https://securelist.com/coyote-multi-stag...an/111846/  Coyote: A multi-stage banking Trojan abusing the Squirrel installer

Malware descriptions

08 Feb 2024  5 minute read   

Authors

    GReAT

The developers of banking Trojan malware are constantly looking for inventive ways to distribute theirs implants and infect victims. In a recent investigation, we encountered a new malware that specifically targets users of more than 60 banking institutions, mainly from Brazil. What caught our attention was the sophisticated infection chain that makes use of various advanced technologies, setting it apart from known banking Trojan infections.

This malware utilizes the Squirrel installer for distribution, leveraging NodeJS and a relatively new multiplatform programming language called Nim as a loader to complete its infection. We have named this newly discovered Trojan “Coyote” due to the role of coyotes as natural predators of squirrels. The Nim language defines itself as a “statically typed compiled systems programming language that combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula”. The adoption of less popular/cross-platform languages by cybercriminals is something we identified as a trend in our Crimeware and financial cyberthreats for 2024.

In this article, we will delve into the workings of the infection chain and explore the capabilities of this Trojan.
Forget old Delphi and MSI

In the banking Trojan landscape, the use of the Delphi language or MSI installers is a recurring trend among malware creators. It’s a well-known fact in the cybersecurity community that this method serves as a widely used initial infection vector.

Coyote does things a little differently. Instead of going down the usual route with MSI installers, it opted for a relatively new tool for installing and updating Windows desktop applications: Squirrel. As the authors explain, “Squirrel uses NuGet packages to create installation and update packages, which means that you probably already know most of what you need to create an installer.”
Coyote infection chain

By using this tool, Coyote hides its initial stage loader by presenting it as an update packager.
Malicious Squirrel installer contents

The Node.js loader script

When Squirrel is executed, it eventually runs a NodeJS application compiled with Electron. This application executes obfuscated JavaScript code (preload.js), whose primary function is to copy all executables found in a local folder named temp to the user’s captures folder inside the Videos folder. It then runs a signed application from that directory.
NodeJS project structure

NodeJS project structure

Several executables have been identified in use, including those associated with Chrome and OBS Studio. The banker is loaded through DLL sideloading of a dependency of these executables. In all cases analyzed by our team, DLL sideloading occurs in the libcef.dll library.
The Nim loader

An intriguing element of the infection chain is the use of Nim, a relatively new programming language, to load the final stage. The loader’s objective is to unpack a .NET executable and execute it in memory using the CLR. This implies that the loader aims to load the executable and execute it within its process, reminiscent of how Donut operates.
Unpacked .Net executable

Unpacked .Net executable

It’s worth noting that the same entry point, obs-browser-page.exe, is utilized for every machine reboot, serving as a means of persistence.
Last but not least, the Coyote banking Trojan

After all these steps, the Trojan is successfully executed. Coyote does not implement any code obfuscation and only uses string obfuscation with AES encryption.
Encrypted string table building

Encrypted string table building

To retrieve a specific string, it calls a decryption method with the string index as a parameter. The decryption method works by creating a table of base64-encoded data. The first 16 bytes of each decoded data item serve as the IV (Initial Vector), while the rest is the encrypted data later used in the AES decryption routine.
Encrypted data structure

Encrypted data structure

The key is randomly generated by each executable, and the AES decryption algorithm uses the official .Net encryption interfaces. With this approach, for each string access that Coyote needs, it searches inside the table and decrypts each string with a custom IV.
Persistence and goals

Coyote achieves persistence by abusing Windows logon scripts; it first checks if HKCU\Environment\UserInitMprLogonScript exists, and if so, it inserts the registry value as the full path to the signed application, in this case, obs-browser-page.exe.

The Coyote Trojan’s objective is consistent with typical banking Trojan behavior. It monitors all open applications on the victim’s system and waits for the specific banking application or website to be accessed.
Application monitoring routine

Application monitoring routine

In our analysis we identified at least 61 related applications, all originating from Brazil. This strongly suggests that Coyote is indeed a Brazilian banking Trojan, exhibiting behavior similar to that previously reported in our Tetrade blog post.
C2 communication and control

When any banking-related application is executed and utilized, the Coyote banker contacts the C2 with this information. The C2 then responds with various actions on the machine, ranging from keylogging to taking screenshots. Communication with the attacker server will be explained in the following sections.

The Trojan establishes communication with its command and control server using SSL channels with a mutual authentication scheme. This implies that the Trojan possesses a certificate from the attacker-controlled server and uses it during the connection process.

The certificate is stored as a resource in an encrypted format that is decrypted by the X509 library from .Net. Once the malware verifies that the connection is indeed with the attacker, it proceeds to send the information collected from the infected machine and banking applications to the server. The information transmitted includes:

    Machine name
    Randomly generated GUID
    Banking application being used

With this information, the attacker sends a response packet that contains specific actions. To process these actions, the attacker transmits a string with a random delimiter. Each position of the string is then converted to a list, with the first entry representing the command type.

To determine the desired command, it checks the length of the string in the first parameter, which is a random string. In other words, the only difference between commands is the size of the string.

The most important available commands are:
Length Description
12 Take a screenshot
14 Show an overlay window of a fake banking app
15 Show a Window that is in the foreground
17 Kill a process
18 Show a full-screen overlay
21 Shut down the machine
27 Block machine with a fake banking image displaying: “Working on updates…”
31 Enable a keylogger
32 Move mouse cursor to specific X, Y position

The Trojan can also request specific bank card passwords and create a phishing overlay to capture user credentials.
Conclusion

Coyote marks a notable change in Brazilian banking Trojans. Unlike its counterparts, which often use older languages like Delphi, the developers behind Coyote are skilled in modern technologies such as Node.js, .NET, and advanced packaging techniques.

The addition of Nim as a loader adds complexity to the Trojan’s design. This evolution highlights the increasing sophistication within the threat landscape and shows how threat actors are adapting and using the latest languages and tools in their malicious campaigns.

Our telemetry data reveals that up to 90% of infections originated from Brazil. All Kaspersky products detect the threat as HEUR:Trojan-Banker.MSIL.Coyote.gen.

https://adguard.com/en/blog/notification...-mysk.html        TikTok, Meta, X, and others exploit push notifications on iOS to collect data about users
February 9, 2024 6 min read

Apple has long said that fingerprinting — tracking a user through the hardware and software features of their device — is not allowed. But apparently some popular apps have found a backdoor that they are exploiting in plain sight.

Privacy researcher Tommy Mysk has discovered that a number of popular iOS apps are using a push notification feature, first introduced in 2016, to send detailed data about the user’s device to their companies’ servers.

Mysk explained that he noticed this disturbing and seemingly persistent pattern when he examined several social media apps, including TikTok, Facebook, FB Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and X. All of these apps took advantage of the feature that allowed them to customize their push notifications even when not running.

This feature is not intrinsically malicious and serves an important purpose. For example, it can be useful for apps that need to decode the notification payload or download additional content to best present the notification to the user. When an app receives a push notification, iOS signals the app to wake up and run for a short time. During this time, the app can do whatever the developer wants, including tweaking the push notification’s appearance in some way. The latter would be the original purpose of the feature, but the problem is that the app may also be collecting data or sending information about the user during that time.

Mysk has observed that the apps he has studied have learned to take full advantage of this limited run time to collect data from the device and send that data to remote servers. The researcher calls the ability to run code in the background “a gold mine for data-hungry apps.”

So how does it all work, according to Mysk?

    The app developer comes up with a code they want the app to run in the background
    The developer sends a push notification to the user of the app. The push can be about anything, from a news update, a live sports score to a new friend request
    The user’s device receives the push notification, but does not show it on the screen yet. iOS recognizes that the push notification is from the social app and wakes it up in the background. The app is now running, but the user can’t see it or interact with it
    The app runs the code that the developer has prepared in the background. And while it may be innocuous, for example, be used to add more information, such as images, to the notification, it can also be used to harvest data from the user’s device and send that data to the developer’s servers

This scheme can provide developers with a unique combination of the software and hardware characteristics of the user’s device.

    Many apps are using this feature as an opportunity to send detailed device information while running quietly in the background. This includes: system uptime, locale, keyboard language, available memory, battery status, device model, display brightness, to mention a few.

This data can subsequently be used to track the user across applications, Mysk points out.
What data is being collected?

In the video describing the examples of such trickery, Mysk shows the types of data that can be collected by social media companies through the push notification loophole. The collection is done either through the company’s own services or with the help of third-party tools, such as Google’s analytics tools — Google Analytics and Firebase.

TikTok

With TikTok, for example, the app sends the iPhone’s boot time to the remote servers every time it receives a push notification.

TikTok sends a lot of data to external servers

That means that TikTok knows exactly when the user last restarted their iPhone. If collected over a period of time, the boot time can tell how often the user reboots their iPhone, which can indicate how much they use it or how stable it is. It can be also used to identify the user’s device or track their activity.

When the Facebook app sends a push notification to the same device, Facebook receives the same data about the user’s iPhone last boot time.

Facebook

As the researcher notes, this may facilitate tracking the user across different apps. That is because the boot time can be used as a unique identifier for the user’s device. If the same device has multiple apps that collect and send the boot time to the same or different servers, these servers can compare the boot time data and link it to the same device. This way, they can track the user’s behavior and preferences across different apps, even if the user does not use the same account or login information for each app. All of this makes the exploitation of the push notification feature by social media companies a legitimate privacy threat.

Moreover, Mysk notes that some apps, for example Facebook and TikTok, also send data when clearing their notifications in Notification Center, which is an iOS feature that provides an overview of alerts from applications.

For example, when a user clears a Facebook notification, the app sends a request with detailed information, including the information about available memory, the last app event, such as liking a post, the time since last app event, the actor ID, that identifies the user’s account on Facebook, the preferred content size, the timestamp (i.e. the exact date and time) when the notification was cleared, the connection type, and so forth.

When a user clear a Facebook notification, the app sends detailed information about the user to the external servers

Twitter (X) handles the collection of the user’s information more or less the same way as Facebook and TikTok do.

X/Twitter

All three companies are using Firebase, a service offered by Google, Mysk notes, adding that “the frequency at which many apps send device information after being triggered by a notification is mind-blowing.”
New Apple rule for devs: what will they change?

Mysk pins a lot of hopes on the new rules for developers that Apple has put in place and that will come into effect this spring. As it unveiled the rules, Apple announced that developers would need to explain why their apps have to use certain APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which are methods for different apps to communicate and share data.

The developers will have to explain why they need to access device information not only for their own code, but also for third-party SDKs (software development kits) that they add to their apps. Both apps and third-party SDKs will need to write one or more “approved reasons” for why they need to access device information through specific APIs in separate documents called “privacy manifest files.” These reasons should be “consistent with the app’s functionality.” We wrote a detailed review of Apple’s new requirement for developers in August — check it out here.

But the question is, will it stop companies from harvesting data from apps through the push notification backdoor? In theory, it should, but only if Apple seriously enforces these rules and monitors developers’ compliance. Which is by no means guaranteed.

We believe that the new rules will improve the situation, but by how much? It is a difficult question with many variables. Developers will have to take the new rules into account, so there’s a chance they’ll try to follow them in good faith. However, those who are hell-bent on continuing to collect this data will likely choose to take risks. And then it’ll be up to Apple and its reviewers to catch these apps in the act.

In any case, we hope Apple takes a proactive and transparent approach to privacy enforcement, or users’ data will continue to be at risk.      https://safeweb.norton.com/report?url=ht...sk.html%20      Report

BitLocker encryption broken in 43 seconds with sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico — key can be sniffed when using an external TPM
News
By Aaron Klotz published 2 days ago
BitLocker's reliance on a TPM for security is its own downfall in this specific exploit.

Bitlocker is one of the most easily accessible encryption solutions available today, being a built-in feature of Windows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Pro that's designed to secure your data from prying eyes. However, YouTuber stacksmashing demonstrated a colossal security flaw with Bitlocker that allowed him to bypass Windows Bitlocker in less than a minute with a cheap sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico, thus gaining access to the encryption keys that can unlock protected data. After creating the device, the exploit only took 43 seconds to steal the master key.

Data Bullet-proof encryption

When it comes to sensitive info like your passwords, security is a key. To this end, Passwarden employs client-side data encryption using AES-256 and ЕС р-384 protocols. These protocols render your personal information and passwords unreadable to any third parties, be it hackers or even KeepSolid employees.
These encryption protocols will ensure that your passwords and personal information stay out of harm's way at all times. More info about encryption HERE

Two-factor authentication

Add another layer of security to your passwords and information. A one-time passcode will be sent to your indicated email address to ensure that only you can access your account. For extra protection, we also utilize Authenticator App OTP codes.



Master password

A Master password is a specialized password that is required to log in to your Passwarden profile. All your sensitive data is securely locked behind this password. As well, this password plays a crucial role in data encryption and decryption processes. Even Passwarden employees can’t access your Master password or any data in your Passwarden storage.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Passwarden implements end-to-end encryption that guarantees complete invulnerability to all the data kept in Vaults. No one except the owner of the Master Password can get access to the encrypted information stored in Passwarden. Even if third parties succeed to intercept the traffic that goes from your device, they will receive only a bunch of encoded symbols.
