2023-08-29 10:00:00 | Lutte contre les logiciels malveillants dans la chaîne d'approvisionnement industrielle Battling malware in the industrial supply chain (lien direct) |
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. Here\'s how organizations can eliminate content-based malware in ICS/OT supply chains. As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) landscape expands, ICS and OT networks are more connected than ever to various enterprise systems and cloud services. This new level of connectivity, while offering benefits, also paves the way for targeted and supply chain attacks, making them easier to carry out and broadening their potential effects. A prominent example of supply chain vulnerability is the 2020 SolarWinds Orion breach. In this sophisticated attack: Two distinct types of malware, "Sunburst" and "Supernova," were secretly placed into an authorized software update. Over 17,000 organizations downloaded the update, and the malware managed to evade various security measures. Once activated, the malware connected to an Internet-based command and control (C2) server using what appeared to be a harmless HTTPS connection. The C2 traffic was cleverly hidden using steganography, making detection even more challenging. The threat actors then remotely controlled the malware through their C2, affecting up to 200 organizations. While this incident led to widespread IT infiltration, it did not directly affect OT systems. In contrast, other attacks have had direct impacts on OT. In 2014, a malware known as Havex was hidden in IT product downloads and used to breach IT/OT firewalls, gathering intelligence from OT networks. This demonstrated how a compromised IT product in the supply chain could lead to OT consequences. Similarly, in 2017, the NotPetya malware was concealed in a software update for a widely-used tax program in Ukraine. Though primarily affecting IT networks, the malware caused shutdowns in industrial operations, illustrating how a corrupted element in the supply chain can have far-reaching effects on both IT and OT systems. These real-world incidents emphasize the multifaceted nature of cybersecurity risks within interconnected ICS/OT systems. They serve as a prelude to a deeper exploration of specific challenges and vulnerabilities, including: Malware attacks on ICS/OT: Specific targeting of components can disrupt operations and cause physical damage. Third-party vulnerabilities: Integration of third-party systems within the supply chain can create exploitable weak points. Data integrity issues: Unauthorized data manipulation within ICS/OT systems can lead to faulty decision-making. Access control challenges: Proper identity and access management within complex environments are crucial. Compliance with best practices: Adherence to guidelines such as NIST\'s best practices is essential for resilience. Rising threats in manufacturing: Unique challenges include intellectual property theft and process disruptions. Traditional defenses are proving inadequate, and a multifaceted strategy, including technologies like Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR), is required to safeguard these vital systems. Supply chain defense: The power of content disarm and reconstruction Content Disarm and Reconstruction (CDR) is a cutting-edge technology. It operates on a simple, yet powerful premise based on the Zero Trust principle: all files could be malicious. What does CDR do? In the complex cybersecurity landscape, CDR stands as a unique solution, transforming the way we approach file safety. Sanitizes and rebuilds files: By treating every file as potentially harmful, CDR ensures they are safe for use while mainta | Malware Vulnerability Threat Industrial Cloud | NotPetya Wannacry Solardwinds | ★★ |

2022-07-11 10:00:00 | 5 Common blind spots that make you vulnerable to supply chain attacks (lien direct) | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. Over the past several years, hackers have gone from targeting only companies to also targeting their supply chain. One area of particular vulnerability is company software supply chains, which are becoming an increasingly common method of gaining access to valuable business information. A study by Gartner predicted that by 2025, 45% of companies will have experienced a supply chain attack. Supply chain attacks can come in various ways, whether by malicious code injected into enterprise software or vulnerabilities in software your company uses. To mitigate this risk, companies must learn about the methods used to execute attacks and understand their company’s blind spots. This article will look at 5 recent software supply chain attacks and how third-party partners can pose a security risk to your company. We’ll make recommendations for how to secure your business against supply chain attacks and how you can engage in early detection to respond to threats before they take down your enterprise. What is a software supply chain attack? The CISA or US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency defines a software supply chain attack as an attack that “occurs when a cyber threat actor infiltrates a software vendor’s network and employs malicious code to compromise the software before the vendor sends it to their customers. The compromised software then compromises the customer’s data or system.” A software supply chain includes any company you purchase software from and any open-source software and public repositories from which your developers pull code. It also includes any service organizations that have access to your data. In the aggregate, all of these different suppliers exponentially increase the surface area of a potential attack. Software supply chain attacks are particularly dangerous because the software supply chain acts as an amplifier for hackers. This means that when one vendor is impacted, hackers can potentially reach any of their customers, giving them greater reach than if they attacked a single target corporation. Two primary reasons contribute to the danger, according to CISA: Third-party software products usually require privileged access; They often require frequent communication between the vendor’s own network and the vendor’s software on customer networks. Attackers leverage privileged access and a privileged network access channel as their first point of access. Depending on the level of available access, attackers can easily target many devices and levels of an organization. Some industries, like healthcare, are of particular vulnerability because they possess huge volumes of patient data subject to strict compliance regulations and laws. Five major supply chain attacks In recent memory, software supply chain attacks have gathered increased attention from the public because of how damaging they can be to a company and its reputation. The Log4j vulnerability demonstrated just how vulnerable companies can be to relying on third-party software, for example. Other high-profile attacks like the SolarWinds SUNBURST attack and Kaseya VSA (REvil) attack also provided painful reminders of how damaging supply chain attacks can be. The SolarWinds SUNBURST backdoor On December 13th, 2020, the SUNBURST backdoor was first disclosed. The attack utilized the popular SolarWinds Orion IT monitorin | Ransomware Data Breach Vulnerability Threat Patching | Solardwinds | |

Hydra Malware Targets Customers of Germany's Second Largest Bank
(published: October 1, 2021)
A new campaign leveraging the Hydra banking trojan has been discovered by researchers. The malware containing an Android application impersonates the legitimate application for Germany's largest bank, Commerzbank. While Hydra has been seen for a number of years, this new campaign incorporates many new features, including abuse of the android accessibility features and permissions which give the application the ability to stay running and hidden with basically full administrator privileges over a victim's phone. It appears to be initially spread via a website that imitates the official Commerzbank website. Once installed it can spread via bulk SMS messages to a user's contacts.
Analyst Comment: Applications, particularly banking applications, should only be installed from trusted and verified sources and reviewed for suspicious permissions they request. Similarly, emails and websites should be verified before using.
