Mexico also faces threats posed by the worldwide increase in multifaceted extortion, as ransomware and data theft continue to rise. Threat actors with an array of motivations continue to seek opportunities to exploit the digital infrastructure that Mexicans rely on across all aspects of society. This joint blog brings together our collective understanding of the cyber threat landscape impacting Mexico, combining insights from Google\'s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) and Mandiant\'s frontline intelligence. By sharing our global perspective, especially during today\'s Google for Mexico event, we hope to enable greater resiliency in mitigating these threats. Cyber Espionage Operations Targeting Mexico As the 12th largest economy in the world, Mexico draws attention from cyber espionage actors from multiple nations, with targeting patterns mirroring broader priorities and focus areas that we see elsewhere. Since 2020, cyber espionage groups from more than 10 countries have targeted users in Mexico; however, more than 77% of government-backed phishing activity is concentrated among groups from the People\'s Republic of China (PRC), North Korea, and Russia. Figure 1: Government-backed phishing activity targeting Mexico, January 2020 – August 2024 The examples here highlight recent and historical examples where cyber espionage actors have targeted users and organizations in Mexico. It should be noted that these campaigns describe targeting and do not indicate successful compromise or exploitation. PRC Cyber Espionage Activity Targeting Mexico Since 2020, we have observed activity from seven cyber espionage groups with links to the PRC targeting users in Mexico, accounting for a third of government-backed phishing activity in the country. This volume of PRC cyber espionage is similar to activity in other regions where Chinese government investment has been focused, such as countries within China\'s Belt and Road Initiative. In addition to activity targeting Gmail users, PRC-backed groups have targeted Mexican government agencies, higher ]]> 2024-09-10T14:00:00+00:00 https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/cyber-threats-targeting-mexico/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8574054 False Ransomware,Malware,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat,Mobile,Cloud,Commercial APT 28 2.0000000000000000 RiskIQ - cyber risk firms (now microsoft) 2024-08-12T10:35:06+00:00 https://community.riskiq.com/article/e60227f4 www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8556324 False Ransomware,Spam,Malware,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat,Mobile,Industrial,Cloud APT 28 2.0000000000000000 RiskIQ - cyber risk firms (now microsoft) 2024-08-05T21:26:54+00:00 https://community.riskiq.com/article/00383b84 www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8552380 False Malware,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat APT 28 4.0000000000000000 Global Security Mag - Site de news francais Malwares]]> 2024-08-05T15:01:41+00:00 https://www.globalsecuritymag.fr/cybercriminalite-fighting-ursa-utilise-une-annonce-de-vente-de-voiture-comme.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8552154 False Malware,Threat APT 28 3.0000000000000000 Dark Reading - Informationweek Branch The scheme, from the group also known as APT28, involves targeting Eastern European diplomats in need of personal transportation, tempting them with a purported good deal on a Audi Q7 Quattro SUV.]]> 2024-08-05T11:38:04+00:00 https://www.darkreading.com/threat-intelligence/russia-fighting-ursa-apt-car-ads-headlace-malware www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8552054 False Malware APT 28 3.0000000000000000 The Hacker News - The Hacker News est un blog de news de hack (surprenant non?)

The Alliance faces a barrage of malicious cyber activity from all over the globe, carried out by emboldened state-sponsored actors, hacktivists, and criminals who are willing to cross lines and carry out activity that was previously considered unlikely or inconceivable. In addition to military targets, NATO must consider the risks that hybrid threats like malicious cyber activity pose to hospitals, civil society, and other targets, which could impact resilience in a contingency. The war in Ukraine is undoubtedly linked to escalating cyber threat activity, but many of these threats will continue to grow separately and in parallel.  NATO must contend with covert, aggressive malicious cyber actors that are seeking to gather intelligence, preparing to or currently attacking critical infrastructure, and working to undermine the Alliance with elaborate disinformation schemes. In order to protect its customers and clients, Google is closely tracking cyber threats, including those highlighted in this report; however, this is just a glimpse at a much larger and evolving landscape. Cyber Espionage NATO\'s adversaries have long sought to leverage cyber espionage to develop insight into the political, diplomatic, and military disposition of the Alliance and to steal its defense technologies and economic secrets. However, intelligence on the Alliance in the coming months will be of heightened importance. This year\'s summit is a transition period, with the appointment of Mark Rutte as the new Secretary General and a number of adaptations expected to be rolled out to shore up the Alliance\'s defense posture and its long-term support for Ukraine. Successful cyber espionage from threat actors could potentially undermine the Alliance\'s strategic advantage and inform adversary leadership on how to anticipate and counteract NATO\'s initiatives and investments. NATO is targeted by cyber espionage activity from actors around the world with varying capabilities. Many still rely on technically simple but operationally effective methods, like social engineering. Others have evolved and elevated their tradecraft to levels that distinguish themselves as formidable adversaries for even the most experienced defenders. APT29 (ICECAP) Publicly attributed to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Services (SVR) by several governments, APT29 is heavily focused on diplomatic and political intelligence collection, principally targeting Europe and NATO member states. APT29 has been involved in multiple high-profile breaches of technology firms that were designed to provide access to the public sector. In the past year, Mandiant has observed APT29 targeting technology companies and IT service providers in NATO member countries to facilitate third-party and software supply chain compromises of government and poli]]> 2024-07-08T14:00:00+00:00 https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/cyber-threats-facing-nato/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8532698 False Ransomware,Malware,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat,Legislation,Medical,Cloud,Technical APT 29,APT 28 3.0000000000000000 Mandiant - Blog Sécu de Mandiant   Individuals and organizations in Brazil face a unique cyber threat landscape because it is a complex interplay of global and local threats, posing significant risks to individuals, organizations, and critical sectors of Brazilian society. Many of the cyber espionage threat actors that are prolific in campaigns across the globe are also active in carrying out attempted intrusions into critical sectors of Brazilian society. Brazil also faces threats posed by the worldwide increase in multifaceted extortion, as ransomware and data theft continue to rise. At the same time, the threat landscape in Brazil is shaped by a domestic cybercriminal market, where threat actors coordinate to carry out account takeovers, conduct carding and fraud, deploy banking malware and facilitate other cyber threats targeting Brazilians. The rise of the Global South, with Brazil at the forefront, marks a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape; one that extends into the cyber realm. As Brazil\'s influence grows, so does its digital footprint, making it an increasingly attractive target for cyber threats originating from both global and domestic actors. This blog post brings together Google\'s collective understanding of the Brazilian threat landscape, combining insights from Google\'s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) and Mandiant\'s frontline intelligence. As Brazil\'s economic and geopolitical role in global affairs continues to rise, threat actors from an array of motivations will further seek opportunities to exploit the digital infrastructure that Brazilians rely upon across all aspects of society. By sharing our global perspective, we hope to enable greater resiliency in mitigating these threats. Google uses the results of our research to improve the safety and security of our products, making them secure by default. Chrome OS has built-in and proactive security to protect from ransomware, and there have been no reported ransomware attacks ever on any business, education, or consumer Chrome OS device. Google security teams continuously monitor for new threat activity, and all identified websites and domains are added to Safe Browsing to protect users from further exploitation.

Elections attract threat activity from a variety of threat actors including: state-sponsored actors, cyber criminals, hacktivists, insiders, and information operations as-a-service entities. Mandiant assesses with high confidence that state-sponsored actors pose the most serious cybersecurity risk to elections. Operations targeting election-related infrastructure can combine cyber intrusion activity, disruptive and destructive capabilities, and information operations, which include elements of public-facing advertisement and amplification of threat activity claims. Successful targeting does not automatically translate to high impact. Many threat actors have struggled to influence or achieve significant effects, despite their best efforts.  When we look across the globe we find that the attack surface of an election involves a wide variety of entities beyond voting machines and voter registries. In fact, our observations of past cycles indicate that cyber operations target the major players involved in campaigning, political parties, news and social media more frequently than actual election infrastructure.   Securing elections requires a comprehensive understanding of many types of threats and tactics, from distributed denial of service (DDoS) to data theft to deepfakes, that are likely to impact elections in 2024. It is vital to understand the variety of relevant threat vectors and how they relate, and to ensure mitigation strategies are in place to address the full scope of potential activity.  Election organizations should consider steps to harden infrastructure against common attacks, and utilize account security tools such as Google\'s Advanced Protection Program to protect high-risk accounts. Introduction  The 2024 global election cybersecurity landscape is characterized by a diversity of targets, tactics, and threats. An expansive ecosystem of systems, administrators, campaign infrastructure, and public communications venues must be secured against a diverse array of operators and methods. Any election cybersecurity strategy should begin with a survey of the threat landscape to build a more proactive and tailored security posture.  The cybersecurity community must keep pace as more than two billion voters are expected to head to the polls in 2024. With elections in more than an estimated 50 countries, there is an opportunity to dynamically track how threats to democracy evolve. Understanding how threats are targeting one country will enable us to better anticipate and prepare for upcoming elections globally. At the same time, we must also appreciate the unique context of different countries. Election threats to South Africa, India, and the United States will inevitably differ in some regard. In either case, there is an opportunity for us to prepare with the advantage of intelligence.  ]]> 2024-04-25T10:00:00+00:00 https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/cyber-threats-global-elections/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8500393 False Ransomware,Malware,Hack,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat,Legislation,Cloud,Technical APT 40,APT 29,APT 28,APT 43,APT 31,APT 42 3.0000000000000000 Techworm - News son avis . Microsoft a observé APT28 en utilisant GooseEgg dans le cadre des activités post-compromis contre diverses cibles, y compris les organisations gouvernementales, non gouvernementales, de l'éducation et des transports en Ukraine, en Europe occidentale et en Amérique du Nord. Bien que Gooseegg soit une application de lanceur simple, il peut engendrer d'autres applications sur la ligne de commande avec des autorisations élevées. Cela permet aux acteurs de menace de prendre en charge les activités malveillantes telles que l'exécution du code distant, l'installation d'une porte dérobée et le déplacement latéralement à travers des réseaux compromis.

Clicking on these links resulted in malware infecting computers. Investigation revealed that the links redirected victims to a website where a JavaScript-based download initiated a shortcut file. Opening this file triggered a PowerShell command to download and execute a decoy document, a Python interpreter, and a classified MASEPIE file named Client.py. Subsequently, various tools including OPENSSH, STEELHOOK PowerShell scripts, and the OCEANMAP backdoor were downloaded, with additional tools like IMPACKET and SMBEXEC created for network reconnaissance and lateral movement. The overall tactics, techniques, and tools used pointed to the APT28 group. Notably, the attack strategy indicated a broader plan to compromise the entire organization\'s information and communication system, emphasizing the potential threat to the entire network.

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.

"Google Chrome users who use the browser regularly should be wary of a new attack campaign that distributes malware by posing as a Google Chrome update error message," Trend Micro warns. "The attack campaign has been operational since February 2023 and has a large impact area." The message displayed reads, "UPDATE EXCEPTION. An error occurred in Chrome automatic update. Please install the update package manually later, or wait for the next automatic update." A link is provided at the bottom of the bogus error message that takes the user to what\'s misrepresented as a link that will support a Chrome manual update. In fact the link will download a ZIP file that contains an EXE file. The payload is a cryptojacking Monero miner. A cryptojacker is bad enough since it will drain power and degrade device performance. This one also carries the potential for compromising sensitive information, particularly credentials, and serving as staging for further attacks. This campaign may be more effective for its routine, innocent look. There are no spectacular threats, no promises of instant wealth, just a notice about a failed update. Users can become desensitized to the potential risks bogus messages concerning IT issues carry with them. Informed users are the last line of defense against attacks like these. New school security awareness training can help any organization sustain that line of defense and create a strong security culture.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence SharpTongue Deploys Clever Mail-Stealing Browser Extension “SHARPEXT” (published: July 28, 2022) Volexity researchers discovered SharpExt, a new malicious browser app used by the North-Korea sponsored Velvet Chollima (Kimsuky, SharpTongue, Thallium) group. SharpExt inspects and exfiltrates data from a victim's webmail (AOL or Gmail) account as they browse it. Velvet Chollima continues to add new features to the app, the latest known version (3.0) supports three browsers: Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and Whale, the latter almost exclusively used in South Korea. Following the initial compromise, Velvet Chollima deploy SharpExt and to avoid warning the victim they manually exfiltrate settings files to change the settings and generate a valid "super_mac" security check value. They also hide the newly opened DevTools window and any other warning windows such as a warning regarding extensions running in developer mode. Analyst Comment: Velvet Chollima is known for its tactic of deploying malicious browser extensions, but in the past it was concentrating on stealing credentials instead of emails. The group continues aggressive cyberespionage campaigns exfiltrating military and industrial technologies from Europe, South Korea, and the US. Network defenders should monitor for suspicious instances of PowerShell execution, as well as for traffic to and from known Velvet Chollima infrastructure (available in Anomali Match).

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Lockbit Ransomware Disguised as Copyright Claim E-mail Being Distributed (published: June 24, 2022) ASEC researchers have released their analysis of a recent phishing campaign, active since February 2022. The campaign aims to infect users with Lockbit ransomware, using the pretense of a copyright claim as the phishing lure. The phishing email directs the recipient to open the attached zip file which contains a pdf of the infringed material. In reality, the pdf is a disguised NSIS executable which downloads and installs Lockbit. The ransomware is installed onto the desktop for persistence through desktop change or reboot. Prior to data encryption, Lockbit will delete the volume shadow copy to prevent data recovery, in addition to terminating a variety of services and processes to avoid detection. Analyst Comment: Never click on suspicious attachments or run any executables from suspicious emails. Copyright infringement emails are a common phishing lure. Such emails will be straight forward to rectify if legitimate. If a copyright email is attempting to coerce you into opening attachments, such emails should be treated with extreme caution.

API Hammering makes use of a large volume of Windows API calls to delay the execution of malicious activity to trick sandboxes into thinking the malware is benign. Whilst BazarLoader has utilized the technique in the past, this new variant creates large loops of benign API using a new process. Encoded registry keys within the malware are used for the calls and the large loop count is created from the offset of the first null byte of the first file in System32 directory. Zloader uses a different form of API Hammering to evade sandbox detection. Hardcoded within Zloader are four large functions with many smaller functions within. Each function makes an input/output (I/O) call to mimic the behavior of many legitimate processes. Analyst Comment: Defense in depth is the best defense against sophisticated malware.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Attackers Are Attempting to Exploit Critical F5 BIG-IP RCE (published: May 9, 2022) CVE-2022-1388, a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting F5 BIG-IP multi-purpose networking devices/modules, was made public on May 4, 2022. It is of high severity (CVSSv3 score is 9.8). By May 6, 2022, multiple researchers have developed proof-of concept (PoC) exploits for CVE-2022-1388. The first in-the-wild exploitation attempts were reported on May 8, 2022. Analyst Comment: Update your vulnerable F5 BIG-IP versions 13.x and higher.

Jocker trojan operators add malicious code to legitimate apps and re-upload them to Google Store under different names. To avoid detection, malicious functionality won’t start until the trojan checks that it is available in the store. The malicious payload is split in up to four files. It can block or substitute anti-fraud scripts, and modify X-Requested-With header in an HTTP request. Another Android malware involved in subscription fraud, MobOk trojan, has additional functionality to bypass captcha. MobOk was seen in a malicious app in Google Store, but the most common infection vector is being spread by other Trojans such as Triada. Analyst Comment: Limit your apps to downloads from the official stores (Google Store for Android), avoid new apps with low number of downloads and bad reviews. Pay attention to the terms of use and payment. Avoid granting it too many permissions if those are not crucial to the app alleged function. Monitor your balance and subscription list.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence SocGholish and Zloader – From Fake Updates and Installers to Owning Your Systems (published: April 25, 2022) Cybereason researchers have compared trending attacks involving SocGholish and Zloader malware. Both infection chains begin with social engineering and malicious downloads masquerading as legitimate software, and both lead to data theft and possible ransomware installation. SocGholish attacks rely on drive-by downloads followed by user execution of purported browser installer or browser update. The SocGholish JavaScript payload is obfuscated using random variable names and string manipulation. The attacker domain names are written in reverse order with the individual string characters being put at the odd index positions. Zloader infection starts by masquerading as a popular application such as TeamViewer. Zloader acts as information stealer, backdoor, and downloader. Active since 2016, Zloader actively evolves and has acquired detection evasion capabilities, such as excluding its processes from Windows Defender and using living-off-the-land (LotL) executables. Analyst Comment: All applications should be carefully researched prior to installing on a personal or work machine. Applications that request additional permissions upon installation should be carefully vetted prior to allowing permissions. Additionally, all applications, especially free versions, should only be downloaded from trusted vendors.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Lazarus Targets Chemical Sector (published: April 14, 2022) In January 2022, Symantec researchers discovered a new wave of Operation Dream Job. This operation, attributed to the North Korea-sponsored group Lazarus, utilizes fake job offers via professional social media and email communications. With the new wave of attacks, Operation Dream Job switched from targeting the defense, government, and engineering sectors to targeting South Korean organizations operating within the chemical sector. A targeted user executes an HTM file sent via a link. The HTM file is copied to a DLL file to be injected into the legitimate system management software. It downloads and executes the final backdoor: a trojanized version of the Tukaani project LZMA Utils library (XZ Utils) with a malicious export added (AppMgmt). After the initial access, the attackers gain persistence via scheduled tasks, move laterally, and collect credentials and sensitive information. Analyst Comment: Organizations should train their users to recognize social engineering attacks including those posing as “dream job” proposals. Organizations facing cyberespionage threats should implement a defense-in-depth approach: layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes.

OldGremlin favored phishing as an initial infection vector, crafting intricate phishing emails that target Russian industries. The threat actors utilized the current war between Russia and Ukraine to add a sense of legitimacy to their emails, with claims that users needed to click a link to register for a new credit card, as current ones would be rendered useless by incoming sanctions.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Webinar on Cyberattacks in Ukraine – Summary and Q&A (published: March 14, 2022) As the military conflict in Ukraine continues, the number of cyberattacks in Ukraine is expected to rise in the next six months, according to Kaspersky researchers. Most of the current attacks on Ukraine are of low complexity, but advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks exist too. Gamaredon (Primitive Bear) APT group continues its spearphishing attacks. Sandworm APT targets SOHO network devices with modular Linux malware Cyclops Blink. Other suspected APT campaigns use MicroBackdoor malware or various wipers and fake ransomware (HermeticRansom, HermeticWiper, IsaacWiper, WhisperGate). Honeypot network in Ukraine detected over 20,000 attacking IP addresses, and most of them were seen attacking Ukraine exclusively. Analyst Comment: Harden your infrastructure against DDoS attacks, ransomware and destructive malware, phishing, targeted attacks, supply-chain attacks, and firmware attacks.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence FBI Warns Of Malicious QR Codes Used To Steal Your Money (published: January 23, 2022) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently released a notice that malicious QR codes have been found in the wild. These codes, when scanned, will redirect the victim to a site where they are prompted to enter personal and payment details. The site will then harvest these credentials for cybercriminals to commit fraud and empty bank accounts. This threat vector has been seen in Germany as of December 2021. Analyst Comment: Always be sure to check that emails have been sent from a legitimate source, and that any financial details or method of payment is done through the website. While QR codes are useful and being used by businesses more often, it is easy for cybercriminals to perform this kind of scam. If scanning a physical QR code, ensure the code has not been replaced with a sticker placed on top of the original code. Check the final URL to make sure it is the intended site and looks authentic.

The malware patches existing UEFI drivers and resides in the SPI flash memory located on the motherboard. This means that it will persist even if the hard drive is replaced. Code snippets and IP addresses link the activity to APT41, a group that is operated by a group of Chinese-speaking individuals. MoonBounce is highly sophisticated and very difficult to detect. Analyst Comment: Systems should be configured to take advantage of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) hardware security chips to secure their systems' boot image and firmware, where available. Secure boot is also a viable option to mitigate against attacks that would patch, reconfigure, or flash existing UEFI firmware to implant malicious code.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Earth Lusca Employs Sophisticated Infrastructure, Varied Tools and Techniques (published: January 17, 2022) The Earth Lusca threat group is part of the Winnti cluster. It is one of different Chinese groups that share aspects of their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) including the use of Winnti malware. Earth Lusca were active throughout 2021 committing both cyberespionage operations against government-connected organizations and financially-motivated intrusions targeting gambling and cryptocurrency-related sectors. For intrusion, the group tries different ways in including: spearphishing, watering hole attacks, and exploiting publicly facing servers. Cobalt Strike is one of the group’s preferred post-exploitation tools. It is followed by the use of the BioPass RAT, the Doraemon backdoor, the FunnySwitch backdoor, ShadowPad, and Winnti. The group employs two separate infrastructure clusters, first one is rented Vultr VPS servers used for command-and-control (C2), second one is compromised web servers used to scan for vulnerabilities, tunnel traffic, and Cobalt Strike C2. Analyst Comment: Earth Lusca often relies on tried-and-true techniques that can be stopped by security best practices, such as avoiding clicking on suspicious email/website links and or reacting on random banners urging to update important public-facing applications. Don’t be tricked to download Adobe Flash update, it was discontinued at the end of December 2020.

Historically, Phorpiex utilized sextortion, ransomware delivery, and cryptocurrency clipping. Twizt however, appears to be primarily focused on stealing cryptocurrency and have stolen half a million dollars since November 2020 in the form of Bitcoin, Ether and ERC20 tokens.The botnet features departure from it’s traditional command and control (C2) infrastructure, opting for peer-to-peer (P2P) communications between infected hosts, eliminating the need for C2 communication as each host can fulfill that role. Analyst Comment: Bots within a P2P network need to communicate regularly with other bots to receive and share commands. If the infected bots are on a private network, private IP addresses will be used. Therefore, careful monitoring of network traffic will reveal suspicious activity, and a spike in network resource usage as opposed to the detection of C2 IP addresses.

These charts summarize the IOCs attached to this magazine and provide a glimpse of the threats discussed. Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Russian Cyberattacks Pose Greater Risk to Governments and Other Insights from Our Annual Report (published: October 7, 2021) Approximately 58% of all nation-state attacks observed by Microsoft between July 2020 and June 2021 have been attributed to the Russian-sponsored threat groups, specifically to Cozy Bear (APT29, Nobelium) associated with the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). The United States, Ukraine, and the UK were the top three targeted by them. Russian Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actors increased their effectiveness from a 21% successful compromise rate to a 32% rate comparing year to year. They achieve it by starting an attack with supply-chain compromise, utilizing effective tools such as web shells, and increasing their skills with the cloud environment targeting. Russian APTs are increasingly targeting government agencies for intelligence gathering, which jumped from 3% of their targets a year ago to 53% – largely agencies involved in foreign policy, national security, or defense. Following Russia by the number of APT cyberattacks were North Korea (23%), Iran (11%), and China (8%). Analyst Comment: As the collection of intrusions for potential disruption operations via critical infrastructure attacks became too risky for Russia, it refocused back to gaining access to and harvesting intelligence. The scale and growing effectiveness of the cyberespionage requires a defence-in-depth approach and tools such as Anomali Match that provide real-time forensics capability to identify potential breaches and known actor attributions.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence UK and Allies Accuse China for a Pervasive Pattern of Hacking, Breaching Microsoft Exchange Servers (published: July 19, 2021) On July 19th, 2021, the US, the UK, and other global allies jointly accused China in a pattern of aggressive malicious cyber activity. First, they confirmed that Chinese state-backed actors (previously identified under the group name Hafnium) were responsible for gaining access to computer networks around the world via Microsoft Exchange servers. The attacks took place in early 2021, affecting over a quarter of a million servers worldwide. Additionally, APT31 (Judgement Panda) and APT40 (Kryptonite Panda) were attributed to Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS), The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has indicted four APT40 members, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) shared indicators of compromise of the historic APT40 activity. Analyst Comment: Network defense-in-depth and adherence to information security best practices can assist organizations in reducing the risk. Pay special attention to the patch and vulnerability management, protecting credentials, and continuing network hygiene and monitoring. When possible, enforce the principle of least privilege, use segmentation and strict access control measures for critical data. Organisations can use Anomali Match to perform real time forensic analysis for tracking such attacks.

Background Since 2009, the known tools and capabilities believed to have been used by the Lazarus Group include DDoS botnets, keyloggers, remote access tools (RATs), and drive wiper malware. The most publicly documented malware and tools used by the group actors include Destover, Duuzer, and Hangman. Analysis Several documents identified from May to June 2021 by Twitter users were identified as being linked to the Lazarus group. Documents observed in previous campaigns lured victims with job opportunities for Boeing and BAE systems. These new documents include: Rheinmetall_job_requirements.doc: identified by ESET Research. General_motors_cars.doc: identified by Twitter user @1nternaut. Airbus_job_opportunity_confidential.doc: identified by 360CoreSec. The documents attempted to impersonate new defense contractors and engineering companies like Airbus, General Motors (GM), and Rheinmetall. All of these documents contain macro malware, which has been developed and improved during the course of this campaign and from one target to another. The core techniques for the three malicious documents are the same, but the attackers attempted to reduce the potential detections and increase the faculties of the macros. First iteration: Rheinmetall The first two documents from early May 2021 were related to a German Engineering company focused on the defense and automotive industries, Rheinmetall. The second malicious document appears to include more elaborate content, which may have resulted in the documents going unnoticed by victims. The Macro has base64 encoded files, which are extracted and decoded during execution. Some of the files are split inside the Macro and are not combined until the time of decoding. One of the most distinctive characteristics of this Macro is how it evades detections of a MZ header encoded in base64 (TVoA, TVpB, TVpQ, TVqA, TVqQ or TVro), by separating the first two characters from the rest of the content, as seen in Figure 1. Figure 1: Concealing of MZ header, as captured by Alien Labs. The rest of the content is kept together in lines of 64 characters, and because of this, YARA rules can be used to detect other, typical executable content encoded in base64 aside of the MZ header. In this case, up to nine different YARA rules alerted to suspicious encoded strings in our Alien Labs analysis, like VirtualProtect, GetProcAddress, IsDe]]> 2021-07-06T10:00:00+00:00 https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/656720256/0/alienvault-blogs~Lazarus-campaign-TTPs-and-evolution www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=3027251 False Malware,Threat,Guideline,Medical APT 38,APT 28 None Anomali - Firm Blog Figure 1 - IOC Summary Charts.

Malware loaders are malicious software that typically drop or pull down second-stage malware from command and control (C2) infrastructures. Analyst Comment: Malware as a Service (MaaS) is a relatively new development, which opens the doors of crime to anyone with the money to pay for access. A criminal organization that wants to carry out a malware attack on a target no longer requires in-house technical expertise or infrastructure. Such attacks in most cases share tactics, techniques, and even IOCs. This highlights the importance of intelligence sharing for proactive protection.

The repo shows the expansion of TeamTNTs abilities, and includes scripts for scraping SSH keys, AWS IAM credentials and searching for config files that contain credentials. In addition to AWS credentials, TeamTNT are now also searching for Google Cloud credentials, which is the first instance of the group expanding to GCP. Analyst Comment: Any internal only cloud assets & SSH/Privileged access for customer facing cloud infrastructure should only be accessible via company VPN. This ensures attackers don’t get any admin access from over the internet even if keys or credentials are compromised. Customers should monitor compromised credentials in public leaks & reset the passwords immediately for those accounts.

It has been used to target multiple industries with the largest concentration in engineering, and others including finance, healthcare, and energy. While the underlying code has been rewritten from C++ to Golang (and back again), along with revolving distribution methods, JSWorm remains a consistent threat. Analyst Comment: Ransomware threats often affect organisations in two ways. First encrypting operational critical documents and data. In these cases EDR solutions will help to block potential Ransomwares and data backup solutions will help for restoring files in case an attack is successful. Secondly, sensitive customer and business files are exfiltrated and leaked online by ransomware gangs. DLP solutions will help to identify and block potential data exfiltration attempts.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Bogus Android Clubhouse App Drops Credential-Swiping Malware (published: March 19, 2021) Researchers are warning of a fake version of the popular audio chat app Clubhouse, which delivers malware that steals login credentials for more than 450 apps. Clubhouse has burst on the social media scene over the past few months, gaining hype through its audio-chat rooms where participants can discuss anything from politics to relationships. Despite being invite-only, and only being around for a year, the app is closing in on 13 million downloads. The app is only available on Apple's App Store mobile application marketplace - though plans are in the works to develop one. Analyst Comment: Use only the official stores to download apps to your devices. Be wary of what kinds of permissions you grant to applications. Before downloading an app, do some research. MITRE ATT&CK: [MITRE ATT&CK] Remote File Copy - T1105 Tags: LokiBot, BlackRock, Banking, Android, Clubhouse Trojanized Xcode Project Slips XcodeSpy Malware to Apple Developers (published: March 18, 2021) Researchers from cybersecurity firm SentinelOne have discovered a malicious version of the legitimate iOS TabBarInteraction Xcode project being distributed in a supply-chain attack. The malware, dubbed XcodeSpy, targets Xcode, an integrated development environment (IDE) used in macOS for developing Apple software and applications. The malicious project is a ripped version of TabBarInteraction, a legitimate project that has not been compromised. Malicious Xcode projects are being used to hijack developer systems and spread custom EggShell backdoors. Analyst Comment: Researchers attribute this new targeting of Apple developers to North Korea and Lazarus group: similar TTPs of compromising developer supply chain were discovered in January 2021 when North Korean APT was using a malicious Visual Studio project. Moreover, one of the victims of XcodeSpy is a Japanese organization regularly targeted by North Korea. A behavioral detection solution is required to fully detect the presence of XcodeSpy payloads.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Hypervisor Jackpotting: CARBON SPIDER and SPRITE SPIDER Target ESXi Servers With Ransomware to Maximize Impact (published: February 26, 2021) Recent reporting indicates that two prolific cybercrime threat groups, CARBON SPIDER and SPRITE SPIDER, have begun targeting ESXi, a hypervisor developed by VMWare to run and manage virtual machines. SPRITE SPIDER uses PyXie's LaZagne module to recover vCenter credentials stored in web browsers and runs Mimikatz to steal credentials from host memory. After authenticating to vCenter, SPRITE SPIDER enables ssh to permit persistent access to ESXi devices. In some cases, they also change the root account password or the host’s ssh keys. Before deploying Defray 777, SPRITE SPIDER’s ransomware of choice, they terminate running VMs to allow the ransomware to encrypt files associated with those VMs. CARBON SPIDER has traditionally targeted companies operating POS devices, with initial access being gained using low-volume phishing campaigns against this sector. But throughout 2020 they were observed shifting focus to “Big Game Hunting” with the introduction of the Darkside Ransomware. CARBON SPIDER gains access to ESXi servers using valid credentials and reportedly also logs in over ssh using the Plink utility to drop the Darkside Recommendation: Both CARBON SPIDER and SPRITE SPIDER likely intend to use ransomware targeting ESXi to inflict greater harm – and hopefully realize larger profits – than traditional ransomware operations against Windows systems. Should these campaigns continue and prove to be profitable, we would expect more threat actors to imitate these activities.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence 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. Tags: China, spying 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.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence ‘Baka’ Javascript Skimmer Identified (published: September 6, 2020) Visa have issued a security alert based on identification of a new skimmer, named “Baka”. Based on analysis by Visa Payment Fraud Disruption, the skimmer appears to be more advanced, loading dynamically and using an XOR cipher for obfuscation. The attacks behind Baka are injecting it into checkout pages using a script tag, with the skimming code downloading from the Command and Control (C2) server and executing in memory to steal customer data. Recommendation: eCommerce site owners must take every step necessary to secure their data and safeguard their payment card information. Visa has also released best practices in the security advisory.

After receiving many tech support calls, the computer networks were shut down to prevent further spread of the ransomware, which led to a cecission in border crossings until systems were up again. The ransomware used in this attack is Netwalker ransomware, that left a ransom note demanding initalling $2 million, however when this wasn’t paid in the first week, the ransom increased to $4 million. Recommendation: Ransomware can potentially be blocked by using endpoint protection solutions (HIDS). Always keep your important files backed up following the 3-2-1 rule: have at least 3 different copies, on 2 different mediums, with 1 off-site. In the case of ransomware infection, the affected system must be wiped and reformatted. Other devices on the network should be checked for similar infections. Always check for a decryptor before considering payment; avoid payment at all costs. Ransomware should be reported to law enforcement agencies who are doing their best to track these actors and prevent ransom from being a profitable business for cyber criminals.

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 Malware,Threat,Studies,Guideline APT 38,APT 28,APT 1 None InformationSecurityBuzzNews - Site de News Securite US Cyber Command Starts Uploading Foreign APT Malware To Virus Total]]> 2018-11-09T15:30:00+00:00 https://www.informationsecuritybuzz.com/expert-comments/us-cyber-command/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=888736 False Malware,Threat APT 28 None The Hacker News - The Hacker News est un blog de news de hack (surprenant non?) ]]> 2018-09-27T10:40:03+00:00 https://thehackernews.com/2018/09/uefi-rootkit-malware.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=825841 False Malware APT 28 5.0000000000000000 We Live Security - Editeur Logiciel Antivirus ESET ESET researchers have shown that the Sednit operators used different components of the LoJax malware to target a few government organizations in the Balkans as well as in Central and Eastern Europe ]]> 2018-09-27T09:57:03+00:00 https://www.welivesecurity.com/2018/09/27/lojax-first-uefi-rootkit-found-wild-courtesy-sednit-group/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=825881 False Malware APT 28 None The Hacker News - The Hacker News est un blog de news de hack (surprenant non?) ]]> 2018-09-27T03:30:00+00:00 https://thehackernews.com/2018/09/vpnfilter-router-hacking.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=825842 False Malware VPNFilter,APT 28 5.0000000000000000 Mandiant - Blog Sécu de Mandiant application de cacao de trojan qui envoie des informations systèmey compris les données de trousseau à l'attaquant, un version macOS d'APT28\'s xagent malware , et un new-trojan ransomware .
