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 Threat Analysis: Active C2 Discovery Using Protocol Emulation Part3 (ShadowPad) (published: October 27, 2022) ShadowPad is a custom, modular malware in use by multiple China-sponsored groups since 2015. VMware researchers analyzed the command-and-control (C2) protocol in recent ShadowPad samples. They uncovered decoding routines and protocol/port combinations such as HTTP/80, HTTP/443, TCP/443, UDP/53, and UDP/443. Active probing revealed 83 likely ShadowPad C2 servers (during September 2021 to September 2022). Additional samples communicating with this infrastructure included Spyder (used by APT41) and ReverseWindow (used by the LuoYu group). Analyst Comment: Researchers can use reverse engineering and active probing to map malicious C2 infrastructure. At the same time, the ShadowPad malware changes the immediate values used in the packet encoding per variant, so finding new samples is crucial for this monitoring.

Raspberry Robin works as a three-file infection: Raspberry Robin LNK file on an USB drive, Raspberry Robin DLL (aka Roshtyak) backdoor, and a heavily-obfuscated .NET DLL that writes LNKs to USB drives. Microsoft researchers analyzed several infection chains likely centered around threat group EvilCorp (aka DEV-0206/DEV-0243). Besides being the initial infection vector, Raspberry Robin was seen delivered by the Fauppod malware, which shares certain code similarities both with Raspberry Robin and with EvilCorp’s Dridex malware. Fauppod/Raspberry Robin infections were followed by additional malware (Bumblebee, Cobalt Strike, IcedID, TrueBot), and eventually led to a ransomware infection (LockBit, Clop). Analyst Comment: Organizations are advised against enabling Autorun of removable media on Windows by default, as it allows automated activation of an inserted, Raspberry Robin-infected USB drive. Apply best practices related to credential hygiene, network segmentation, and attack surface reduction.

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

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.

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

Trending Cyber News and Threat Intelligence 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. MITRE ATT&CK: [MITRE ATT&CK] Phishing - T1566 Tags: EU & UK, Banking and Finance MoonBounce: The Dark Side Of UEFI Firmware (published: January 20, 2022) Kaspersky has reported that in September 2021, a bootloader malware infection had been discovered that embeds itself into UEFI firmware. 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. Administrators should keep their important public-facing applications (such as Microsoft Exchange and Oracle GlassFish Server) updated.

Their incident responders (IR) identified the ransomware as Conti, a fast encrypting ransomware commonly attributed to the cybercriminal group Wizard Spider. The exfiltrated data was published on the dark web, however the firm remains fully operational, and affected customers are being informed. Analyst Comment: Always check to see if there is a decryptor available for the ransomware before considering payment.

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 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 Actively Exploited Bug Bypasses Authentication On Millions Of Routers (published: August 7, 2021) The ongoing attacks were discovered by Juniper Threat Labs researchers exploiting recently discovered vulnerability CVE-2021-20090. This is a critical path traversal vulnerability in the web interfaces of routers with Arcadyan firmware that could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to bypass authentication. The total number of devices exposed to attacks likely reaches millions of routers. Researchers identified attacks originating from China and are deploying a variant of Mirai botnet on vulnerable routers. Analyst Comment: Attackers have continuous and automated routines to look out for publicly accessible vulnerable routers and exploit them as soon as the exploit is made public. To reduce the attack surface, routers management console should only be accessible from specific public IP addresses. Also default password and other security policies should be changed to make it more secure.

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.

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 US 2020 Presidential Apps Riddled with Tracking and Security Flaws (published: September 17, 2020) The Vote Joe 2020 application has been found to be potentially leaking personal data about voters. The app is used by the Joe Biden campaign to engage with voters and get supporters to send out promotional text messages. Using TargetSmart, an intelligence service, the app receives their predictions via API endpoint which has been found to be returning additional data. Voter preference and voter prediction could be seen, while voter preference is publically accessible, the information for TargetSmart was not meant to be publicly available. The app also let users from outside of the United States download, allowing for non-US citizens to have access to the data, as there was no email verification. Vote Joe isn’t the only campaign app with security issues, as the Donald Trump application exposed hardcoded secret keys in the APK. Recommendation: The exposure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) requires affected individuals to take precautionary measures to protect their identity and their finances.

In an apparent ransomware attack, the hospital’s systems crashed with staff unable to access data. While there was no apparent ransom note, 30 servers at the hospital had been encrypted last week, with a ransom note left on one server addressed to Heinrich Heine University. Duesseldorf police contacted the perpetrators to inform them they had attacked the hospital instead of the university, with the perpetrators providing decryption keys, however patients had to be rerouted to other hospitals and therefore a long time before being treated by doctors. Recommendation: Educate your employees on the risks of opening attachments from unknown senders. Anti-spam and antivirus applications provided by trusted vendors should also be employed. Emails that are received from unknown senders should be carefully avoided, and attachments from such senders should not be opened.
