Industrial Control Systems (ICS) pose particular challenges for security as they often use old, as well as diverse, technology, making them especially vulnerable to attack, but crucially they form the backbone of many parts of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) such as gas, electricity and water utilities. Complexity and inertia often limit opportunities to upgrade, and so defence often boils down to good event monitoring and constant diligence. Disciplined process management is your friend.

[#Blog] This latest blog post from Volexity's Threat Intelligence team shares observations of attacks by Iranian-origin #apt CharmingCypress (aka APT42, CharmingKitten, TA453): https://lnkd.in/ePwUpmbF CharmingCypress is an innovator when it comes to persistently pursuing targets via dynamic #socialengineering techniques. This post also describes the variety of #malware used by the group, and how Volexity analysts were able to quickly triage a memory sample from an infected device using Volexity Volcano. #dfir #memoryforensics #threatintel 

Greetings to all of you, Cisco Talos recently discovered a new campaign using at least three new DLang-based malware families, called "Operation Blacksmith," run by the Lazarus Group. Two of these are remote access trojans (RATs), one of which uses Telegram bots and channels as a means of command and control (C2) communication. We track this Telegram-based RAT as "NineRAT" and the non-Telegram-based RAT as "DLRAT". DLang based downloader is followed as "BottomLoader". You can access the detection rule I wrote on this subject from the link. This rule detects all attempts to create persistence via the Lazarus targets organizations worldwide using novel Telegram-based malware written in DLang.

Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) has reported that an Iranian state-sponsored hacking group, Charming Kitten, has targeted the 2024 US presidential campaigns of Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. The group, also known as APT35, "consistently targets high-profile users in Israel and the US," the TAG writes. Associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, APT35 uses #malware, #phishing websites and #MaliciousLinkRedirects among many other techniques. "Today, TAG continues to observe unsuccessful attempts from APT42 to compromise the personal accounts of individuals affiliated with President Biden, Vice President Harris and former President Trump, including current and former government officials and individuals associated with the campaigns.” More at #Proactive #ProactiveInvestors #TechBytes #CyberSecurity #CyberAttack #DataBreach #ThreatAnalysisGroup #Espionage #IranCampaignHack #CharmingKitten http://ow.ly/nHWm105FzZR

Below is Vigilocity's sobering view of active breaches across the United States and malicious (malware) freely communicating through inadequate perimeter security just in the last hour. Let that sink in and the next time you go to a security conference and a well funded vendor suggest their product will stop this - question and be skeptical of that claim. My dear friend and colleague Robert Hansen has been investigating the corrupt actions of CISOs incentivized to purchase security solutions that do not function as advertised. This is absolutely disgraceful behavior. The challenge is hard enough when you have products that are effective. Even unsophisticated threat actors have powerful tools at their disposal making them a force to be reckoned with. Even if you think your company, agency, school or industrial facility isn't a target because "there is nothing of value to steal", you are an easy conduit to a threat actor's intended target - your supply-chain and trusted partners. Thank you Robert Hansen for helping make the world a safer place and the guardians to which we entrust this task, accountable. There is much work to be done. #nationalsecurity #nationaldefense #cyber #breach #ransomware #hackers
