Equifax hacked again ...

FYI...

Equifax website hacked again - redirects to fake Flash update
- https://arstechnica.com/information...n-this-time-to-redirect-to-fake-flash-update/
10/12/2017 - "In May credit reporting service Equifax's website was breached by attackers who eventually made off with Social Security numbers, names, and a dizzying amount of other details for some 145.5 million US consumers. For several hours on Wednesday the site was compromised again, this time to deliver -fraudulent- Adobe Flash updates, which when clicked, infected visitors' computers with adware that was detected by only three of 65 antivirus providers. Randy Abrams, an independent security analyst by day, happened to visit the site Wednesday evening to contest what he said was false information he had just found on his credit report. Eventually, his browser opened up a page on the domain hxxp :centerbluray .info that looked like this:
> https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/first-flash.jpg
... he encountered the -bogus- Flash download links on at least three subsequent visits. The picture above this post is the higher-resolution screenshot he captured during one visit... The file that got delivered when Abrams clicked through is called MediaDownloaderIron.exe. This VirusTotal entry* shows only Panda, Symantec, and Webroot detecting the file as adware. This separate malware analysis from Packet Security** shows the code is highly obfuscated and takes pains to conceal itself from reverse engineering. Malwarebytes[3] flagged the centerbluray .info site as one that pushes malware, while both Eset and Avira provided similar malware warnings for one of the intermediate domains, newcyclevaults .com. In the hour this post was being reported and written, Abrams was unable to reproduce the -redirects- leading to the malicious download. It's possible Equifax has cleaned up its site. It's also possible the attackers have shut down for the night and have the ability to return at will to visit still worse misfortunes on visitors. Equifax representatives didn't respond to an e-mail that included a link to the video and sought comment for this post."

Locky Ransomware’s Recent SPAM
- http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlab...ook-locky-ransomwares-recent-spam-activities/
Oct 19, 2017 - "... A closer look at Locky’s activities reveals a constant: the use of spam. While spam remains to be a major entry point for ransomware, others such as Cerber also employ vectors like exploit kits. Locky, however, appears to concentrate its distribution through large-scale spam campaigns regardless of the variants released by its operators/developers... We’ve also found how the scale and scope of Locky’s distribution are fueled by the Necurs botnet, a spam distribution infrastructure comprising zombified devices. It churns out a sizeable amount of spam emails carrying information stealers like Gameover ZeuS, ZBOT or Dridex, and other ransomware families such as CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, and Jaff. Necurs is Locky’s known and long-time partner in crime, and it’s no coincidence that the surge of Locky-bearing spam emails corresponds with the uptick in Necurs’ own activity. In fact, we saw that Necurs actively pushed Locky from August to October:
> https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/files/2017/10/locky-spam-2.jpg
It’s also worth noting that Necurs also distributed Locky via URL-only spam emails — that is, the messages didn’t have -any- attachments, but rather -links- that divert users to -compromised- websites hosting the ransomware. The use of HTMLs embedded with -links- to the -compromised- site also started gaining traction this year... the continuous changes in Locky’s use of file attachments are its way of adjusting its tools to evade or bypass traditional security. But despite the seeming variety, there are common denominators in Locky’s social engineering, particularly in the email subjects and content. They appear to have the same old flavors, but with relatively different twists. Some of the recent lures we saw were:
- Fake voice message notifications (vishing, or the use of voice-related systems in phishing attacks)
- HTML attachments posing as invoices
- Archive files masquerading as business missives from multinationals, e.g., audit and budget reports
- Fraudulent emails that involve monetary transactions such as bills, parcel/delivery confirmations, and payment receipts..."

Alert (TA17-293A)
Advanced Persistent Threat Activity Targeting Energy and Other Critical Infrastructure Sectors

Oct 20, 2017 - "Systems Affected:
Domain Controllers
File Servers
Email Servers
Overview: This joint Technical Alert (TA) is the result of analytic efforts between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This alert provides information on advanced persistent threat (APT) actions targeting government entities and organizations in the energy, nuclear, water, aviation, and critical manufacturing sectors. Working with U.S. and international partners, DHS and FBI identified victims in these sectors. This report contains indicators of compromise (IOCs) and technical details on the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by APT actors on compromised victims’ networks...
DHS assesses this activity as a multi-stage intrusion campaign by threat actors targeting low security and small networks to gain access and move laterally to networks of major, high value asset owners within the energy sector. Based on malware analysis and observed IOCs, DHS has confidence that this campaign is still ongoing, and threat actors are actively pursuing their ultimate objectives over a long-term campaign. The intent of this product is to educate network defenders and enable them to identify and reduce exposure to malicious activity..."

Oct 24, 2017 - "A new ransomware strain named 'Bad Rabbit' is wreaking havoc in many Eastern European countries, affecting both government agencies and private businesses alike. At the time of writing, the ransomware has hit countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The speed with which Bad Rabbit spread is similar to the WannaCry and NotPetya outbreaks... ESET and Proofpoint researchers say Bad Rabbit has initially spread via -fake- Flash update packages, but the ransomware also appears to come with tools that help it move laterally inside a network, which may explain why it spread so quickly across several organizations in such a small time..."

Fake 'Invoice' SPAM

FYI...

Fake 'Invoice' SPAM - delivers Locky via word docs with embedded OLE objects
- https://myonlinesecurity.co.uk/blan...ware-via-word-docs-with-embedded-ole-objects/
31 Oct 2017 - "... another change in the Necurs botnet malspam delivery that normally delivers Locky ransomware or Trickbot banking trojan. After a week or so of using the DDE exploit, today they have switched back to embedded-OLE-objects inside a word doc... The emails pretend to be invoices with a completely empty-blank-body... The word doc contains an embedded PowerShell -script- that runs when you follow their prompts to double-click-the-image. This contacts a remote server where it opens in memory (without saving to the disc in any obvious way) a set of instructions to contact a list-of-urls in turn, until one responds, to download a small file...

Banking Trojan targets Google Search, 'Coin Miner' Malware - hits Google Play

FYI...

Banking Trojan targets Google Search Results (SEO)
- http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/11/zeus-panda-campaign.html
Nov 2, 2017 - "It has become common for users to use Google to find information that they do not know. In a quick Google search you can find practically anything you need to know. Links returned by a Google search, however, are not guaranteed to be safe. In this situation, the threat actors decided to take advantage of this behavior by using Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to make their malicious links more prevalent in the search results, enabling them to target users with the Zeus-Panda-banking-Trojan. By poisoning the search results for specific banking related keywords, the attackers were able to effectively target specific users in a novel fashion. By targeting primarily financial-related keyword searches and ensuring that their -malicious- results are displayed, the attacker can attempt to maximize the conversion rate of their infections as they can be confident that infected users will be regularly using various financial platforms and thus will enable the attacker to quickly obtain credentials, banking and credit card information, etc. The overall configuration and operation of the infrastructure used to distribute this malware was interesting as it did not rely on distribution methods that Talos regularly sees being used for the distribution of malware. This is another example of how attackers regularly refine and change their techniques and illustrates why ongoing consumption of threat intelligence is essential for ensuring that organizations remain protected against new threats over time... The initial vector used to initiate this infection process does not appear to be email based. In this particular campaign, the attacker(s) targeted specific sets of search keywords that are likely to be queried by potential targets using search engines such as Google. By leveraging compromised web servers, the attacker was able to ensure that their malicious results would be ranked highly within search engines, thus increasing the likelihood that they would be clicked on by potential victims...
Having a sound, layered, defense-in-depth strategy in place will help ensure that organizations can respond to the constantly changing threat landscape. Users, however, must also remain vigilant and think twice before clicking-a-link, opening-an-attachment or even blindly trusting the results of a Google search..."

'Coin Miner' Malware - hits Google Play
- http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlab...iner-mobile-malware-returns-hits-google-play/
Oct 30, 2017 - "... Recently, we found that apps with -malicious- cryptocurrency mining-capabilities on Google Play. These apps used dynamic JavaScript loading and native code injection to avoid detection. We detect these apps as ANDROIDOS_JSMINER and ANDROIDOS_CPUMINER. This is not the first time we’ve found these types of apps on app stores. Several years ago, we found -malicious- apps on the Google-Play-store detected as ANDROIDOS_KAGECOIN, a malware family with hidden-cryptocurrency-mining capabilities:
> https://www.gdatasoftware.com/blog/2014/02/23969-android-malware-goes-to-the-moon
However, we’re now seeing apps used for this purpose, which we detect as ANDROIDOS_JSMINER and ANDROIDOS_CPUMINER. This is not the first time we’ve found these types of apps on app stores. Several years ago, we found malicious apps on the Google Play store detected as ANDROIDOS_KAGECOIN, a malware family with hidden cryptocurrency mining capabilities.*
* https://blog.gdatasoftware.com/blog/article/android-malware-goes-to-the-moon.html
... We’ve previously seen tech support scams** -and- compromised websites used to deliver the Coinhive JavaScript cryptocurrency miner to users. However, we’re now seeing apps used for this purpose, which we detect as ANDROIDOS_JSMINER.
** http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlab...support-scams-deliver-coinhives-monero-miner/
We found two apps; one supposedly helps users pray the rosary, while the other provides discounts of various kinds:
> https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/files/2017/10/android-mining-1.png
...
> https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/files/2017/10/android-mining-2.png
Both of these samples do the same thing once they are started: they will load the JavaScript library code from Coinhive and start mining with the attacker’s own site key... This JavaScript code runs within the app’s webview, but this is -not- visible to the user because the webview is set to run in -invisible- mode by default... Another family of malicious apps takes -legitimate-versions- of apps and adds mining libraries, which are then repackaged and distributed. We detect these as ANDROIDOS_CPUMINER. One version of this malware is in Google Play and disguised as a wallpaper application:
> https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/files/2017/10/android-mining-5.png
These threats highlight how even mobile devices can be used for cryptocurrency mining activities, even if, in practice, the effort results in an insignificant amount of profit. Users should take note of -any- performance degradation on their devices after installing an app. We have reached out to Google, and the apps mentioned in this post are no longer on Google Play..."

This malware file downloads from
