanese manufacturing and political sectors. The attackers used advanced tools like LODEINFO and NOOPLDR to maintain long-term espionage operations, employing tactics like DLL side-loading and phishing. 6. [PondRAT Campaign Linked to North Korean Group](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/906408c8): Unit 42 identified the PondRAT campaign, attributed to Gleaming Pisces (Citrine Sleet), which targets Linux and macOS systems through infected PyPI packages. The goal is to compromise the supply chain, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector, by delivering backdoor malware to developers\' machines. 7. [Phishing Campaign Distributes Lumma Stealer](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/3cb5d189): A phishing campaign abuses GitHub repositories by filing false security vulnerability reports to lure users into downloading the Lumma Stealer malware.
