The Cyber Threat Is Real and Growing

The

breach could be the most significant cyber incident in American history. Russian intelligence—likely the SVR, the foreign-intelligence branch—infiltrated and sat undetected on U.S. government networks for nearly 10 months. It was a sophisticated, smart and savvy attack that should alarm the public and private sectors.

We may not know the full extent of the damage for some time. Don’t be surprised if more government entities disclose that they too were victims of this attack. Don’t be surprised either if it emerges that private companies were hit. SolarWinds says it has more than 300,000 customers, including 400 companies in the Fortune 500. That’s a lot of potential victims.

It appears that this was purely an intelligence-gathering effort. The SVR sat on government networks collecting as much data as it could, whenever and however it wanted. It was less like tapping into phone lines and more like breaking into the library and wandering around.

Every country conducts espionage. That’s not the alarming part. What is truly scary is that the Russians are inside the house now. Who knows where they’ve planted malware, corrupted or deleted data, locked users out of systems, or destroyed systems entirely? Turning off the system and uninstalling SolarWinds software isn’t enough. It may take years and thousands of hours to unpack fully where the Russians hid themselves and their code.

Using a network-management company’s supply chain of updates to penetrate targeted networks is exceptionally smart. This tactic will spawn imitators, and not only among governments. Tools and techniques used by state actors quickly end up in the hands of criminals, especially when they work. Look how ransomware spread a few years ago.

Hostile governments and criminal groups want to see not only how the attack was carried…

Ransomware Attacks Present a Growing Threat to FIs: FS-ISAC

/in


Even with robust cybersecurity programmes, large institutions are vulnerable to attacks through third-party suppliers. Smaller institutions are at even risk.

FS-ISAC (Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center) has warned in a new report that ransomware attacks are a rising threat to financial institutions.

In the last four months, ransomware operators have publicly claimed successful attacks against eight financial institutions, including three banks, the report says.

FS-ISAC warns that while large institutions may be able to prevent ransomware attacks on their own networks, they can still be impacted by third party suppliers who are often the key targets.

“Smaller institutions with less sophisticated defenses are even more vulnerable to direct attacks,” the report says, pointing to the threat from sophisticated criminal groups as well as from novice criminals who buy ready-made attack products or kits.

The report points to three new revenue streams being employed by ransomware attackers, which heighten the risk to firms, namely:

  • Extorting victims by threatening to publicly name them and publish sensitive data online
  • Auctioning off victims’ data to other criminals on the dark web
  • Ransomware-as-a-service, where less technical criminals can buy ransomware kits from more sophisticated threat actors

“In the APAC region, ransomware represents a rising number of attacks, though they often go unreported,” says Teresa Walsh, Global Head of Intelligence at FS-ISAC. “Threat intelligence is crucial in anticipating and preventing attacks and can also help firms mitigate the fallout from a successful attack.”

The report says threat intelligence can help prevent attacks by enabling institutions to construct pre-emptive defences to known attackers, several of which are named in the report. Such intelligence information can help also firms decide on next steps in the event of a successful attack.

“Knowing the type of ransomware used in the attack can help the victim assess the attacker’s identity, motivations, and attack patterns, such as whether the attacker is known to offer a decryption tool after payment.”

New Wroba Campaign Is Latest Sign of Growing Mobile …

/in


After years of mostly targeting users in Japan, Korea, and other countries in the region, operators of the Trojan expanded their campaign to the US this week.

A new malware campaign targeting smartphone users in the US is the latest sign that mobile devices are becoming the next big target for cyberattackers.

Kaspersky this week said its threat-monitoring systems had detected malware known as the Wroba Trojan, which targets Android and iOS device owners in the US with a fake package-delivery notification.

Android device users who click on a link in the notification are taken to a malicious site with an alert that warns users about their mobile browser being out of date and needing to be updated. Users tricked into clicking “OK” to download the purported browser update end up installing the malware on their device instead.

The download does not work on iPhones. So, users of iPhones who fall for the fake package-delivery notification are instead sent to a phishing page designed to look like Apple’s login page, which attempts to steal their Apple ID credentials.

Once Wroba is installed on a device, it can carry out a variety of malicious activities, according to Kaspersky. This includes sending fake SMS messages, checking installed packages, accessing financial transaction data, stealing the user’s contact list, and serving up phishing pages for stealing credentials, including those associated with bank accounts.

Kaspersky malware analyst Alexander Eremin says the origins of the phone numbers being targeted in the latest campaign are unclear. He surmises they could either be targeted at random or are, for example, numbers stolen from some e-commerce service that performs package deliveries.

In some aspects, Wroba is not unlike other mobile malware — like its distribution via SMS. “But it utilizes some unusual techniques to hide its communication with its command-and-control [C2] server, like using MessagePack format and DES encryption to send the data.”

Wroba also has the ability to update its list of C2 servers with the help of information in social media accounts. The C2 information, for example, might be stored in encrypted form in the “Bio” or similar field in a social media…
