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.

Xenomorph V3: a New Variant with ATS Targeting More Than 400 Institutions
(published: March 10, 2023)
Newer versions of the Xenomorph Android banking trojan are able to target 400 applications: cryptocurrency wallets and mobile banking from around the World with the top targeted countries being Spain, Turkey, Poland, USA, and Australia (in that order). Since February 2022, several small, testing Xenomorph campaigns have been detected. Its current version Xenomorph v3 (Xenomorph.C) is available on the Malware-as-a-Service model. This trojan version was delivered using the Zombinder binding service to bind it to a legitimate currency converter. Xenomorph v3 automatically collects and exfiltrates credentials using the ATS (Automated Transfer Systems) framework. The command-and-control traffic is blended in by abusing Discord Content Delivery Network.
Analyst Comment: Fraud chain automation makes Xenomorph v3 a dangerous malware that might significantly increase its prevalence on the threat landscape. Users should keep their mobile devices updated and avail of mobile antivirus and VPN protection services. Install only applications that you actually need, use the official store and check the app description and reviews. Organizations that publish applications for their customers are invited to use Anomali's Premium Digital Risk Protection service to discover rogue, malicious apps impersonating your brand that security teams typically do not search or monitor.

Update: The Phish Goes On - 5 Million Stolen Credentials and Counting
(published: June 16, 2022)
PIXM researchers describe an ongoing, large-scale Facebook phishing campaign. Its primary targets are Facebook Messenger mobile users and an estimated five million users lost their login credentials. The campaign evades Facebook anti-phishing protection by redirecting to a new page at a legitimate service such as amaze.co, famous.co, funnel-preview.com, or glitch.me. In June 2022, the campaign also employed the tactic of displaying legitimate shopping cart content at the final page for about two seconds before displaying the phishing content. The campaign is attributed to Colombian actor BenderCrack (Hackerasueldo) who monetizes displaying affiliate ads.
Analyst Comment: Users should check what domain is asking for login credentials before providing those. Organizations can consider monitoring their employees using Facebook as a Single Sign-On (SSO) Provider.

COBALT MIRAGE Conducts Ransomware Operations in U.S.
(published: May 12, 2022)
Secureworks researchers describe campaigns by Iran-sponsored group Cobalt Mirage. These actors are likely part of a larger group, Charming Kitten (Phosphorus, APT35, Cobalt Illusion). In 2022, Cobalt Mirage deployed BitLocker ransomware on a US charity systems, and exfiltrated data from a US local government network. Their ransomware operations appear to be a low-scale, hands-on approach with rare tactics such as sending a ransom note to a local printer. The group utilized its own custom binaries including a Fast Reverse Proxy client (FRPC) written in Go. It also relied on mass scanning for known vulnerabilities (ProxyShell, Log4Shell) and using commodity tools for encryption, internal scanning, and lateral movement.
Analyst Comment: However small your government or NGO organization is, it still needs protection from advanced cyber actors. Keep your system updated, and employ mitigation strategies when updates for critical vulnerabilities are not available.

A Deep Dive into DoubleFeature, Equation Group’s Post-Exploitation Dashboard
(published: December 27, 2021)
Check Point researchers have published their findings on the Equation Group’s post-exploitation framework DanderSpritz — a major part of the “Lost in Translation” leak — with a focus on its DoubleFeature logging tool. DoubleFeature (similar to other Equation Group tools) employs several techniques to make forensic analysis difficult: function names are not passed explicitly, but instead a checksum of it; strings used in DoubleFeature are decrypted on-demand per function and they are re-encrypted once function execution completes. DoubleFeature also supports additional obfuscation methods, such as a simple substitution cipher and a stream cipher. In its information gathering DoubleFeature can monitor multiple additional plugins including: KillSuit (also known as KiSu and GrayFish) plugin that is running other plugins, providing a framework for persistence and evasion, MistyVeal (MV) implant verifying that the targeted system is indeed an authentic victim, StraitBizarre (SBZ) cross-platform implant, and UnitedRake remote access tool (UR, EquationDrug).
Analyst Comment: It is important to study Equation Group’s frameworks because some of the leaked exploits were seen exploited by other threat actors. 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.

The Leap of a Cycldek-Related Threat Actor
(published: April 5, 2021)
A new sophisticated Chinese campaign was observed between June 2020 and January 2021, targeting government, military and other critical industries in Vietnam, and, to lesser extent, in Central Asia and Thailand. This threat actor uses a "DLL side-loading triad" previously mastered by another Chinese group, LuckyMouse: a legitimate executable, a malicious DLL to be sideloaded by it, and an encoded payload, generally dropped from a self-extracting archive. But the code origins of the new malware used on different stages of this campaign point to a different Chinese-speaking group, Cycldek.
Analyst Comment: Malware authors are always innovating new methods of communicating back to the control servers. Always practice Defense in Depth (do not rely on single security mechanisms - security measures should be layered, redundant, and failsafe).

Hancitor’s Use of Cobalt Strike and a Noisy Network Ping Tool
(published: April 1, 2021)
Hancitor is an information stealer and malware downloader used by a threat actor designated as MAN1, Moskalvzapoe or TA511. Initial infection includes target clicking malspam, then clicking on a link in an opened Google Docs page, and finally clicking to enable macros in the downloaded Word document. In recent months, this actor began using a network ping tool to help enumerate the Active Directory (AD) environment of infected hosts. It generates approximately 1.5 GB of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic.
Analyst Comment: Organizations should use email security solutions to block malicious/spam emails. All email attachments should be scanned for malware before they reach the user's inbox. IPS rules need to be configured properly to identify any reconnaissance attempts e.g. port scan to get early indication of potential breach.

China’s ‘Hybrid War’: Beijing’s Mass Surveillance of Australia and the World for Secrets and Scandal
(published: September 14, 2020)
A database containing 2.4 million people has been leaked from a Shenzhen company, Zhenhua Data, believed to have ties to the Chinese intelligence service. The database contains personal information on over 35,000 Australians and prominent figures, and 52,000 Americans. This includes addresses, bank information, birth dates, criminal records, job applications, psychological profiles, and social media. Politicians, lawyers, journalists, military officers, media figures, and Natalie Imbruglia are among the records of Australians contained in the database. While a lot of the information is public, there is also non-public information contributing to claims that China is developing a mass surveillance system.
Recommendation: Users should always remain vigilant about the information they are putting out into the public, and avoid posting personal or sensitive information online.

US Criminal Court Hit by Conti Ransomware; Critical Data at Risk
(published: September 11, 2020)
The Fourth District Court of Louisiana, part of the US criminal court system, appears to have become the latest victim of the Conti ransomware. The court's website was attacked and used to steal numerous court documents related to defendants, jurors, and witnesses, and then install the Conti ransomware. Evidence of the data theft was posted to the dark web. Analysis of the malware by Emsisoft’s threat analyst, Brett Callow, indicates that the ransomware deployed in the attack was Conti, which has code similarity to another ransomware strain, Ryuk. The Conti group, believed to be behind this ransomware as a service, is sophisticated and due to the fact that they receive a large portion of the ransoms paid, they are motivated to avoid detections and continue to develop advanced attacking tools. This attack also used the Trickbot malware in its exploit chain, similar to that used by Ryuk campaigns.
Recommendation: Defense in Depth, including vulnerability remediation and scanning, monitoring, endpoint protection, backups, etc. is key to thwarting increasingly sophisticated attacks. Ransomware attacks are particularly attractive to attackers due to the fact that each successful ransomware attack allows for multiple streams of income. The attackers can not only extort a ransom to decrypt the victim's files (especially in cases where the victim finds they do not have appropriate disaster recovery plans), but they can also monetize the exfiltrated data directly and/or use the data to aid in future attacks. This technique is increasingly used in supply chain compromises to build difficult to detect spearphishing attacks.
