Connecting Ransom Cartel Ransomware with REvil
Unit42 researchers report potential connections between Ransom Cartel and REvil ransomware, noting similarities in TTPs and encryption code. Ransom Cartel, emerging in December 2021, uses advanced techniques like PrintNightmare for privilege escalation and DonPAPI for credential harvesting, suggesting a revival of REvil's capabilities.
TeamTNT Resurfaces?
Trend Micro researchers uncover potential new activity from TeamTNT, exploiting misconfigured Docker APIs to deploy coinminers. The activity involves using ZGrab network scanner, malicious shell scripts, and deploying XMRIG cryptocurrency miner. The recent actions suggest TeamTNT may still be active or imitated by a copycat group.
Ukraine and Poland Targeted by New 'Prestige' Ransomware
Microsoft's Threat Intelligence Center reports 'Prestige' ransomware targeting organizations in Ukraine and Poland. The DEV-0960 group uses tools like RemoteExec and Impacket's WMIexec for deployment, with techniques including scheduled tasks, PowerShell commands, and group policy. The campaign is distinct from recent destructive attacks in Ukraine.
Russian Missile Attacks Disrupt Ukraine Telecommunication And Energy Infrastructure
Russian missile strikes on October 10th and 11th caused power outages and disrupted internet and mobile communications in Ukraine, reducing internet traffic by 35%. Critical infrastructure and services were impacted, prompting authorities to urge restricted use of mobile and electrical services. Ukraine relies on backup solutions and Starlink for connectivity.
COVID-19 Phishing Schemes Persist with Google Forms
Inky researchers report a spike in COVID-19 phishing schemes using Google Forms to steal credentials from small business owners. Attackers impersonate the SBA, tricking victims into disclosing sensitive information. With the upcoming winter months, expect an increase in such phishing emails. Verify communications from official sources only.
Pro-Russian Group Calls for Help in Launching DDoS Attacks
BleepingComputer reveals a pro-Russian group crowdsourcing DDoS attacks against Western countries, with financial incentives for participants. The project targets military and educational organizations in Ukraine and has over 400 members. Payouts range from 20,000 to 80,000 rubles for top contributors, highlighting the growing threat of organized cyberattacks.
