## Snapshot Last week\'s OSINT reporting highlighted a broad array of cyber threats, with ransomware activity and espionage campaigns prominently featured. Russian and Chinese APT groups were particularly in the spotlight, with Aqua Blizzard targeting Ukrainian military personnel and Twill Typhoon affecting governments in Southeast Asia. RansomHub, a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) variant, and the newly emerged Repellent Scorpius also exploited known vulnerabilities and abused legitimate tools, employing double extortion tactics. Emerging malware, including infostealers like YASS and BLX Stealer, underscores the growing trend of targeting sensitive consumer data and cryptocurrency wallets, demonstrating the adaptability of threat actors in an evolving digital landscape. ## Description 1. [TIDRONE Targets Taiwanese Military](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/14a1a551): Trend Micro reports that the Chinese-speaking threat group, TIDRONE, has targeted Taiwanese military organizations, particularly drone manufacturers, since early 2024. Using advanced malware (CXCLNT and CLNTEND), the group infiltrates systems through ERP software or remote desktops, engaging in espionage. 2. [Predator Spyware Resurfaces with New Infrastructure](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/b0990b13): Insikt Group reports that Predator spyware, often used by government entities, has resurfaced in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. With upgraded infrastructure to evade detection, Predator targets high-profile individuals such as politicians and activists through one-click and zero-click attack vectors. 3. [Ransomware Affiliates Exploit SonicWall](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/07f23184): Akira ransomware affiliates exploited a critical SonicWall SonicOS vulnerability (CVE-2024-40766) to gain network access. Targeting firewalls, they bypassed security via local accounts, leading to breaches in organizations with disabled multifactor authentication. 4. [RansomHub Ransomware Threatens Critical Infrastructure](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/650541a8): RansomHub ransomware-as-a-service has attacked over 210 victims across critical infrastructure sectors since early 2024, using double extortion tactics. The group gains entry via phishing, CVE exploits, and password spraying, and exfiltrates data using tools like PuTTY and Amazon S3. 5. [YASS Infostealer Targets Sensitive Data](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/d056e554): Intezer discovered "Yet Another Silly Stealer" (YASS), a variant of CryptBot, deployed through a multi-stage downloader called “MustardSandwich.” YASS targets cryptocurrency wallets, browser extensions, and authentication apps, using obfuscation and encrypted communications to evade detection. 6. [WhatsUp Gold RCE Attacks](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/b89cbab7): Exploiting vulnerabilities in WhatsUp Gold (CVE-2024-6670, CVE-2024-6671), attackers executed PowerShell scripts via NmPoller.exe to deploy RATs like Atera Agent and Splashtop. These attacks highlight the risk of delayed patching and underscore the importance of monitoring vulnerable processes. 7. [Repellent Scorpius Expands RaaS Operations](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/1f424190): Unit 42 reports on the emerging ransomware group Repellent Scorpius, known for using Cicada3301 ransomware in double extortion attacks. The group recruits affiliates via Russian cybercrime forums and uses stolen credentials to execute attacks on various sectors globally. 8. [APT34\'s Advanced Malware Campaign](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/6289e51f): Check Point Research identified Iranian-linked APT34 targeting Iraqi government networks with sophisticated malware ("Veaty" and "Spearal"). Using DNS tunneling and backdoors, the group exploited email accounts for C2 communications, reflecting advanced espionage techniques. 9 | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Patching Prediction Cloud | APT 34 | ★★ |

2022-08-06 10:46:21 | CISO workshop slides (lien direct) | A glossy, nicely-constructed and detailed PowerPoint slide deck by Microsoft Security caught my beady this morning. The title 'CISO Workshop: Security Program and Strategy' with 'Your Name Here' suggests it might be a template for use in a workshop/course bringing CISOs up to speed on the governance, strategic and architectural aspects of information security, but in fact given the amount of technical detail, it appears to be aimed at informing IT/technology managers about IT or cybersecurity, specifically. Maybe it is intended for newly-appointed CISOs or more junior managers who aspire to be CISOs, helping them clamber up the pyramid (slide 87 of 142): | Malware Vulnerability Threat Patching Guideline Medical Cloud | Uber APT 38 APT 37 APT 28 APT 19 APT 15 APT 10 APT 34 Guam |
