The future of IoT ransomware – targeted multi-function bots and more cyberattacks  

/in


A new IoT malware was detected in October 2021 with as many as 30 exploit mechanisms that were coded into it. This malware called BotenaGo was able to seek out and attack vulnerable targets by itself without having to rely on any human intervention. Once it infects a device, it creates two backdoor ports viz., Ports: 31412 and 19412. It will then use port 19412 to listen and roll through programed exploit functions and execute them in sequence.

BotenaGo is an autonomous malware which means that it doesn’t need any human intervention once it is released. This malware was released accidentally by its developers and could very well be a beachhead malware I.E., malware that opens the infrastructure to another wave of devastating attacks. This was just the preview. Sectrio’s Threat Research team has come across new propagation and exploit strategies that hackers are using to target IoT deployments exclusively.

Gone are the days when hackers were using highjacked devices to only launch attacks on selected targets. Today, in addition to DDoS attacks, highjacked devices are used for a variety of illegal uses by hackers including sending unsolicited SMS messages, sending traffic to sites to boost their traffic numbers, promoting spam links, and more.

Contracted hackers work by offering two modes. In the first mode, a fixed number of highjacked bot devices are offered to prospective buyers for pre-decided uses. The availability of devices is guaranteed in this mode with the hacker promising to add more devices to compensate for the loss of any device due to the cyberattack being detected. In the second mode, a range of devices or a certain compute power is but on the block by a hacker. The hacker doesn’t care about the end use in this mode. This is to cater to cyber criminals who wish to scale up or ramp down their operations based on various factors.

Top ways to strengthen protection for IoT devices in OT

/in


Over the past few decades, we’ve seen cyberthreats evolve from tools to smart weapons, extending their reach as botnets that develop into advanced persistent threats and kill chains.

As IoT matures, the focus in cyberwarfare has turned to protecting devices. Traditional IT and operational technology (OT) are converging, and cybersecurity professionals must explore better ways to protect both domains.

An evolving threat landscape

The threat landscape has changed dramatically, and attacks are increasingly sophisticated. Bad actors may launch coordinated attacks that attack key infrastructure. Nation-state attackers launch ransomware attacks that use weaponized cryptography. Malware propagates from threat actors to sensors, controllers and actuators.

As attacks become more complex, industrial environments are increasingly vulnerable. Most brownfield and greenfield devices in these deployments lack cyber resilience by design, which leaves organizations unprepared.

What distinguishes threats in 2022 from earlier attacks? Fundamentally, the difference is that today’s hackers have a better understanding of how to sidestep detection and prevention controls. Traditional IT security was built with a focus on examining network traffic and utilizing rules-based firewalls, threat intelligence, and policy-based intrusion and anomaly detection.

It is challenging to adapt these IT security strategies for OT, as devices and humans have dramatically different vulnerabilities. Unlike the predictable behavior of devices, human psychology is tougher to proactively address.

Aligning security to industry trends

Device protection requires an approach based on a horizontal platform of transitive trust, together with a vertical pillar of integrated trust. For an effective strategy, organizations must align security to several industry trends.

1. Digital transformation

Digital transformation for IoT devices applies AI and machine learning (ML) to enhance operational efficiency and digital privacy, as well as enable data sharing. AI requires intelligence in both the network and devices to support continuity and runtime integrity of services in automation-powered industrial applications.
