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.

Unsurprisingly, employees recycle passwords 13 times on average. In other words, employees are using the same passwords over and over. And in many cases, especially for corporate applications and resources that lack strong password requirements, some passwords just aren’t strong enough. Cybercriminals know this, and it’s why breaches happen. If hackers get access to your trusted data, the ramifications can be dire. The costs of a data breach go well beyond financial, and include damage to your company’s brand, trust and reputation. Why do we need stronger and longer passwords? As malware, phishing, and ransomware continue to skyrocket, we must understand that the password is the primary method for attackers to gain access to corporate systems.  Phishing passwords may be the easiest method, but passwords can also be cracked. The stronger the password, the harder it is for cybercriminals to decode. In a typical attack—the brute force password attack—attackers will use software that quickly attempts every possible password combination of numbers, letters, and symbols. These software programs get better as computing power increases. For example, an eight-character strong password was not long ago considered secure and difficult to crack. Today, it can be cracked in eight hours. But if we tack on two more characters to make it ten-character, cracking the password can take approximately five years.  Why do we need unique passwords for every login? As mentioned above, phishing is one of the simplest ways for hackers to steal our passwords. If you think your company has been victimized by phishing, malware, or ransomware, perhaps you’ve taken steps to reset those passwords. But the security risk here is if employees are using the same passwords for different apps, sites or resources. Have you heard about credential stuffing? With credential stuffing, attackers take username and password combinations they already know (which have been stolen or paid for on the dark web) and try them everywhere they can. Use of credential stuffing is escalating, and businesses of all sizes should take note. This type of attack is only successful if and when employees use the same password for different logins. What about password managers? Managing all those passwords doesn’t have to be complicated. A password management system is software that keeps an up-to-date list of all your passwords and logins, using a master password to access the password “vault”. That master password is the only one you need to remember. What if a hacker accesses your vault? Isn’t that riskier? Sure, there is undoubtedly an element of risk, but it’s critical to think in terms of relative safety. As a general rule, using some type of password ]]> 2021-05-06T10:00:00+00:00 https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/651048994/0/alienvault-blogs~Password-security-tips-and-best-practices-for-enterprises www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=2745384 False Ransomware,Data Breach,Hack LastPass None Graham Cluley - Blog Security 2019-10-24T10:59:44+00:00 https://www.grahamcluley.com/smashing-security-151-frankly-sometimes-paying-the-ransom-is-a-good-idea/ www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=1423785 False Ransomware LastPass None
