Blog Sécu de Mandiant   Executive Summary APT45 is a long-running, moderately sophisticated North Korean cyber operator that has carried out espionage campaigns as early as 2009. APT45 has gradually expanded into financially-motivated operations, and the group\'s suspected development and deployment of ransomware sets it apart from other North Korean operators.  APT45 and activity clusters suspected of being linked to the group are strongly associated with a distinct genealogy of malware families separate from peer North Korean operators like TEMP.Hermit and APT43.  Among the groups assessed to operate from the Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea (DPRK), APT45 has been the most frequently observed targeting critical infrastructure. Overview Mandiant assesses with high confidence that APT45 is a moderately sophisticated cyber operator that supports the interests of the DPRK. Since at least 2009, APT45 has carried out a range of cyber operations aligned with the shifting geopolitical interests of the North Korean state. Although the group\'s earliest observed activities consisted of espionage campaigns against government agencies and defense industries, APT45 has expanded its remit to financially-motivated operations, including targeting of the financial vertical; we also assess with moderate confidence that APT45 has engaged in the development of ransomware. Additionally, while multiple DPRK-nexus groups focused on healthcare and pharmaceuticals during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, APT45 has continued to target this vertical longer than other groups, suggesting an ongoing mandate to collect related information. Separately, the group has conducted operations against nuclear-related entities, underscoring its role in supporting DPRK priorities. Shifts in Targeting and Expanding Operations Similar to other cyber threat activity attributed to North Korea-nexus groups, shifts in APT45 operations have reflected the DPRK\'s changing priorities. Malware samples indicate the group was active as early as 2009, although an observed focus on government agencies and the defense industry was observed beginning in 2017. Identified activity in 2019 aligned with Pyongyang\'s continued interest in nuclear issues and energy. Although it is not clear if financially-motivated operations are a focus of APT45\'s current mandate, the group is distinct from other North Korean operators in its suspected interest in ransomware. Given available information, it is possible that APT45 is carrying out financially-motivated cybercrime not only in support of its own operations but to generate funds for other North Korean state priorities.

While China, Iran, and North Korea state sponsored actors also pose a moderate to low risk. To reduce the risk of cyber threats associated with the Paris Olympics, organizations should update their threat profiles, conduct security awareness training, and consider travel-related cyber risks. The security community is better prepared for the cyber threats facing the Paris Olympics than it has been for previous Games, thanks to the insights gained from past events. While some entities may face unfamiliar state-sponsored threats, many of the cybercriminal threats will be familiar. While the technical disruption caused by hacktivism and information operations is often temporary, these operations can have an outsized impact during high-profile events with a global audience. Introduction  The 2024 Summer Olympics taking place in Paris, France between July and August creates opportunities for a range of cyber threat actors to pursue profit, notoriety, and intelligence. For organizations involved in the event, understanding relevant threats is key to developing a resilient security posture. Defenders should prepare against a variety of threats that will likely be interested in targeting the Games for different reasons:  Cyber espionage groups are likely to target the 2024 Olympics for information gathering purposes, due to the volume of government officials and senior decision makers attending. Disruptive and destructive operations could potentially target the Games to cause negative psychological effects and reputational damage. This type of activity could take the form of website defacements, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, the deployment of wiper malware, and operational technology (OT) targeting. As a high profile, large-scale sporting event with a global audience, the Olympics represents an ideal stage for such operations given that the impact of any disruption would be significantly magnified.  Information operations will likely leverage interest in the Olympics to spread narratives and disinformation to target audiences. In some cases, threat actors may leverage disruptive and destructive attacks to amplify the spread of particular narratives in hybrid operations. Financially-motivated actors are likely to target the Olympics in v]]> 2024-06-05T14:00:00+00:00 https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/cyber-threats-2024-paris-olympics/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8513588 False Ransomware,Malware,Threat,Studies,Mobile,Cloud,Technical APT 15,APT 31,APT 42 2.0000000000000000 The Hacker News - The Hacker News est un blog de news de hack (surprenant non?)

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 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 Ransomware,Threat,Studies,Prediction,Cloud APT 39,APT 39,APT 17 3.0000000000000000 CyberWarzone - Cyber News [Plus ...]

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence First-Ever Attack Leveraging Kubernetes RBAC to Backdoor Clusters (published: April 21, 2023) A new Monero cryptocurrency-mining campaign is the first recorded case of gaining persistence via Kubernetes (K8s) Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), according to Aquasec researchers. The recorded honeypot attack started with exploiting a misconfigured API server. The attackers preceded by gathering information about the cluster, checking if their cluster was already deployed, and deleting some existing deployments. They used RBAC to gain persistence by creating a new ClusterRole and a new ClusterRole binding. The attackers then created a DaemonSet to use a single API request to target all nodes for deployment. The deployed malicious image from the public registry Docker Hub was named to impersonate a legitimate account and a popular legitimate image. It has been pulled 14,399 times and 60 exposed K8s clusters have been found with signs of exploitation by this campaign. Analyst Comment: Your company should have protocols in place to ensure that all cluster management and cloud storage systems are properly configured and patched. K8s buckets are too often misconfigured and threat actors realize there is potential for malicious activity. A defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) approach is a good mitigation step to help prevent actors from highly-active threat groups.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Xenomorph V3: a New Variant with ATS Targeting More Than 400 Institutions (published: March 10, 2023) Newer versions of the Xenomorph Android banking trojan are able to target 400 applications: cryptocurrency wallets and mobile banking from around the World with the top targeted countries being Spain, Turkey, Poland, USA, and Australia (in that order). Since February 2022, several small, testing Xenomorph campaigns have been detected. Its current version Xenomorph v3 (Xenomorph.C) is available on the Malware-as-a-Service model. This trojan version was delivered using the Zombinder binding service to bind it to a legitimate currency converter. Xenomorph v3 automatically collects and exfiltrates credentials using the ATS (Automated Transfer Systems) framework. The command-and-control traffic is blended in by abusing Discord Content Delivery Network. Analyst Comment: Fraud chain automation makes Xenomorph v3 a dangerous malware that might significantly increase its prevalence on the threat landscape. Users should keep their mobile devices updated and avail of mobile antivirus and VPN protection services. Install only applications that you actually need, use the official store and check the app description and reviews.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence WinorDLL64: A Backdoor From The Vast Lazarus Arsenal? (published: February 23, 2023) When the Wslink downloader (WinorLoaderDLL64.dll) was first discovered in 2021, it had no known payload and no known attribution. Now ESET researchers have discovered a Wslink payload dubbed WinorDLL64. This backdoor uses some of Wslink functions and the Wslink-established TCP connection encrypted with 256-bit AES-CBC cipher. WinorDLL64 has some code similarities with the GhostSecret malware used by North Korea-sponsored Lazarus Group. Analyst Comment: Wslink and WinorDLL64 use a well-developed cryptographic protocol to protect the exchanged data. Innovating advanced persistent groups like Lazarus often come out with new versions of their custom malware. It makes it important for network defenders to leverage the knowledge of a wider security community by adding relevant premium feeds and leveraging the controls automation via Anomali Platform integrations.

(published: January 26, 2023) Palo Alto researchers analyzed a PlugX malware variant (KilllSomeOne) that spreads via USB devices such as floppy, thumb, or flash drives. The variant is used by a technically-skilled group, possibly by the Black Basta ransomware. The actors use special shortcuts, folder icons and settings to make folders impersonating disks and a recycle bin directory. They also name certain folders with the 00A0 (no-break space) Unicode character thus hindering Windows Explorer and the command shell from displaying the folder and all the files inside it. Analyst Comment: Several behavior detections could be used to spot similar PlugX malware variants: DLL side loading, adding registry persistence, and payload execution with rundll32.exe.

One modification is lowering detection by abusing the legitimate Microsoft signed process: DLL side-loading into NTSD.exe — a Symbolic Debugger tool for Windows. The mechanism to remove the available Shadow Copies was changed to using Component Object Model objects that execute Windows Management Instrumentation queries. This sample was detected in a large, unnamed manufacturing company where attackers had network access and were gathering information for two weeks. They have compromised the company’s domain controller and used it to distribute ransomware to all devices within the organization through Group Policy Object. The delivered BAT script bypasses User Account Control and executes a malicious MSI file that contains files for DLL side-loading and an open-source-based reflective loader (OCS files). Analyst Comment: The attackers strive to improve their evasion techniques, their malware on certain steps hides behind Microsoft-signed processes and exists primarily in device memory. It increases the need for the defense-in-depth approach and robust monitoring of your organization domain.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence DEV-0569 Finds New Ways to Deliver Royal Ransomware, Various Payloads (published: November 17, 2022) From August to October, 2022, Microsoft researchers detected new campaigns by a threat group dubbed DEV-0569. For delivery, the group alternated between delivering malicious links by abusing Google Ads for malvertising and by using contact forms on targeted organizations’ public websites. Fake installer files were hosted on typosquatted domains or legitimate repositories (GitHub, OneDrive). First stage was user-downloaded, signed MSI or VHD file (BatLoader malware), leading to second stage payloads such as BumbleBee, Gozi, Royal Ransomware, or Vidar Stealer. Analyst Comment: DEV-0569 is a dangerous group for its abuse of legitimate services and legitimate certificates. Organizations should consider educating and limiting their users regarding software installation options. Links from alternative incoming messaging such as from contact forms should be treated as thorough as links from incoming email traffic.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence New Royal Ransomware Emerges in Multi-Million Dollar Attacks (published: September 29, 2022) AdvIntel and BleepingComputer researchers describe the Royal ransomware group. Several experienced ransomware actors formed this group in January 2022. It started with third-party encryptors such as BlackCat, switched to using its own custom Zeon ransomware, and, since the middle of September 2022, the Royal ransomware. Royal group utilizes targeted callback phishing attacks. Its phishing emails impersonating food delivery and software providers contained phone numbers to cancel the alleged subscription (after the alleged end of a free trial). If an employee calls the number, Royal uses social engineering to convince the victim to install a remote access tool, which is used to gain initial access to the corporate network. Analyst Comment: Use services such as Anomali's Premium Digital Risk Protection to detect the abuse of your brands in typosquatting and phishing attacks.

Since June 2022, Lazarus was able to trojanize several open-source tools (KiTTY, muPDF/Subliminal Recording software installer, PuTTY, TightVNC, and Sumatra PDF Reader). When a target extracts the trojanized tool from the ISO file and installs it, Lazarus is able to deliver their custom malware such as EventHorizon and ZetaNile. In many cases, the final payload was not delivered unless the target manually established an SSH connection to an attacker-controlled IP address provided in the attached ReadMe.txt file. Analyst Comment: All known indicators connected to this recent Lazarus Group campaign are available in the Anomali platform and customers are advised to block these on their infrastructure. Researchers should monitor for the additional User Execution step required for payload delivery.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Microsoft Investigates Iranian Attacks Against the Albanian Government (published: September 8, 2022) Microsoft researchers discovered that groups working under Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS, tracked as OilRig) attacked the government of Albania. The attackers started with initial intrusion in May 2021, proceeded with mailbox exfiltrations between October 2021 and January 2022, organized controlled leaks, and culminated on July 15, 2022, with disruptive ransomware and wiper attacks. This attack is probably a response to the June 2021 Predatory Sparrow’s anti-Iranian cyber operations promoting the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian dissident group largely based in Albania. Analyst Comment: MOIS attack on Albania uses messaging and targeting similar to the previous MEK-associated attack on Iran. It tells us that Iran has chosen to engage in a form of direct and proportional retaliation as it sees it. Still, the attack and its attribution caused Albania to cut diplomatic ties with Iran and expel the country's embassy staff. Organizations should implement multifactor authentication (MFA) for mailbox access and remote connectivity. Anomali platform users advised to block known OilRig network indicators.

I start analyzing public disclosures, and slowly start gaining confidence and being able to craft a narrative around the motivations and tactics around a specific threat actor or malware campaign,” he said. In the case of Transparent Tribe, Malhotra's tracked their growth as a major player in the threat landscape in Asia, as they've added several remote access trojans to their arsenal, targeted high-profile government-adjacent entities in India and expanded their scope across the region.  When he's not threat hunting, Malhotra also speaks to Cisco customers about the current state of cybersecurity in briefings and delivers presentations at conferences around the world (mainly virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic).  “I always try to find the latest and new stuff to talk about. … I've been honing my skills and trying to speak more confidently publicly, but the confidence is backed up with the right kind of knowledge and the threat intelligence, that's what helps me succeed,” he said.  Malhotra is a native of India and spent most of his life there before coming to the U.S. for his master's degree at Mississippi State University. Mississippi was a far cry from everything else he had known up until that point, but he quickly adjusted. “That was the 'Deep South,'” he said. “So there was a culture shock, but the southern hospitality is such a real thing, and it felt very normal there.” Growing up, Malhotra always knew he wanted to work with computers, starting out as a teenager reverse-engineering exploits he'd see others talk about on the internet or just poking at smaller applications. His additional interest in politics and national security made it natural for him to combine the two and focus his research on state-sponsored actors.  He enjoys continuing his research in the Indian subcontinent and sees many parallels between the state of security in India and the U.S. “Th]]> 2022-09-06T08:00:00+00:00 http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2022/09/researcher-spotlight-how-asheer.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=6750298 False Ransomware,Malware,Threat,Guideline APT 36 None Anomali - Firm Blog Figure 1 - IOC Summary Charts.

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

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

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.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence APT-C-35: New Windows Framework Revealed (published: August 11, 2022) The DoNot Team (APT-C-35) are India-sponsored actors active since at least 2016. Morphisec Labs researchers discovered a new Windows framework used by the group in its campaign targeting Pakistani government and defense departments. The attack starts with a spearphishing RTF attachment. If opened in a Microsoft Office application, it downloads a malicious remote template. After the victim enables editing (macroses) a multi-stage framework deployment starts. It includes two shellcode stages followed by main DLL that, based on victim fingerprinting, downloads a custom set of additional information-stealing modules. Analyst Comment: The described DoNot Team framework is pretty unique in its customisation, fingerprinting, and module implementation. At the same time, the general theme of spearphishing attachment that asks the targeted user to enable editing is not new and can be mitigated by anti-phishing training and Microsoft Office settings hardening.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Update: The Phish Goes On - 5 Million Stolen Credentials and Counting (published: June 16, 2022) PIXM researchers describe an ongoing, large-scale Facebook phishing campaign. Its primary targets are Facebook Messenger mobile users and an estimated five million users lost their login credentials. The campaign evades Facebook anti-phishing protection by redirecting to a new page at a legitimate service such as amaze.co, famous.co, funnel-preview.com, or glitch.me. In June 2022, the campaign also employed the tactic of displaying legitimate shopping cart content at the final page for about two seconds before displaying the phishing content. The campaign is attributed to Colombian actor BenderCrack (Hackerasueldo) who monetizes displaying affiliate ads.

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.

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

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.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence What’s With The Shared VBA Code Between Transparent Tribe And Other Threat Actors? (published: February 9, 2022) A recent discovery has been made that links malicious VBA macro code between multiple groups, namely: Transparent Tribe, Donot Team, SideCopy, Operation Hangover, and SideWinder. These groups operate (or operated) out of South Asia and use a variety of techniques with phishing emails and maldocs to target government and military entities within India and Pakistan. The code is similar enough that it suggests cooperation between APT groups, despite having completely different goals/targets. Analyst Comment: This research shows that APT groups are sharing TTPs to assist each other, regardless of motive or target. Files that request content be enabled to properly view the document are often signs of a phishing attack. If such a file is sent to you via a known and trusted sender, that individual should be contacted to verify the authenticity of the attachment prior to opening. Thus, any such file attachment sent by unknown senders should be viewed with the utmost scrutiny, and the attachments should be avoided and properly reported to appropriate personnel.

The site, "windows-upgraded[.]com", is a direct copy of a legitimate Microsoft upgrade portal. Clicking the 'Upgrade Now' button downloads a 734MB ZIP file which contains an excess of dead code; more than likely this is to increase the filesize for bypassing any antivirus scan. RedLine is a well-known infostealer, capable of taking screenshots, using C2 communications, keylogging and more. Analyst Comment: Any official Windows update or installation files will be downloaded through the operating system directly. If offline updates are necessary, only go through Microsoft sites and subdomains. Never update Windows from a third-party site due to this type of attack.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence New CapraRAT Android Malware Targets Indian Government and Military Personnel (published: February 7, 2022) Trend Micro researchers have discovered a new remote access trojan (RAT) dubbed, CapraRAT, that targets Android systems. CapraRAT is attributed to the advanced persistent threat (APT) group, APT36 (Earth Karkaddan, Mythic Leopard, Transparent Tribe), which is believed to be Pakistan-based group that has been active since at least 2016. The Android-targeting CapraRAT shares similarities (capabilities, commands, and function names) to the Windows targeting Crimson RAT, and researchers note that it may be a modified version of the open source AndroRAT. The delivery method of CapraRAT is unknown, however, APT36 is known to use spearphishing emails with attachments or links. Once CapraRAT is installed and executed it will attempt to reach out to a command and control server and subsequently begin stealing various data from an infected device. Analyst Comment: It is important to only use the Google Play Store to obtain your software (for Android users), and avoid installing software from unverified sources because it is easier for malicious applications to get into third-party stores. Applications that ask for additional permissions outside of their normal functionality should be treated with suspicion, and normal functionality for the applications should be reviewed carefully prior to installation. Antivirus applications, if available, should be installed devices.

The group continues to use their primary tactic in spearphishing emails with attachments that leverage remote templates and template injection with a focus on Ukraine. These email attachments are usually Microsoft Word documents that use the remote template to fetch VBScript, execute it to establish persistence, and wait for the group’s instruction via a command and control server. Unit 42 researchers have analyzed the group’s activity and infrastructure dating back to 2018 up to the current border tensions between Russia and Ukraine. The infrastructure behind the campaigns is robust, with clusters of domains that are rotated and parked on different IPs, often on a daily basis.

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.

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

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.

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

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 Microsoft Signed a Malicious Netfilter Rootkit (published: June 25, 2021) Security researchers recently discovered a malicious netfilter driver that is signed by a valid Microsoft signing certificate. The files were initially thought to be a false positive due to the valid signing, but further inspection revealed that the malicious driver called out to a Chinese IP. Further research has analyzed the malware, dropper, and Command and Control (C2) commands. Microsoft is still investigating this incident, but has clarified that they did approve the signing of the driver. Analyst Comment: Malware signed by a trusted source is a threat vector that can be easily missed, as organizations may be tempted to not inspect files from a trusted source. It is important for organizations to have network monitoring as part of their defenses. Additionally, the signing certificate used was quite old, so review and/or expiration of old certificates could prevent this malware from running.

The core vulnerability is due to insecure/faulty handling of TLS, specifically accepting any valid wildcard certificate. The flaws in this software affect over 30 million Dell devices across 128 models, and could be used for Remote Code Execution (RCE). Dell has released patches for these vulnerabilities and currently there are no known actors scanning or exploiting these flaws. Analyst Comment: Any business or customer using Dell hardware should patch this vulnerability to prevent malicious actors from being able to exploit it. The good news is that Dell has addressed the issue. Patch management and asset inventories are critical portions of a good defense in depth security program.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Andariel Evolves to Target South Korea with Ransomware (published: June 15, 2021) Researchers at securelist identified ransomware attacks from Andariel, a sub-group of Lazarus targeting South Korea. Attack victims included entities from manufacturing, home network service, media and construction sectors. These attacks involved malicious Microsoft Word documents containing a macro and used novel techniques to implant a multi-stage payload. The final payload was a ransomware custom made for this specific attack. Analyst Comment: Users should be wary of documents that request Macros to be enabled. All employees should be educated on the risk of opening attachments from unknown senders. Anti-spam and antivirus protections should be implemented and kept up-to-date with the latest version to better ensure security.

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.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence New Sophisticated Email-based Attack From NOBELIUM (published: May 28, 2021) NOBELIUM, the threat actor behind SolarWinds attacks, has been conducting a widespread email campaign against more than 150 organizations. Using attached HTML files containing JavaScript, the email will write an ISO file to disk; this contains a Cobalt Strike beacon that will activate on completion. Once detonated, the attackers have persistent access to a victims’ system for additional objectives such as data harvesting/exfiltration, monitoring, and lateral movement. Analyst Comment: Be sure to update and monitor email filter rules constantly. As noted in the report, many organizations managed to block these malicious emails; however, some payloads successfully bypassed cloud security due to incorrect/poorly implemented filter rules.

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. Whereas network segregation and encryption of critical data will play an important role in reducing the risk.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Cross-Browser Tracking Vulnerability Tracks You Via Installed Apps (published: May 14, 2021) A new method of fingerprinting users has been developed using any browser. Using URL schemes, certain applications can be launched from the browser. With this knowledge, an attacker can flood a client with multiple URL schemes to determine installed applications and create a fingerprint. Google Chrome has certain protections against this attack, but a workaround exists when using the built-in PDF viewer; this resets a flag used for flood protection. The only known protection against scheme flooding is to use browsers across multiple devices. Analyst Comment: It is critical that the latest security patches be applied as soon as possible to the web browser used by your company. Vulnerabilities are discovered relatively frequently, and it is paramount to install the security patches because the vulnerabilities are often posted to open sources where any malicious actor could attempt to mimic the techniques that are described.

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 Google: This Spectre proof-of-concept shows how dangerous these attacks can be (published: March 15, 2021) Google has released a proof of concept (PoC) code to demonstrate the practicality of Spectre side-channel attacks against a browser's JavaScript engine to leak information from its memory. Spectre targeted the process in modern CPUs called speculative execution to leak secrets such as passwords from one site to another. While the PoC demonstrates the JavaScript Spectre attack against Chrome 88's V8 JavaScript engine on an Intel Core i7-6500U CPU on Linux, Google notes it can easily be tweaked for other CPUs, browser versions and operating systems. Analyst Comment: As the density of microchip manufacturing continues to increase, side-channel attacks are likely to be found across many architectures and are difficult (and in some cases impossible) to remediate in software. The PoC of the practicality of performing such an attack using javascript emphasises that developers of both software and hardware be aware of these types of attacks and the means by which they can be used to invalidate existing security controls.

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.

When the attack happened, the entire cybersecurity community agreed that EternalBlue wasn't responsible.But this New York Times article said otherwise, blaming the Baltimore attack on EternalBlue. And there are hundreds of other news articles [eg] that agree, citing the New York Times. There are no news articles that dispute this.In a recent book, the author of that article admits it's not true, that EternalBlue didn't cause the ransomware to spread. But they defend themselves as it being essentially true, that EternalBlue is responsible for a lot of bad things, even if technically, not in this case. Such errors are justified, on the grounds they are generalizations and simplifications needed for the mass audience.So we are left with the situation Orwell describes: all records tell the same tale -- when the lie passes into history, it becomes the truth.Orwell continues:He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic. Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. At one time it had been a sign of madness to believe that the earth goes round the sun; today, to believe that the past is inalterable. He might be ALONE in holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic. But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him: the horror was that he might also be wrong.I'm definitely a lunatic, alone in my beliefs. I sure hope I'm not wrong.

In this webinar, AJ, and I describe COVID-19 attacks in January through March, the groups behind them, and key MITRE ATT&CK techniques being employed. We then discuss ways an organization can keep themselves safe from these types of attacks. Pandemic Background COVID-19 is a pandemic viral respiratory disease, originally identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. At the time of the webinar, it had infected around 1.5 million people worldwide. Within the first month, cyber actors capitalized on the opportunity.  COVID Attack Timeline December 2019 - January 2020 At the end of December 2019, China alerted the World Health Organization (WHO) that there was an outbreak in Wuhan, China. Within a month, the first cyber events were being recorded. Around January 31, 2020, malicious emails (T1566.001) using the Emotet malware (S0367) and a phishing campaign (T1566.001) using LokiBot (S0447) were tied to TA542 alias Mummy Spider. Emotet, in particular, was prolific. It originally started as a banking Trojan, then evolved into a delivery mechanism for an initial payload that infected systems to download additional malware families such as TrickBot (S0266). Around this same time, there was a marked increase in the registration of domain names with COVID-19 naming conventions, a key indicator of an uptick in phishing campaigns. February 2020 In early February, the progression of adversaries using uncertainty about and thirst for information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic became apparent. New malware variants and malware families were reported employing coronavirus related content, including NanoCore RAT (S0336) and Parallax RAT, a newer remote-access Trojan, to infect unsuspecting users. Throughout February, cybercrime actors launched several phishing campaigns (T1566.001) to deliver information stealer AZORult (S0344). With worldwide government health agencies giving advice on cyber and physical health, threat actors aligned with nation-states such as Russia (Hades APT), China (Mustang Panda), and North Korea (Kimsuky - G0094) used this messaging to lure individuals to download and/or execute malicious files disguised as legitimate documents. These state-sponsored groups used convincing lures to impersonate organizations such as the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO), and various public health government agencies to achieve short- and long-term national objectives. March 2020 In March, we observed a flurry of nation-state and cybercrime attributed malicious activity seeking to exploit the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Grindr Fixed a Bug Allowing Full Takeover of Any User Account (published: October 3, 2020) Grindr, an LGBT networking platform, has fixed a vulnerability that could allow any account to be hijacked. The vulnerability was identified by security researcher Wassime Bouimadaghene, finding that the reset token was leaked in the page’s response content. This would enable anyone who knows a users’ email address to generate the reset link that is sent via email. Gaining account access would enable an attacker to obtain sensitive information such as pictures stored on the app (including NSFW), HIV status, location, and messages. Grindr has announced a bug bounty program. Recommendation: If your account has been breached, you can reset the password using the reset link sent to the associated email address. Tags: Browser, Exposed tokens, Grindr, Sensitive Info XDSpy: Stealing Government Secrets Since 2011 (published: October 2, 2020) Security researchers from ESET have identified a new Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group that has been targeting Eastern European governments and businesses for up to nine years. Dubbed “XDSpy,” ESET was unable to identify any code similarity or shared infrastructure with other known groups and believe the group operates in a UTC+2 or UTC+3 time zone, Monday to Friday. XDSpy mainly uses spearphishing emails with some variance, some will contain attachments or links to malicious files, usually a ZIP or RAR archive. When the malicious file has infected a victim, it will install “XDDown,” a downloader that will begin to install additional plugins that will begin to exfiltrate files, passwords, and nearby SSIDs. XDSpy has also been observed using “CVE-2020-0968” (Internet Explorer legacy JavaScript vulnerability) bearing some resemblance to DarkHotel campaigns and Operation Domino, ESET do not believe these campaigns are related but may be using the same exploit broker. Recommendation: Defense-in-depth (layering of security mechanisms, redundancy, fail-safe defense processes) is the best way to ensure safety from APTs, including a focus on both network and host-based security. Prevention and detection capabilities should also be in place. Furthermore, all employees should be educated on the risks of spearphishing and how to identify such attempts.

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.
