Russia Aims to Find Logistical Weaknesses in Ukraine for Supply Chain Compromise
Experts warn that Russia is focusing on Ukraine's supply chain vulnerabilities to gain a strategic advantage. The NSA's Rob Joyce highlights that Russia is targeting critical infrastructure and Western logistical support to disrupt the flow of humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. U.S. organizations are also at risk, as Russia intensifies intelligence gathering and cyber operations.
Patch PaperCut Servers to Defend Against Exploit
Horizon3 has released a PoC exploiting PaperCut print management software, targeting vulnerabilities CVE-2023-27350 and CVE-2023-27351 for remote code execution. Patching to the latest versions is essential to prevent attacks by Clop and LockBit ransomware gangs, which use these exploits to install remote access software and execute PowerShell commands for system compromise and data exfiltration.
OCX#HARVESTER Campaign Unleashes More_eggs Suite on Financial Service Organizations
Since December 2022, the OCX#HARVESTER campaign has targeted financial service organizations using the More_eggs malware suite. Phishing emails deliver malicious shortcuts, leading to code execution and persistence via living off-the-land binaries like msxsl.exe. The malware collects system data, captures desktop images, and connects to the attackers' C2 for further exploitation.
BumbleBee Malware Found in Disguised Software
BumbleBee malware is being distributed through trojanized installers for popular software such as Zoom and Cisco AnyConnect, exploiting Google Ads and SEO poisoning. Secureworks discovered the campaign involves fake download pages and malicious PowerShell scripts, leading to additional payloads for data collection and ransomware. Threat actors use remote access software to move laterally and deploy ransomware.
UK Cyber Agency Warns of the Rise of 'Ideologically' Motivated Russian Cyber Threat
The NCSC has warned of emerging ideologically motivated Russian cyber threat groups. Unlike traditional cyber criminals, these groups are driven by sympathies towards Russia's invasion and are less predictable. Their attacks include DDoS, web defacements, and misinformation, with a potential focus on Western critical national infrastructure.
Russia Maintains its Sights on Ukraine
Russia continues to pressure Ukraine with cyber operations, including espionage, data-wiping attacks, and misinformation. Google TAG's Q1 2023 report highlights APT28's focus on Ukrainian government, defense, energy, and other sectors. Over 60% of observed Russian phishing campaigns target Ukraine, using emails, SMS, and Telegram to distribute malware and steal credentials.
