## Weekly OSINT Highlights, 18 March 2024         Last week\'s OSINT reporting revealed a common theme: cyberattacks targeting specific user groups are becoming more sophisticated. Take, for instance, the Notion installer malware, which dupes users by posing as a legitimate software installer, showcasing adept social engineering. Similarly, the BIPClip campaign demonstrates a highly targeted approach towards developers involved in cryptocurrency projects, with the threat actors leveraging multiple open-source packages to steal sensitive mnemonic phrases. Despite distinct attack methods, both instances underscore threat actors\' adaptability in tailoring attacks to their targets. Additionally, the analysis highlights a growing trend where attackers focus on specific sectors or user demographics, indicating a shift towards more targeted and stealthy cyber threats rather than indiscriminate attacks. This trend underscores the importance of user vigilance and the necessity for industry-specific cybersecurity measures to mitigate evolving risks. 1. **[Notion Installer Malware](https://security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/f21ac4ec?):** A new MSIX malware posing as the Notion installer is distributed through a fake website resembling the official Notion homepage. The malware, signed with a valid certificate, infects Windows PCs when users attempt to install Notion, compromising their systems with malware. 2. **[BIPClip Crypto Wallet Theft Campaign](https://security.microsoft.com/intel-explorer/articles/21aa5484?):** ReversingLabs uncovered the BIPClip campaign, which utilizes seven open-source packages across 19 versions from PyPI to steal mnemonic phrases for crypto wallet recovery. The campaign targets developers involved in cryptocurrency wallet projects, particularly those implementing Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 39 (BIP39), and employs sophisticated methods to avoid detection. The BIPClip campaign underscores how crypto assets are one of the most popular targets of cybercriminal groups and other threat actors, such as North Korean APTs. ## Learn More For the latest security research from the Microsoft Threat Intelligence community, check out the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Blog: [https://aka.ms/threatintelblog](https://aka.ms/threatintelblog).

AI governance and preserving privacy
(lien direct)
AT&T Cybersecurity featured a dynamic cyber mashup panel with Akamai, Palo Alto Networks, SentinelOne, and the Cloud Security Alliance. We discussed some provocative topics around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) including responsible AI and securing AI. There were some good examples of best practices shared in an emerging AI world like implementing Zero Trust architecture and anonymization of sensitive data. Many thanks to our panelists for sharing their insights. Before diving into the hot topics around AI governance and protecting our privacy, let’s define ML and GenAI to provide some background on what they are and what they can do along with some real-world use case examples for better context on the impact and implications AI will have on our future. GenAI and ML  Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that relies on the development of algorithms to make decisions or predictions based on data without being explicitly programmed. It uses algorithms to automatically learn and improve from experience. GenAI is a subset of ML that focuses on creating new data samples that resemble real-world data. GenAI can produce new and original content through deep learning, a method in which data is processed like the human brain and is independent of direct human interaction. GenAI can produce new content based on text, images, 3D rendering, video, audio, music, and code and increasingly with multimodal capabilities can interpret different data prompts to generate different data types to describe an image, generate realistic images, create vibrant illustrations, predict contextually relevant content, answer questions in an informational way, and much more.    Real world uses cases include summarizing reports, creating music in a specific style, develop and improve code faster, generate marketing content in different languages, detect and prevent fraud, optimize patient interactions, detect defects and quality issues, and predict and respond to cyber-attacks with automation capabilities at machine speed. Responsible AI Given the power to do good with AI - how do we balance the risk and reward for the good of society? What is an organization’s ethos and philosophy around AI governance? What is the organization’s philosophy around the reliability, transparency, accountability, safety, security, privacy, and fairness with AI, and one that is human-centered? It\'s important to build each of these pillarsn into an organization\'s AI innovation and business decision-making. Balancing the risk and reward of innovating AI/ML into an organization\'s ecosystem without compromising social responsibility and damaging the company\'s brand and reputation is crucial. At the center of AI where personal data is the DNA of our identity in a hyperconnected digital world, privacy is a top priority. Privacy concerns with AI In Cisco’s 2023 consumer privacy survey, a study of over 2600 consumers in 12 countries globally, indicates consumer awareness of data privacy rights is continuing to grow with the younger generations (age groups under 45) exercising their Data Subject Access rights and switching providers over their privacy practices and policies.  Consumers support AI use but are also concerned. With those supporting AI for use: 48% believe AI can be useful in improving their lives  54% are willing to share anonymized personal data to improve AI products AI is an area that has some work to do to earn trust 60% of respondents believe the use of AI by organizations has already eroded trust in them 62% reported concerns about the business use of AI 72% of respondents indicated that having products and solutions aud Studies Prediction Cloud Technical ★★

Securonix Threat Research has been monitoring a trend known as batch (DOS) fuscation or DOSfuscation where an increased number of malware samples use obfuscated code contained within batch or DOS-based scripts. This trend was likely brought about when Microsoft made the decision to disable macro execution in Office products by default. Since then, there has been a rise in shortcut-based (.lnk file) execution coming from archived email attachments. Naturally, CMD obfuscation is the natural path as any passed in command line into a shortcut file will likely be primarily executed using cmd.exe as the initial process

AI is among the most disruptive technologies of our time. While AI/ML has been around for decades, it has become a hot topic with continued innovations in generative AI (GenAI) from start-up OpenAI to tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Meta. When large language models (LLMs) combined with big data and behavior analytics, AI/ML can supercharge productivity and scale operations across every sector from healthcare to manufacturing, transportation, retail, finance, government & defense, telecommunications, media, entertainment, and more. Within the cybersecurity industry, SentinelOne, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, Fortinet and others are pioneering AI in Cybersecurity. In a research report of the global markets by Allied Market Research, AI in Cybersecurity is estimated to surge to $154.8 billion in 2032 from $19.2 billion in 2022, rising at a CAGR of 23.6%. Challenges of the traditional SOC SIEM One of the challenges with the traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) is SOC analysts are overwhelmed by the sheer number of alerts that come from Security Information Event Management (SIEM). Security teams are bombarded with low fidelity alerts and spend considerable time separating them from high fidelity alerts. The alerts come from almost any sources across the enterprise and is further compounded with too many point solutions and with multi-vendor environment. The numerous tools and lack of integration across multiple vendor product solutions often require a great deal of manual investigation and analysis. The pressure that comes with having to keep up with vendor training and correlate data and logs into meaningful insights becomes burdensome. While multi-vendor, multi-source, and multi-layered security solutions provides a lot of data, without ML and security analytics, it also creates a lot of noise and a disparate view of the threat landscape with insufficient context. SOAR Traditional Security Orchestration and Automation Response (SOAR) platforms used by mature security operations teams to develop run playbooks that automate action responses from a library of APIs for an ecosystem of security solution is complex and expensive to implement, manage, and maintain. Often SOCs are playing catch up on coding and funding development cost for run playbooks making it challenging to maintain and scale the operations to respond to new attacks quickly and efficiently. XDR Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solves a lot of these challenges with siloed security solutions by providing a unified view with more visibility and better context from a single holistic data lake across the entire ecosystem. XDR provides prevention as well as detection and response with integration and automation capabilities across endpoint, cloud, and network. Its automation capabilities can incorporate basic common SOAR like functions to API connected security tools. It collects enriched data from multiple sources and applies big data and ML based analysis to enable response of policy enforcement using security controls throughout the infrastructure.

Guardians of the Digital Realm: How to Protect Yourself from Social Engineering
(lien direct)
Social engineering has been around for as long as coveted information has existed. In the digital realm, threat actors use this psychological manipulation tactic to drive people to break normal security procedures. It is a con game that relies on human error rather than digital hacking.   These are some common forms of social engineering in digital communications:  Impersonation. In these attacks, bad actors pose as trusted entities.  Pretexting. Bad actors use fake stories to bait their targets into revealing sensitive information.  Baiting. Attackers use promises of rewards or benefits to lure in their targets.  In social engineering attacks, bad actors exploit psychological principles like trust, the fear of missing out, authority and the desire to be helpful. When you and your users learn to recognize these triggers, you can build a strong defense. In this blog post, we\'ll cover three more steps you can take to protect yourself and your business.  1. Build a human firewall  If you want your employees to be able to recognize social engineering attacks, you need to educate them. Training should cover various types of social engineering tactics. Some top examples include:  Phishing  Telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD)  Pretexting  Baiting  Quid pro quo  Tailgating  It\'s a good idea to keep your employees informed of the latest attack trends. That is why continuous education has more of an impact than one-off training sessions. Regular updates can help you keep your workforce up to speed.  You may want to support your training efforts with a comprehensive security awareness platform. It can provide content that\'s designed to increase user participation and help lessons stick, like gamification and microlearning. Quizzes, interactive modules and mock phishing scenarios can all help your users learn how to become better defenders, too.  Actionable tips:  Test your team with simulated phishing emails at least once a month  Conduct security awareness training sessions at least once per quarter  Build a yearlong campaign that also provides employees with other training information, like digital newsletters or packets that they can take home  2. Slow down and ask questions  You might assume your security team has put technology in place to defend against social engineering. However, there is no silver bullet to stop these attacks. That\'s why you need to approach digital communications with a critical eye, especially when they include requests for sensitive information or prompts to take urgent actions.   You want to complete your work quickly and be responsive to your leadership team, of course. But threat actors count on these types of triggers. Instead, do your best to:  Slow down  This is a crucial move in the fight against social engineering. It enables you to evaluate the situation with a critical eye and recognize potential red flags. When you slow down, you transform automatic, reflexive responses into thoughtful, deliberate actions.   Practice skepticism  When you stop to question whether an interaction is legitimate, you can spot inconsistencies. You can ask questions like: “Is this request from a person or entity I can trust?”, “Can I verify their identity?” and “Is this request truly urgent?” You might consult with colleagues or managers or refer to company policies. Or you might even do a quick internet search to validate claims.  Actionable tips:  Examine emails for unusual language or requests  Double-check that email addresses and domain names are authentic  Verify requests that come through alternative communication channels  3. Use a multilayered defense  If you want to have an edge in combatting social engineering, you need to adopt a multilayered security approach. In other words, you need to combine the human element of user vigilance with advanced tools.    A core part of this strategy is to deploy an advanced email security solution that can stop an initial attack. Ideally, it should use a combination of behaviora Tool Threat Prediction ★★★

Add to that the increasing trend of remote work and the need for high performance connections, and it\'s clear […]

4 Steps to Prevent Vendor Email Compromise in Your Supply Chain
(lien direct)
Supply chains have become a focal point for cyberattacks in a world where business ecosystems are increasingly connected. Email threats are a significant risk factor, as threat actors are keen to use compromised email accounts to their advantage. Every month, a staggering 80% of Proofpoint customers face attacks that originate from compromised vendor, third-party or supplier email accounts.  Known as supplier account compromise, or vendor email compromise, these attacks involve threat actors infiltrating business communications between trusted partners so that they can launch internal and external attacks. Their ultimate goal might be to steal money, steal data, distribute malware or simply cause havoc.  In this blog post, we\'ll explain how vendor emails are compromised and how you can stop these attacks.  Finally, we\'ll tell you how Proofpoint can help.   What\'s at stake   Supply chain compromise attacks can be costly for businesses. IBM, in its latest Cost of a Data Breach Report, says that the average total cost of a cyberattack that involves supply chain compromise is $4.76 million. That is almost 12% higher than the cost of an incident that doesn\'t involve the supply chain.   In addition to the financial implications, compromised accounts can lead to:   Phishing scams that result in even more compromised accounts  Reputational and brand damage  Complex legal liabilities between business partners   How does vendor email compromise occur?  Supply chain compromise attacks are highly targeted. They can stretch out over several months. And typically, they are structured as a multistep process.   The bad actor initiates the assault by gaining access to the email account of a vendor or supplier through various means. Phishing attacks are one example. Once the attacker gains access, they will lay low for an extended period to observe the vendor\'s email communications. During this time, the adversary will study the language and context of messages so that they can blend in well and avoid detection.   Attackers might also use this observation period to establish persistence. They will create mail rules and infrastructure so that they can continue to receive and send messages even after the vendor has regained control of the account.  Once they establish access and persistence, the attackers will begin to insert themselves into conversations within the supplier\'s company as well as with external partners and customers. By posing as the sender, the attacker takes advantage of established trust between parties to increase their chances of success.   Overview of a vendor email compromise attack.  Proofpoint has observed a growing trend of attackers targeting accounts within smaller businesses and using them to gain entry into larger companies. Threat actors often assume that small businesses have less protection than large companies. They see them as targets that can help them achieve a bigger payday.   How to stop vendor email compromise  If you want to defend against these attacks, it\'s critical to understand the methods behind them. Such a formidable problem requires a strategic and multilayered solution. The four broad steps below can help.  Step 1: Know your suppliers  Your first line of defense against these email attacks sounds simple, but it\'s challenging. It is the ability to intimately “know your supplier” and understand their security strategy. This requires more than a one-time vendor assessment. Your security teams will need to prioritize continuous monitoring of your company\'s business partnerships.   On top of that knowledge, you need a thorough understanding of the access and privileges that your business grants to each vendor. Compromised accounts that have uncontrolled access may be able to exfiltrate sensitive data or upload malware like ransomware. So, when you know what your suppliers can (and can\'t) access, you can identify a data breach faster.  Other steps, like requiring multifactor authentication (MFA) for vendor accounts, can Ransomware Data Breach Malware Tool Threat Studies Prediction Cloud ★★★

Offensive and Defensive: Build Security Awareness with Two Powerful Learning Approaches
(lien direct)
“Offensive” security awareness and “defensive” security awareness are two learning approaches that you can use to build a robust security culture in your company. They involve applying different strategies to educate your employees about threats and how they can respond to them safely.  You may have heard the terms “offensive cybersecurity” and “defensive cybersecurity.” You use defensive tools and techniques to strengthen security vulnerabilities. And with offensive tools and techniques, you focus on identifying those vulnerabilities before attackers find them first.  How do defensive and offensive approaches apply to security awareness? Here\'s a quick overview:  With a defensive approach, users learn the fundamentals of security.  With an offensive approach, users learn how to protect themselves and the business against future threats.  Let\'s use a sports analogy here. You can actively learn to be a defensive goalie and block threats. Then, you can take your skills up a level and learn to score points with protective techniques.   With Proofpoint Security Awareness, our industry-leading threat intelligence informs both approaches. We help people learn how to defend against current threats. And we give them the tools for taking offensive action against future threats.   Live-action series about Insider Threats. (play video)   Defensive security awareness: set the foundation  We all have to start with the basics, right? With defensive security awareness, you teach people the fundamentals of security and set the stage for safe behavior. This training is often reactive. It enables people to respond to immediate threats and incidents as they arise.   At Proofpoint, we believe in using behavioral science methodologies, like adaptive learning and contextual nudges. We combine this with a threat-driven approach, weaving trend analysis and insights about recent security breaches into our training.  A personalized adaptive framework   The adaptive learning framework is a personalized defensive approach to training. It recognizes that everyone learns differently; it is the opposite of a one-size-fits-all approach. You can teach security fundamentals in a way that is meaningful for each person based on what they know, what they might do and what they believe.  This framework lets you drive behavior change with education that is tailored to each person\'s needs. That can include their professional role, industry, content style and native language. The learner can engage with a wide variety of styles and materials. And each training is tied to a specific learning objective.   Adaptive learning recognizes that people learn best in short bursts that are spread over time. Our microlearning video modules are under three minutes, and our nano-learning videos are under one minute. These formats give people the flexibility to learn at their own pace.  For instance, our “You\'re Now a Little Wiser” nano series offers bite-size training on topics such as data protection to help users learn about specific threats.     Screenshots from a one-minute nano-learning video.   Contextual nudges and positive reinforcement   Training is essential if you want to build a robust security culture. But it is not enough to change behavior fully. Here is where contextual nudges play a vital role in helping to reinforce positive behavior habits once they are formed. These deliberate interventions are designed to shape how people behave.   Nudges are rooted in a deep understanding of human behavior. They can move people toward making better decisions, often without them realizing it. They are gentle reminders that can guide people toward creating optimal outcomes. That, in turn, helps to foster a defensive security-conscious culture in your company.   It is important to find the respectful balance of nudging people toward secure behaviors without being too intrusive or complex.

Developing a New Internet Standard: the Domain Relationship Policy Framework
(lien direct)
Engineering Insights is an ongoing blog series that gives a behind-the-scenes look into the technical challenges, lessons and advances that help our customers protect people and defend data every day. Each post is a firsthand account by one of our engineers about the process that led up to a Proofpoint innovation.   In this blog post, we discuss the Domain Relationship Policy Framework (DRPF)-an effort that has been years in the making at Proofpoint. The DRPF is a simple method that is used to identify verifiably authorized relationships between arbitrary domains. We create a flexible way to publish policies. These policies can also describe complex domain relationships.  The details for this new model require in-depth community discussions. These conversations will help us collectively steer the DRPF toward becoming a fully interoperable standard. We are now in the early proposal stage for the DRPF, and we are starting to engage more with the broader community. This post provides a glimpse down the road leading to standardization for the DRPF.  Why Proofpoint developed DRPF  To shine a light on why Proofpoint was inspired to develop the DRPF in the first place, let\'s consider the thinking of the initial designers of the Domain Name System (DNS). They assumed that subdomains would inherit the administrative control of their parent domains. And by extension, this should apply to all subsequent subdomains down the line.    At the time, this was reasonable to assume. Most early domains and their subdomains operated in much the same way. For example, “university.edu” directly operated and controlled the administrative policies for subdomains such as “lab.university.edu” which flowed down to “project.lab.university.edu.”  Since the mid-1980s, when DNS was widely deployed, there has been a growing trend of delegating subdomains to third parties. This reflects a breakdown of the hierarchical model of cascading policies. To see how this works, imagine that a business uses “company.com” as a domain. That business might delegate “marketing.company.com” to a third-party marketing agency. The subdomain must inherit some policies, while the subdomain administrator may apply other policies that don\'t apply to the parent domain.  Notably, there is no mechanism yet for a domain to declare a relationship with another seemingly independent domain. Consider a parent company that operates multiple distinct brands. The company with a single set of policies may want them applied not only to “company.com” (and all of its subdomains). It may also want them applied to its brand domains “brand.com” and “anotherbrand.com.”   It gets even more complex when any of the brand domains delegate various subdomains to other third parties. So, say some of them are delegated to marketing or API support. Each will potentially be governed by a mix of administrative policies.  In this context, “policies” refers to published guidance that is used when these subdomains interact with the domain. Policies might be for information only. Or they might provide details that are required to use services that the domain operates. Most policies will be static (or appear so to the retrieving parties). But it is possible to imagine that they could contain directives akin to smart contracts in distributed ledgers.  3 Design characteristics that define DRPF  The goal of the DRPF is to make deployment and adoption easier while making it flexible for future use cases. In many prior proposals, complex requirements bogged down efforts to get rid of administrative boundaries between and across disparate domains. Our work should be immediately useful with minimal effort and be able to support a wide array of ever-expanding use cases.  In its simplest form, three design characteristics define the DRPF:  A domain administrator publishes a policy assertion record for the domain so that a relying party can discover and retrieve it.  The discovered policy assertion directs the relying party to where they can find Tool Prediction Cloud Technical ★★★

(lien direct)
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 ★★★

The Threat Landscape Is Always Changing: What to Expect in 2024
(lien direct)
Gather \'round, cyber friends, and I\'ll let you in on a little secret: no one knows what the Next Big Thing on the threat landscape will be. But we can look back on 2023, identify notable changes and actor behaviors, and make educated assessments about what 2024 will bring.   This month on the DISCARDED podcast my co-host Crista Giering and I sat down with our Threat Research leaders Daniel Blackford, Alexis Dorais-Joncas, Randy Pargman, and Rich Gonzalez, leaders of the ecrime, advanced persistent threat (APT), threat detection, and Emerging Threats teams, respectively. We discussed what we learned over the last year, and what\'s on the horizon for the future. While the discussions touched on different topics and featured different opinions on everything from artificial intelligence (AI) to living off the land binaries (LOLBins) to vulnerability exploitation to ransomware, there were some notable themes that are worth writing down. We can\'t say for sure what surprises are in store, but with our cyber crystals balls fully charged – and a deep knowledge of a year\'s worth of threat actor activity based on millions of email threats per day – we can predict with high confidence what\'s going to be impactful in the coming year.   1: Quick response (QR) codes will continue to proliferate  2023 was the year of the QR code. Although not new, QR codes burst on the scene over the last year and were used in many credential phishing and malware campaigns. The use was driven by a confluence of factors, but ultimately boiled down to the fact that people are now way more accustomed to scanning QR codes for everything from instructions to menus. And threat actors are taking advantage. Proofpoint recently launched new in-line sandboxing capabilities to better defend against this threat, and our teams anticipate  seeing more of it in 2024. Notably, however, Dorais-Joncas points out that QR codes still just exist in the realm of ecrime – APT actors have not yet jumped on the QR code bandwagon. (Although, some of those APT actors bring ecrime energy to their campaigns, so it\'s possible they may start QR code phishing, too.)  2: Zero-day and N-day vulnerability exploitation  A theme that appeared throughout our conversations was the creative use of vulnerabilities – both known and unreported – in threat actor activity. APT actors used a wide variety of exploits, from TA473 exploiting publicly-facing webmail servers to espionage actors using a zero-day in an email security gateway appliance that ultimately forced users to rip out and reinstall physical hardware. But ecrime actors also exploited their share of vulnerabilities, including the MOVEit file transfer service vulnerability from the spring of 2023 that had cascading repercussions, and the ScreenConnect flaw announced in the fall of 2023 – both of which were used by ecrime actors before being officially published. Proofpoint anticipates vulnerability exploitation will continue, driven in part by improved defense making old school techniques – like macro-enabled documents – much less useful, as well as the vast financial resources now available to cybercriminals that were once just the domain of APT. Pargman says the creativity from ecrime threat actors is a direct response of defenders imposing cost on our adversaries.   3: Continuing, unexpected behavior changes  Avid listeners of the podcast know I have regularly said the ecrime landscape is extremely chaotic, with TA577 demonstrating the most chaotic vibes of them all. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of some of the most sophisticated actors continue to change. The cost imposed on threat actors that Pargman mentioned – from law enforcement takedowns of massive botnets like Qbot to improved detections and automated defenses – have forced threat actors, cybercriminals in particular, to regularly change their behaviors to figure out what is most effective. For example, recently Proofpoint has observed the increased use of: traffic dis Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Prediction ★★★

This is part three of a three-part series written by AT&T Cybersecurity evangelist Theresa Lanowitz. It’s intended to be future-looking, provocative, and encourage discussion. The author wants to assure you that no generative AI was used in any part of this blog. Part one: Unusual, thought-provoking predictions for cybersecurity in 2024 Part two: Cybersecurity operations in 2024: The SOC of the future While there are many big things to prepare for in 2024 (see first two posts), some important smaller things don’t get the same attention. Yet, these things are good to know and probably won’t come as a huge surprise. Because they, too, are evolving, it’s important not to take your eye off the ball. Compliance creates a new code of conduct and a new need for compliance logic. Compliance and governance are often overlooked when developing software because a different part of the business typically owns those responsibilities. That is all about to change. Cybersecurity policies (internal and external, including new regulations) need to move upstream in the software development lifecycle and need compliance logic built in to simplify the process. Software is designed to work globally; however, the world is becoming more segmented and parsed. Regulations are being created at country, regional, and municipal levels. To be realistic, the only way to handle compliance is via automation. To avoid the constant forking of software, compliance logic will need to be a part of modern applications. Compliance logic will allow software to function globally but adjust based on code sets that address geographic locations and corresponding regulations. In 2024, expect compliance logic to become a part of the larger conversation regarding compliance, governance, regulation, and policy. This will require cross-functional collaboration across IT, security, legal, line of business, finance, and other organizational stakeholders. MFA gets physical. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a way of life. The benefits far outweigh the slight inconvenience imposed. Think about why MFA is so critical. MFA helps with authorization and authentication for mission-critical and safety-critical work. It prevents unauthorized access to critical information. MFA is an easy-to-implement step for good cyber hygiene. Our current way of thinking about MFA is generally based on three things: something you know, a passcode; something you have, a device; and something you are, a fingerprint, your face, etc. Now, let’s take this a step further and look at how the something you are part of MFA can improve safety. Today, MFA routinely accepts fingerprints, facial recognition, or retina scans. That’s just the beginning. MFA can go a step further in helping with business outcomes; here’s how. Biometric and behavioral MFA can help with identifying the veracity of an individual as well as the fitness to perform a function. For example, a surgeon can access the hospital, restricted areas, and the operating room through MFA verifications. But, once in the operating room, how is it determined that the surgeon is fit to perform the surgical task? Behavioral MFA will soon be in play to ensure the surgeon is fit by adding another layer of something you are. Behavioral MFA will determine fitness for a task by identifying things such as entering a series of numbers on a keypad, handwriting on a tablet, or voice analysis. The goal is to compare current behavior with past behavior to ensur Tool Threat Prediction ★★★
