2024-01-25 11:00:00 | Le côté obscur de la cybersécurité 2023: évolution des logiciels malveillants et cyber-menaces The dark side of 2023 Cybersecurity: Malware evolution and Cyber threats (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 | ★★★ |
