https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotfors...attacking/ Russia Had Access for Months to Ukraine's Largest Telecom Operator Before Attacking
Silviu STAHIE
January 05, 2024 Following the December attack on Ukraine's largest telecom operator, Kyivstar, more than 24 million subscribers had their Internet and mobile connections severed. Now, a report from the head of the Security Service of Ukraine reveals that Russia had access to critical infrastructure for months.
Until Russia compromised Kyivstar, Ukraine held its own in cyberwarfare. With minor exceptions, the Russians failed to make a dent in critical infrastructure, and they definitely tried. Ukrainian authorities reported numerous attacks against various organizations that had little effect.
In fact, the chief of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Illia Vitiuk, said in an interview with Reuters that they prevented over 4,500 major cyberattacks in 2023 alone. However, the attack on Kyivstar telecom operators was different, as the attacker completely destroyed the company's core, as Vitiuk described the incident.
"For now, we can say securely, that they were in the system at least since May 2023," Vitiuk said in the interview. “I cannot say right now, since what time they had ... full access: probably at least since November."
"This attack is a big message, a big warning, not only to Ukraine, but for the whole Western world to understand that no one is actually untouchable," said Vitiuk. The attackers, believed to be Sandworm (a group belonging to the Russian military), wiped out the entire core of the company, which was comprised of thousands of PCs and virtual machines.
The SBU found that the attackers had been inside the systems for months, exfiltrating data, possibly tracking phone locations, intercepting SMS messages, and more. Fortunately, the company rebuilt systems in a few days and resumed operations.
One consequence of the attack was that the air-raid siren didn't work in certain areas, which could have been a serious issue. Strangely enough, the Russians didn't take advantage of the attack on the telecom operator, and even Vitiuk said that it's unclear why they chose December 12 in the first place.
"Speaking about drone detection, speaking about missile detection, luckily, no, this situation didn't affect us strongly," Vitiuk also added.
Lastly, the SBU chief also said something of note. The December 12 attack on Kyivstar was not the first. SBU stopped another one in 2023, which remained undisclosed until now. They could only stop it because they had also infiltrated Russian telecom operators, which let them know about the Russian plans.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technolog...r-AA1m9Bh4 I review security software for a living and I just found a new way to stop online scams
Story by Brian Nadel •
1w
I spend my days trying out, testing and writing about a variety of security apps, but I’ve noticed that scammers have gotten a lot better lately at making their come-ons look real.
Maybe, it’s that they are getting smarter or they’re effectively using a, but their scams seem to be better targeted and more believable. Unfortunately, traditional malware protection like the best antivirus software with scanning, behavioral analysis and real time monitoring is just not enough anymore with an onslaught of high-quality scams showing up on-screen, in apps and in my inbox.
That’s where Bitdefender’s Scamio comes in. It’s a new approach that extends these defenses with a website for checking if a scam is hiding inside an email, an online advertisement or even what you think is a support chatbot. It’s free, but if you don’t have a Bitdefender account, you need to register for one.
It’s worth the effort because unlike browser extensions that need to be installed and turned on to protect against fraud and swindles, Scamio is based on a Bitdefender website. That said, there’s nothing to download, install or configure, and it leaves no footprint on your system. To the computer, phone or tablet, it looks like any other site and has a minimal impact on performance, making Scamio among the easiest ways to protect against getting caught in a technical support, sales or other scam.

Fighting fire with fire, Scamio is based on the latest advances in machine learning to combat artificial intelligence used by online fraudsters. The key is that Scamio has been trained using up to date data on the most popular scams, plus a few obscure ones. It works by carefully sifting through this data and picking out patterns that scammers use to recognize the next swindle attempt even if it’s never been seen before.
Even better, with new data added daily (or even hourly), Scamio can grow and evolve as the scamming techniques change over time. The more information it has to analyze, the better, more effective and quicker it can become.
Rather than examining a system’s memory and hard drive for known threats, Scamio focuses on the scam, its appearance, links and wording. It analyzes screenshots, text streams, QR codes or even the suspect item’s wording to identify potential cons. The bulk of the analysis and processing is done online at Bitdefender’s malware lab and server farms. Unfortunately, that leaves you without this extra layer of protection when you’re offline.
While I applaud Scamio’s ability to steer me away from scams and the web’s worst dark alleys, it is just a start. Right now, it’s available via the Scamio website and as an adjunct to Facebook Messenger. Next up, the service will widen its protective circle and become much more useful with hooks for WhatsApp, Telegram and Discord, which have no shortage of scamming complaints.

It was easy for me to check for scams with Scamio. I used it on a variety of Windows, Mac, Android and iOS systems with the top browsers. I fed it a variety of suspect material and waited for its judgement. I started by dropping an obviously fake invoice for a different antivirus company into Scamio and it took 1 minute and 4 seconds to show me that it was actually a fake.

I followed up with several subtler online scams for job offers from companies that don’t exist, dating offers that don’t involve real people and banking notices from places I don’t have an account. Scamio passed each test and verified that an authentic email was in fact legit.
A work in progress, it balked at looking over some Russian text as well as a Gmail preview that I wanted to check before downloading and it let pass an obviously fake dating request. All told, I used a dozen scams that took as little as 37 seconds to analyze. Engineers say that its assessment speed will increase over time as the code gets optimized.
In addition to a warning to steer clear, Scamio explains what aspect of the item is dangerous so you can learn what to avoid in the future. There’s the extra bonus of being able to share Scamio’s output with an IT person at work or someone at home. Just use the three circle link in the upper right corner and it can be emailed, texted or shared via Outlook or Teams.
More than just another layer of defense

While I like Scamio’s approach and implementation, I’m hoping that it is just the start for this type of scam alert, with its scope growing as time goes on. In a very real sense, Scamio has the power to not only add another layer of defense to traditional security software but it has the potential to learn and block scams that can only be dreamed of today. This could make living and buying online a lot safer. At a deeper, more philosophical, level I appreciate that Scamio provides a nice way to know the enemy a little more intimately and respond to their actions in what is quickly becoming a scamming cold war.

2024 Cybersecurity Forecast: Ransomware's New Tactics and Targets
Martin Zugec
January 02, 2024 2024 Cybersecurity Forecast: Ransomware's New Tactics and Targets
2024 Cybersecurity Forecast: Ransomware's New Tactics and Targets
In the past, cybercriminals often operated with the motive to "do it for lulz," engaging in malicious activities purely for the sake of amusement or creating chaos. Today, they’re driven by profit, transforming into rational business entities seeking scalable, repeatable processes for a steady income. This change in motivation has made predicting their behavior somewhat easier, as their actions are now grounded in strategic objectives rather than unpredictable whims.
In 2024, we expect the ransomware threat will continue taking an opportunistic turn—a trend that we first highlighted in 2022, gained momentum throughout 2023 (marked by multiple advisories, culminating in the ongoing CitrixBleed exploitation), and is projected to reach maturity this year.
1. Acceleration of Opportunistic Ransomware with Zero-Day Exploits
In 2024, ransomware threat actors will continue adopting a more opportunistic mindset, rapidly weaponizing newly discovered vulnerabilities within 24 hours. After compromising many networks using automated scanners, they will manually triage them to determine the optimal monetization method and select the appropriate attack mode. As companies increasingly adopt prioritized patching and swift response, more sophisticated groups with substantial resources will begin investing in genuine zero-day vulnerabilities, bypassing the need to wait for proof-of-concept (PoC) code availability.
Ransomware groups will continue focusing on enterprise software. Both enterprise vendors and customers need to adapt to this trend. Beyond its widespread adoption, enterprise software stands out as a prime target due to its traditional maintenance cycles. In contrast to the fully automated and seamless update mechanisms prevalent in consumer software, such as browsers or office applications, enterprise software typically follows a more conservative, staged approach to patching. This creates a window of opportunity for threat actors, and their efforts will likely be directed toward expanding the duration of this window as much as possible. The traditional lifecycle approach of enterprise software may need to undergo a transformation to cope with escalating pressures imposed by threat actors.
Given the time required for this adjustment, a temporary imbalance between offensive and defensive capabilities may occur. Following a few high-profile attacks, companies are anticipated to focus on risk management solutions.
2. Streamlining Victim Assessment and Triage
Opportunistic attacks, executed by initial access brokers or ransomware affiliates, swiftly gain access to hundreds or thousands of networks. After this automated initial compromise, a manual triage process follows, requiring additional time. This dwell time provides defenders with an opportunity to detect and mitigate the threat, especially with effective detection and response capabilities (XDR or MDR).
Triage is crucial for determining the maximum ransom potential and the most effective method, considering factors such as industry or company size. Manufacturing and similar operation-dependent industries are susceptible to ransomware deployment, while sectors like healthcare or law offices are more prone to data theft. Ransomware groups are increasingly adept at understanding industry nuances. Gaming studios, in particular, need to stay alert as we expect attacks to rise in 2024.
Small or medium-sized businesses with limited ransom potential serve as sources for business connections to escalate attacks, often through VPN/VDI connections or business email compromise. In this scenario, the most valuable asset for ransomware affiliates might not be what you have, but who you know. The initial exploitation of a vulnerability can compromise a company through a supply chain, even if it doesn't directly use the affected software.
3. Modernization of Ransomware Code
Ransomware developers are increasingly adopting Rust as their primary programming language. Rust allows developers to write more secure code, while making it harder for security researchers to reverse engineer and analyze. Additionally, it enables the development of code that can be compiled for different operating systems. While the development of actual ransomware for macOS is not anticipated, there is an increasing trend in targeting hypervisors and other server workloads.
Instead of fully encrypting files, ransomware code will favor intermittent encryption and gradually transition towards quantum-resilient encryption like NTRU Encryption. Intermittent encryption involves encrypting only a portion of a file at a time, offering two key advantages: first, it becomes more challenging for security tools to detect the attack due to the statistical similarity between the partially encrypted file and the original; and second, the encryption process is faster, enabling the ransomware to encrypt more files within a given timeframe.
In summary, high-quality ransomware code is becoming a commodity. Ransomware often impacts a large number of systems and vast amounts of data. However, despite professional development, the recovery of data remains challenging and is never guaranteed to be 100%. More ransomware groups are transitioning to data theft as a strategy, recognizing the persistent difficulties in data recovery, regardless of the code's quality.
4. Continuous Shift Towards Data Theft Over Ransomware Encryption
Data encryption will continue to be part of the arsenal for sophisticated ransomware groups, but it will take on a supplementary role. A shift towards data theft and exfiltration continues, moving away from the traditional focus on ransomware encryption (exceptions are industries where ensuring availability is prioritized over confidentiality, such as manufacturing). A few notable examples are CL0P, BianLian, Avos, BlackCat, Hunters International, and Rhysida.
Data exfiltration holds the potential for higher payouts compared to ransomware attacks. After successful data exfiltration, victims confront a binary decision: keep the data confidential or permit threat actors to publish it, in contrast to the more flexible outcomes of data encryption scenarios.
Unlike ransomware, data exfiltration avoids causing destruction, enabling ransomware groups to portray themselves as involuntary penetration testers. Data exfiltration allows victims to maintain the facade of data confidentiality, as threat actors offer to discreetly handle breaches. Cybercriminals exploit legislation and compliance knowledge to force victims into meeting increasing ransom demands, and some victims might opt to pay a ransom to evade fines or negative impact on the brand.
A screenshot of a computer
Description automatically generated
Hunters International is one of the groups that prefer data exfiltration to data encryption.
Case in point, as shown in results from our "Bitdefender 2023 Cybersecurity Assessment" survey, more than 70% of USA respondents said they had been told to keep a breach under wraps, while 55% said they had kept a breach confidential when they knew it should have been reported. Law enforcement agencies often obtain access to leaked data from ransomware groups, which may contain information about security breaches that have not been reported. As the shift continues, we expect (and hope) to see heightened scrutiny from regulatory bodies.
5. Elevation of Ransomware Groups to Higher Sophistication
The shift from security generalists to increased specialization is fueled by the profit-sharing model of criminal groups, a more accurate term for the Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) business model. These sophisticated groups actively recruit members with advanced skills and higher education.
"Sorry, you can't join our ransomware group, you don't have a Bachelors degree in computer science and you don't seem to have any certificates"
— vx-underground (@vxunderground) November 5, 2023
Facing scalability challenges linked to opportunistic attacks, ransomware groups are expected to actively seek automation skills in the near future. To maximize ransom, a profound understanding of how businesses operate is crucial, leading to a greater emphasis on cyber insurance, compliance, and legislative expertise. This opens more opportunities for non-technical specialists to join the expanding criminal ecosystem.
For successful ransomware groups, a key factor is attracting the most talented and well-connected affiliates, and the competitive landscape among ransomware groups will intensify. Groups struggling with operational security challenges, exemplified by BlackCat (shut down recently by law enforcement and connected to previously failed BlackMatter and DarkSide groups), will likely rebrand but struggle to attract more sophisticated affiliates, especially after multiple failures. Some groups may opt to sell their remaining assets to other aspiring cybercriminals and vanish, as was the case with Hive and Hunters International (read our analysis). As ransomware groups increasingly rely on specialists, their brand and reputation are positioned to play a more substantial role—potentially becoming a vulnerability in their operations.
6. Disruption of State-Sponsored Techniques by Ransomware Groups
The increasing sophistication of ransomware groups in 2024 will lead to the widespread adoption of tools and techniques traditionally associated with state-sponsored threat actors. DLL sideloading will become a common practice, and "living off the land" techniques will remain mainstream. As companies of all sizes adopt effective defenses like MDR and XDR, it will become increasingly challenging for state-sponsored groups to conceal their activities, forcing them to shift towards custom sophisticated malware and complex attack vectors, including supply chain attacks.
Regimes that have tolerated the existence of these ransomware groups may need to set rules of engagement when these operations start causing conflicts with their allies or undermining their own interests.
Conclusion
In summary, 2024 is anticipated to be another year of ransomware. However, it’s critical to recognize that the ransomware business model has evolved significantly since 2017, and we are in the midst of one of these transitions. Staying informed about the latest trends is crucial, as is prioritizing fundamental strategies like defense-in-depth and multilayered security. The emphasis should be on acquiring capabilities rather than tools, covering prevention, protection, detection, and response capabilities.
These predictions are a result of the dedicated work put in by our security researchers at Bitdefender Labs and the practical insights of our security professionals in the Bitdefender MDR team. We would like to thank them for their hard work, especially their efforts in analyzing ransomware code to develop free decryptors.

Kaspersky’s projections for 2024’s Advanced Threats Landscape |

https://www.kaspersky.com/about/press-re...-landscape November 14, 2023
Ahead of the Curve: Kaspersky’s projections for 2024’s Advanced Threats Landscape
Kaspersky Global Research and Analyses Team (GReAT) experts offer insights and projections for 2024 in the Kaspersky Security Bulletin, with a focus on the evolution of Advanced Persistent Threats (APT).
Kaspersky researchers predict APT actors will introduce new exploits on mobile, wearables, and smart devices and use them to form botnets, refine supply chain attack methods, and utilize AI for more effective spear-phishing. These advancements are anticipated to intensify politically motivated attacks and cybercrime.
AI-powered impersonation, the rise of creative exploits for mobile, and new botnets
Emerging AI tools will streamline spear-phishing message production, even enabling the mimicry of specific individuals. Attackers may devise creative automation methods by gathering online data and feeding it to LLMs to craft letters in the style of a person connected to the victim.
“Operation Triangulation” marks a groundbreaking year for mobile exploits, potentially inspiring more research into APTs attacking mobile, wearables, and smart devices. We will likely witness threat actors broadening their surveillance efforts, targeting various consumer devices through vulnerabilities and “silent” exploit delivery methods, including zero-click attacks through messengers, one-click attacks via SMS or messaging apps, and network traffic interception. Protection of personal and corporate devices has become increasingly vital.
The exploitation of vulnerabilities in commonly used software and appliances is yet another point where we should be vigilant. The discovery of high and critical severity vulnerabilities sometimes receives limited research and delayed fixes, potentially paving the way for new, large-scale, and stealthy botnets capable of targeted attacks.
Growth in cyberattacks by state-sponsored actors and hacktivism as a new normal
State-sponsored cyberattack numbers also have the potential to surge in the year ahead, amid increasing geopolitical tensions. These attacks will likely threaten data theft or encryption, IT infrastructure destruction, long-term espionage, and cyber-sabotage.
Another notable trend is hacktivism, which has become more common as part of geopolitical conflicts. Geopolitical tensions indicate a likely increase in hacktivist activity, both destructive and aimed at spreading false information, leading to unnecessary investigations and subsequent alert fatigue of SOC analysts and cybersecurity researchers.
Other advanced threat predictions for 2024 include:
- Supply chain attacks as a service: operators’ bulk-buying access
Supply chain attacks targeting smaller firms to breach major ones: the Okta breaches in 2022-2023 highlight the threat’s scale. Motives of such attacks may range from financial gain to espionage. 2024 might witness new developments in dark web access market activities related to supply chains, enabling more efficient and large-scale attacks.
- Emergence of more groups offering hack-for-hire services
Hack-for-hire groups are on the rise, providing data theft services to clients ranging from private investigators to business rivals. This trend is expected to grow in the coming year.
- Kernel rootkits are hot again
Despite modern security measures like Kernel Mode Code Signing, PatchGuard, HVCI (Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity), kernel-level code execution barriers are being bypassed by APTs and cybercrime groups. Windows kernel attacks are on the rise, enabled by WHCP abuses, and the underground market for EV certificates and stolen code signing certificates is growing. Threat actors are increasingly leveraging BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) in their tactics.
- Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems used for advanced attacks
Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems face escalating cyber threats, exemplified by 2023 breaches of MOVEit and GoAnywhere. This trend is poised to escalate, with cyber adversaries eyeing financial gains and operational disruptions. The intricate MFT architecture, integrated into broader networks, harbors security weaknesses. Organizations should implement robust cybersecurity measures, including Data Loss Prevention and encryption, and foster cybersecurity awareness to fortify MFT systems against evolving threats.
“In 2023, the notable surge in the availability of AI tools didn’t elude the attention of advanced malicious actors engaged in extensive and highly sophisticated campaigns. However, we anticipate that upcoming trends go beyond AI implications, including new methods for conducting supply chain attacks, the emergence of hack-for-hire services, novel exploits for consumer devices, and more. Our goal is to provide defenders with advanced threat intelligence that stays ahead of the latest threat developments, enhancing their capacity to fend off cyberattacks more effectively”, says to Igor Kuznetsov, Director, Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) at Kaspersky.
The APT predictions have been developed thanks to Kaspersky’s threat intelligence services used around the world. Read the full report on Securelist.
