## Snapshot Last week\'s OSINT reporting highlighted diverse cyber threats involving advanced attack vectors and highly adaptive threat actors. Many reports centered on APT groups like Patchwork, Sparkling Pisces, and Transparent Tribe, which employed tactics such as DLL sideloading, keylogging, and API patching. The attack vectors ranged from phishing emails and malicious LNK files to sophisticated malware disguised as legitimate software like Google Chrome and Microsoft Teams. Threat actors targeted a variety of sectors, with particular focus on government entities in South Asia, organizations in the U.S., and individuals in India. These campaigns underscored the increased targeting of specific industries and regions, revealing the evolving techniques employed by cybercriminals to maintain persistence and evade detection. ## Description 1. [Twelve Group Targets Russian Government Organizations](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/5fd0ceda): Researchers at Kaspersky identified a threat group called Twelve, targeting Russian government organizations. Their activities appear motivated by hacktivism, utilizing tools such as Cobalt Strike and mimikatz while exfiltrating sensitive information and employing ransomware like LockBit 3.0. Twelve shares infrastructure and tactics with the DARKSTAR ransomware group. 2. [Kryptina Ransomware-as-a-Service Evolution](https://security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/2a16b748): Kryptina Ransomware-as-a-Service has evolved from a free tool to being actively used in enterprise attacks, particularly under the Mallox ransomware family, which is sometimes referred to as FARGO, XOLLAM, or BOZON. The commoditization of ransomware tools complicates malware tracking as affiliates blend different codebases into new variants, with Mallox operators opportunistically targeting \'timely\' vulnerabilities like MSSQL Server through brute force attacks for initial access. 3. [North Korean IT Workers Targeting Tech Sector:](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/bc485b8b) Mandiant reports on UNC5267, tracked by Microsoft as Storm-0287, a decentralized threat group of North Korean IT workers sent abroad to secure jobs with Western tech companies. These individuals disguise themselves as foreign nationals to generate revenue for the North Korean regime, aiming to evade sanctions and finance its weapons programs, while also posing significant risks of espionage and system disruption through elevated access. 4. [Necro Trojan Resurgence](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/00186f0c): Kaspersky\'s Secure List reveals the resurgence of the Necro Trojan, impacting both official and modified versions of popular applications like Spotify and Minecraft, and affecting over 11 million Android devices globally. Utilizing advanced techniques such as steganography to hide its payload, the malware allows attackers to run unauthorized ads, download files, and install additional malware, with recent attacks observed across countries like Russia, Brazil, and Vietnam. 5. [Android Spyware Campaign in South Korea:](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/e4645053) Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL) uncovered a new Android spyware campaign targeting individuals in South Korea since June 2024, which disguises itself as legitimate apps and leverages Amazon AWS S3 buckets for exfiltration. The spyware effectively steals sensitive data such as SMS messages, contacts, images, and videos, while remaining undetected by major antivirus solutions. 6. [New Variant of RomCom Malware:](https://sip.security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/159819ae) Unit 42 researchers have identified "SnipBot," a new variant of the RomCom malware family, which utilizes advanced obfuscation methods and anti-sandbox techniques. Targeting sectors such as IT services, legal, and agriculture since at least 2022, the malware employs a multi-stage infection chain, and researchers suggest the threat actors\' motives might have s | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Patching Mobile | ChatGPT APT 36 | ★★ |
