Introduction In mid 2024, Mandiant discovered threat actors deployed custom backdoors on Juniper Networks\' Junos OS routers. Mandiant attributed these backdoors to the China-nexus espionage group, UNC3886. Mandiant uncovered several TINYSHELL-based backdoors operating on Juniper Networks\' Junos OS routers. The backdoors had varying custom capabilities, including active and passive backdoor functions, as well as an embedded script that disables logging mechanisms on the target device. Mandiant worked with Juniper Networks to investigate this activity and observed that the affected Juniper MX routers were running end-of-life hardware and software. Mandiant recommends that organizations upgrade their Juniper devices to the latest images released by Juniper Networks, which includes mitigations and updated signatures for the Juniper Malware Removal Tool (JMRT). Organizations should run the JMRT Quick Scan and Integrity Check after the upgrade. Mandiant has reported on similar custom malware ecosystems in 2022 and 2023 that UNC3886 deployed on virtualization technologies and network edge devices. This blog post showcases a development in UNC3886\'s tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), and their focus on malware and capabilities that enable them to operate on network and edge devices, which typically lack security monitoring and detection solutions, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) agents. Mandiant previously reported on UNC3886\'s emphasis on techniques to gather and use legitimate credentials to move laterally within a network, undetected. These objectives remained consistent but were pursued with the introduction of a new tool in 2024. Observations in this blog post strengthen our assessment that the actor\'s focus is on maintaining long-term access to victim networks. UNC3886 continues to show a deep understanding of the underlying technology of the appliances being targeted. At the time of writing, Mandiant has not identified any technical overlaps between activities detailed in this blog post and those publicly reported by other parties as Volt Typhoon or Salt Typhoon. Attribution UNC3886 is a highly adept China-nexu |

## Snapshot Microsoft has observed several notable cyber and influence trends from China and North Korea since June 2023 that demonstrate not only doubling down on familiar targets, but also attempts to use more sophisticated influence techniques to achieve their goals. Chinese cyber actors broadly selected three target areas over the last seven months. - One set of Chinese actors extensively targeted entities across the South Pacific Islands. - A second set of Chinese activity continued a streak of cyberattacks against regional adversaries in the South China Sea region. - Meanwhile, a third set of Chinese actors compromised the US defense industrial base. Chinese influence actors-rather than broadening the geographic scope of their targets-honed their techniques and experimented with new media. Chinese influence campaigns continued to refine AI-generated or AI-enhanced content. The influence actors behind these campaigns have shown a willingness to **both amplify AI-generated media that benefits their strategic narratives, as well as create their own video, memes, and audio content**. Such tactics have been used in campaigns stoking divisions within the United States and exacerbating rifts in the Asia-Pacific region-including Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. These campaigns achieved varying levels of resonance with no singular formula producing consistent audience engagement. North Korean cyber actors made headlines for **increasing software supply chain attacks and cryptocurrency heists over the past year**. While strategic spear-phishing campaigns targeting researchers who study the Korean Peninsula remained a constant trend, North Korean threat actors appeared to make greater use of legitimate software to compromise even more victims. ## Activity Overview ### Chinese cyber operations target strategic partners and competitors #### Gingham Typhoon targets government, IT, and multinational entities across the South Pacific Islands **** *Figure 1: Observed events from Gingham Typhoon from June 2023 to January 2024 highlights their continued focus on South Pacific Island nations. However, much of this targeting has been ongoing, reflecting a yearslong focus on the region. Geographic locations and diameter of symbology are representational. * During the summer of 2023, Microsoft Threat Intelligence observed extensive activity from China-based espionage group Gingham Typhoon that targeted nearly every South Pacific Island country. Gingham Typhoon is the most active actor in this region, hitting international organizations, government entities, and the IT sector with complex phishing campaigns. Victims also included vocal critics of the Chinese government. Diplomatic allies of China who were victims of recent Gingham Typhoon activity include executive offices in government, trade-related departments, internet service providers, as well as a transportation entity. Heightened geopolitical and diplomatic competition in the region may be motivations for these offensive cyber activities. China pursues strategic partnerships with South Pacific Island nations to expand economic ties and broker diplomatic and security agreements. Chinese cyber espionage in this region also follows economic partners. For example, Chinese actors engaged in large-scale targeting of multinational organizations in Papua New Guinea, a longtime diplomatic partner that is benefiting from multiple Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects including the construction of a major highway which links a Papua New Guinea government building to the capital city\'s main road.

Since the initial disclosure of CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887 on Jan. 10, 2024, Mandiant has conducted multiple incident response engagements across a range of industry verticals and geographic regions. Mandiant\'s previous blog post, Cutting Edge, Part 3: Investigating Ivanti Connect Secure VPN Exploitation and Persistence Attempts, details zero-day exploitation of CVE-2024-21893 and CVE-2024-21887 by a suspected China-nexus espionage actor that Mandiant tracks as UNC5325. This blog post, as well as our previous reports detailing Ivanti exploitation, help to underscore the different types of activity that Mandiant has observed on vulnerable Ivanti Connect Secure appliances that were unpatched or did not have the appropriate mitigation applied. Mandiant has observed different types of post-exploitation activity across our incident response engagements, including lateral movement supported by the deployment of open-source tooling and custom malware families. In addition, we\'ve seen these suspected China-nexus actors evolve their understanding of Ivanti Connect Secure by abusing appliance-specific functionality to achieve their objectives. As of April 3, 2024, a patch is readily available for every supported version of Ivanti Connect Secure affected by the vulnerabilities. We recommend that customers follow Ivanti\'s latest patching guidance and instructions to prevent further exploitation activity. In addition, Ivanti released a new enhanced external integrity checker tool (ICT) to detect potential attempts of malware persistence across factory resets and system upgrades and other tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) observed in the wild. We also released a remediation and hardening guide |

In the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, 2023 witnessed a dramatic surge in the sophistication of cyber threats and malware. AT&T Cybersecurity Alien Labs reviewed the big events of 2023 and how malware morphed this year to try new ways to breach and wreak havoc. This year\'s events kept cybersecurity experts on their toes, from expanding malware variants to introducing new threat actors and attack techniques. Here are some of the most compelling developments, highlighting malware\'s evolving capabilities and the challenges defenders face. Highlights of the year: Emerging trends and notable incidents As the year unfolded, several trends and incidents left an indelible mark on the cybersecurity landscape: Exploiting OneNote for malicious payloads Cybercriminals leveraged Microsoft OneNote to deliver many malicious payloads to victims, including Redline, AgentTesla, Quasar RAT, and others. This previously underutilized Office program became a favored tool due to its low suspicion and widespread usage. SEO poisoning and Google Ads Malicious actors resorted to SEO poisoning tactics, deploying phishing links through Google Ads to deceive unsuspecting victims. These links led to cloned, benign web pages, avoiding Google\'s detection and remaining active for extended periods. Prominent malware families, including Raccoon Stealer and IcedID, capitalized on this strategy. Exploiting geopolitical events Cybercriminals exploited the geopolitical climate, particularly the Middle East conflict, as a lure for their attacks. This trend mirrored the previous year\'s Ukraine-related phishing campaigns and crypto scams. APTs: State-sponsored espionage continues to present challenges Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) continued to pose a significant threat in 2023: Snake: CISA reported on the Snake APT, an advanced cyber-espionage tool associated with the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB). This malware had been in use for nearly two decades. Volt Typhoon: A campaign targeting critical infrastructure organizations in the United States was attributed to Volt Typhoon, a state-sponsored actor based in China. Their focus lay on espionage and information gathering. Storm-0558: This highly sophisticated intrusion campaign, orchestrated by the Storm-0558 APT from China, infiltrated the email accounts of approximately 25 organizations, including government agencies. Ransomware\'s relentless rise Ransomware remained a prevalent and lucrative threat throughout the year: Cuba and Snatch: Ransomware groups like Cuba and Snatch targeted critical infrastructure in the United States, causing concern for national security. ALPHV/BlackCat: Beyond SEO poisoning, this group compromised the computer systems of Caesar and MGM casinos. They also resorted to filing complaints with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against their victims, applying additional pressure to pay ransoms. Exploiting new vulnerabilities: Cybercriminals wasted no time exploiting newly discovered vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2023-22518 in Atlassian\'s Confluence, CVE-2023-4966 (Citrix bleed), and others. These vulnerabilities became gateways for ransomware attacks. Evolving ransom | Ransomware Spam Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Prediction | Guam | ★★★ |

Force Shadow est une menace qui cible les organisations sud-coréennes depuis 2013. Il cible principalement les serveurs Windows.Les chercheurs d'AHNLAB ont analysé l'activité du groupe en 2020-2022.Les activités de force fantôme sont relativement faciles à détecter car les acteurs ont tendance à réutiliser les mêmes noms de fichiers pour leurs logiciels malveillants.Dans le même temps, le groupe a évolué: après mars, ses fichiers dépassent souvent 10 Mo en raison de l'emballage binaire.Les acteurs ont également commencé à introduire divers mineurs de crypto-monnaie et une nouvelle porte dérobée surnommée Viticdoor.
Commentaire de l'analyste: Les organisations doivent garder leurs serveurs à jour et correctement configurés avec la sécurité à l'esprit.Une utilisation et une surchauffe du processeur inhabituellement élevées peuvent être un signe du détournement de ressources malveillantes pour l'exploitation de la crypto-monnaie.Les indicateurs basés sur le réseau et l'hôte associés à la force fantôme sont disponibles dans la plate-forme Anomali et il est conseillé aux clients de les bloquer sur leur infrastructure.

[Eye on Fraud] A Closer Look at the Massive 72% Spike in Financial Phishing Attacks
With attackers knowing financial fraud-based phishing attacks are best suited for the one industry where the money is, this massive spike in attacks should both surprise you and not surprise you at all.
When you want tires, where do you go? Right – to the tire store. Shoes? Yup – shoe store. The most money you can scam from a single attack? That\'s right – the financial services industry, at least according to cybersecurity vendor Armorblox\'s 2023 Email Security Threat Report.
According to the report, the financial services industry as a target has increased by 72% over 2022 and was the single largest target of financial fraud attacks, representing 49% of all such attacks. When breaking down the specific types of financial fraud, it doesn\'t get any better for the financial industry:
51% of invoice fraud attacks targeted the financial services industry
42% were payroll fraud attacks
63% were payment fraud
To make matters worse, nearly one-quarter (22%) of financial fraud attacks successfully bypassed native email security controls, according to Armorblox. That means one in five email-based attacks made it all the way to the Inbox.
The next layer in your defense should be a user that\'s properly educated using security awareness training to easily identify financial fraud and other phishing-based threats, stopping them before they do actual damage.
