Réaction en chaîne: Rokrat & rsquo; s.Lien manquant
(Publié: 1er mai 2023)
Depuis 2022, le groupe parrainé par le Nord-Korea APT37 (Group123, Ricochet Chollima) a principalement changé ses méthodes de livraison de Maldocs pour cacher des charges utiles à l'intérieur des fichiers LNK surdimensionnés.Vérifier les chercheurs a identifié plusieurs chaînes d'infection utilisées par le groupe de juillet 2022 à avril 2023. Celles-ci ont été utilisées pour livrer l'un des outils personnalisés de l'APT37 (Goldbackdoor et Rokrat), ou le malware de marchandises Amadey.Tous les leurres étudiés semblent cibler des personnes coréennes avec des sujets liés à la Corée du Sud.
Commentaire de l'analyste: Le passage aux chaînes d'infection basées sur LNK permet à APT37 de l'interaction utilisateur moins requise car la chaîne peut être déclenchée par un simple double clic.Le groupe continue l'utilisation de Rokrat bien triés qui reste un outil furtif avec ses couches supplémentaires de cryptage, le cloud C2 et l'exécution en mémoire.Les indicateurs associés à cette campagne sont disponibles dans la plate-forme Anomali et il est conseillé aux clients de les bloquerleur infrastructure.

LastPass Hackers Stole Source Code
(published: August 26, 2022)
In August 2022, an unidentified threat actor gained access to portions of the password management giant LastPass development environment. LastPass informed that it happened through a single compromised developer account and the attacker took portions of source code and some proprietary LastPass technical information. The company claims that this incident did not affect customer data or encrypted password vaults.
Analyst Comment: This incident doesn’t seem to have an immediate impact on LastPass users. Still, organizations relying on LastPass should raise the concern in their risk assessment since “white-box hacking” (when source code of the attacking system is known) is easier for threat actors. Organizations providing public-facing software should take maximum measures to block threat actors from their development environment and establish robust and transparent security protocols and practices with all third parties involved in their code development.

Mercury Leveraging Log4j 2 Vulnerabilities in Unpatched Systems to Target Israeli
(published: August 25, 2022)
Starting in July 2022, a new campaign by Iran-sponsored group Static Kitten (Mercury, MuddyWater) was detected targeting Israeli organizations. Microsoft researchers detected that this campaign was leveraging exploitation of Log4j 2 vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-45046 and CVE-2021-44228) in SysAid applications (IT management tools). For persistence Static Kitten was dropping webshells, creating local administrator accounts, stealing credentials, and adding their tools in the startup folders and autostart extensibility point (ASEP) registry keys. Overall the group was heavily using various open-source and built-in operating system tools: eHorus remote management software, Ligolo reverse tunneling tool, Mimikatz credential theft tool, PowerShell programs, RemCom remote service, Venom proxy tool, and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
Analyst Comment: Network defenders should monitor for alerts related to web shell threats, suspicious RDP sessions, ASEP registry anomaly, and suspicious account creation. Similarly, SysAid users can monitor for webshells and abnormal processes related to SysAisServer instance. Even though Static Kitten was observed leveraging the Log4Shell vulnerabilities in the past (targeting VMware apps), most of their attacks still start with spearphishing, often from a compromised email account.

2022-08-18 08:00:00 | Ukraine and the fragility of agriculture security (lien direct) |  By Joe Marshall.The war in Ukraine has had far-reaching global implications and one of the most immediate effects felt will be on the global supply chain for food. This war-induced fragility has exposed the weaknesses of how we feed ourselves globally. Ransomware cartels and other adversaries are well aware of this and are actively exploiting that fragility. For the past six years, Cisco Talos has been actively involved in assisting public and private institutions in Ukraine to defend themselves against state-sponsored actors. Our involvement stretches the gamut from commercial to critical infrastructure, to election security. Our presence has afforded us unique opportunities and observations about cybersecurity in a macro and micro way. Ukraine has been a frequent victim of state-sponsored cyber attacks aimed at critical infrastructures like power and transportation. Talos is proud to stand with our partners in Ukraine and help defend their critical networks and help users there maintain access to necessary services. Now that Russia has invaded Ukraine, those threats have escalated to kinetic attacks that are wreaking havoc on a critical element of our world: agriculture and our global food supply chain. Even worse is the implications this war will have for future cyber attacks, as fragility is considered a lucrative element in deciding victimology by threat actors like ransomware cartels. To truly grasp the implications of the war in Ukraine, we have to examine how vital Ukrainian agriculture feeds the world, the current state of affairs, and what this means for the global cybersecurity posture to protect agricultural assets. Where there is weakness, there is opportunityRansomware cartels and their affiliates are actively targeting the agricultural industry. Moreover, these actors have done their homework and are targeting agricultural companies during the two times of the year where they cannot suffer disruptions: planting and harvesting. Per the published FBI PIN Alert: “Cyber actors may perceive cooperatives as lucrative targets with a willingness to pay due to the time-sensitive role they play in agricultural production.” This is far from unusual for these adversaries - they are shrewd and calculating, and understand their victims' weaknesses and industries.

A Lookback Under the TA410 Umbrella: Its Cyberespionage TTPs and Activity
(published: April 28, 2022)
ESET researchers found three different teams under China-sponsored umbrella cyberespionage group TA410, which is loosely linked to Stone Panda (APT10, Chinese Ministry of State Security). ESET named these teams FlowingFrog, JollyFrog, and LookingFrog. FlowingFrog uses the Royal Road RTF weaponizer described by Anomali in 2019. Infection has two stages: the Tendyron implant followed by a very complex FlowCloud backdoor. JollyFrog uses generic malware such as PlugX and QuasarRAT. LookingFrog’s infection stages feature the X4 backdoor followed by the LookBack backdoor. Besides using different backdoors and exiting from IP addresses located in three different districts, the three teams use similar tools and similar tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).
Analyst Comment: Organizations should keep their web-facing applications such as Microsoft Exchange or SharePoint secured and updated. Educate your employees on handling suspected spearphishing attempts. Defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) is the best way to ensure safety from APTs, including a focus on both network and host-based security. Prevention and detection capabilities should also be in place.

New Malware Hides as Legit Nginx Process on E-Commerce Servers
(published: December 2, 2021)
Researchers at Sansec discovered NginRAT, a new malware variant that has been found on servers in the US, Germany, and France. Put in place to intercept credit card payments, this malware impersonates legitimate nginx processes which makes it very difficult to detect. NginRAT has shown up on systems that were previously infected with CronRAT, a trojan that schedules processes to run on invalid calendar days. This is used as a persistence technique to ensure that even if a malicious process is killed, the malware has a way to re-infect the system.
Analyst Comment: Threat actors are always adapting to the security environment to remain effective. New techniques can still be spotted with behavioural analysis defenses and social engineering training. Ensure that your company's firewall blocks all entry points for unauthorized users, and maintain records of how normal traffic appears on your network. Therefore, it will be easier to spot unusual traffic and connections to and from your network to potentially identify malicious activity.

How Phishing Kits Are Enabling A New Legion Of Pro Phishers
(published: December 2, 2021)
Phishing kits, such as XBALTI are seeing increased use against financial institutions. Mixing email with SMS messages, attackers are targeting companies such as Charles Schwab, J.P. Morgan Chase, RBC Royal Bank and Wells Fargo. Victims are targeted and asked to verify account details. The attack is made to appear legitimate by redirecting to the real sites after information has been harvested.
Analyst Comment: With financial transactions increasing around this time of year, it is likely financially themed malspam and phishing emails will be a commonly used tactic. Therefore, it is crucial that your employees are aware of their financial institution's policies regarding electronic communication. If a user is concerned due to the scare tactics often used in such emails, they should contact their financial institution via legitimate email or another form of communication. Requests to open a document in a sense of urgency and poor grammar are often indicative of malspam or phishing attacks. Said emails should be properly avoided and reported to the appropriate personnel.

Microsoft Exchange Servers Still Vulnerable to ProxyShell Exploit
(published: August 23, 2021)
Despite patches a collection of vulnerabilities (ProxyShell) discovered in Microsoft Exchange being available in the July 2021 update, researchers discovered nearly 2,000 of these vulnerabilities have recently been compromised to host webshells. These webshells allow for attackers to retain backdoor access to compromised servers for further exploitation and lateral movement into the affected organizations. Researchers believe that these attacks may be related to the recent LockFile ransomware attacks.
Analyst Comment: Organizations running Microsoft Exchange are strongly encouraged to prioritize updates to prevent ongoing exploitation of these vulnerabilities. In addition, a thorough investigation to discover and remove planted webshells should be undertaken as the patches will not remove planted webshells in their environments. A threat intelligence platform (TIP) such as Anomali Threatstream can be a valuable tool to assist organizations ingesting current indicators of compromise (IOCs) and determine whether their Exchange instances have been compromised.

LockFile: Ransomware Uses PetitPotam Exploit to Compromise Windows Domain Controllers
(published: August 20, 2021)
A new ransomware family, named Lockfile by Symantec researchers, has been observed on the network of a US financial organization. The first known instance of this ransomware was July 20, 2021, and activity is ongoing. This ransomware has been seen largely targeting organizations in a wide range of industries across the US and Asia. The initial access vector remains unknown at this time, but the ransomware leverages the incompletely patched PetitPotam vulnerability (CVE-2021-36942) in Microsoft's Exchange Server to pivot to Domain Controllers (DCs) which are then leveraged to deploy ransomware tools to devices that connect to the DC. The attackers appear to remain resident on the network for several |
