Cyber Threats

A new Linux malware has been discovered by cybersecurity firm Volexity, and the new strain has been dubbed DISGOMOJI. The Pakistan-based threat actor, aka "UTA0137," has been identified as a spy campaign with a primary focus on Indian government agencies. Similar to other common forms of backdoors and botnets involved in various types of cyber attacks, the DISGOMOJI malware can use commands to capture screenshots, search for files to steal, spread additional payloads, and transfer files. DISGOMOJI uses Discord (a messaging service) for command and control (C2) and emojis for C2 communication. The malware targets Linux operating systems.

The DISCOMOJI Malware:

• The DISGOMOJI malware opens a specific channel on a Discord server, and every new channel corresponds to a new victim, meaning the attacker can communicate with the victims one at a time.

• This particular malware uses Emoji, a type of relay protocol, to connect to an attacker-controlled Discord server. Attackers provide unique emojis as instructions, and the malware uses the emojis as feedback to the subsequent command status.

• For example, the "camera with flash" emoji is used to screenshot and steal the victim's device, the "fox" emoji cracks all Firefox profiles, and the "skull" emoji kills the malware process.

• This C2 communication is done using emojis to ensure messaging between infected contacts, and if the malicious server is blocked, it is almost impossible for Discord to shut down the malware, as it can always change the Discord account details it is using.

• Apart from the emoji-based C2, the malware also has network probing, tunneling, data exfiltration and other capabilities that are necessary for the UTA0137 threat actors to achieve their espionage goals.

Specific emojis used for different commands by UTA0137:

• Camera with flash (📸): Captures an image of the target device's screen as instructed by the victim.

• Backhand index downwards (👇): Extracts files from the target device and sends them to the command channel in the form of attachments.

• Backhand index pointing right (👉): This process involves sending files found on the victim's device to another web-hosted file storage service known as Oshi, or oshi[.]at.

• Backhand index pointing left (👈): This process involves sending files from the victim's device to transfer[.]sh, an online service for sharing files over the internet.

• Fire (🔥): TXT,*doc,*XLS,*PDF,*PPT,*RTF,*Log,*CFG,*DB,*DB,*MDB,*SQL,*JSON,*XML,*XML,*XML,*XML,*XML,*XML,*XML Search and send all files with specific extensions on victim devices, such as PHP,*ASP,*PL,*SH,*PY,*INO,*CPP,*Java, etc.,

• FOX (ᦊ): Works by compressing all Firefo x-related profiles in the affected device.

• Skull (💀): Use "OS. Exit () 'for the Windows malware process.

• Man Running (🏃♂️): Run the command on the victim's device. This command receives an argument and is the command to execute.

• Refers to index (👆): Upload files to the victim's terminal. The file to be uploaded is attached with this emoticon.

Analysis:

Analysis was conducted on the C981AA1F05ADF030BACFFC0E279CF93CF877F773EE296363CF002, one of the indicators of the infringed SHA-256 hash file.

It turns out that most vendors mark this file as a troyal horse in Virustotal, and the graph explains the contact domain and the malicious nature of the IP.

Graph display of the above analysis

Discord & C2 Communication for UTA0137:

• Stealth: Discord is a famous messaging platform used for various purposes, so it is not doubtful to send messages and files on the server. With such stealth, UTA0137 can maintain a longer dormant state before starting an attack.

• The UTA0137 connected to the customization Discord can create a specific channel for a clear victim on the server. With such a framework, the attacker can communicate individually with each victim and perform more accurate and efficient processing.

• Emoj i-based protocols: In C2 communication, emoticons really complicate the attempts of Discord trying to hinder malware operation. If a malicious server is banned, you can easily restore malware, especially by using the Discord authentication information of the C2 server.

• Sustainability: As described above, malware exists permanently to hack the system and has the ability to withstand system restarting, so the virus has been viruses without being detected by the owner of the hacked system. You can continue to operate.

• Advanced functions: DisGomoji's other functions include network maps using NMAP scanners, network tonning using chisel and ligolo, and data outflow using file sharing services. These features support the UTA0137 spy activity.

• Social engineering: Viruses and Troy wood horses can display po p-up windows and prompt messages. For example, you can trick users to enter your password, such as Firefox or fake updates for similar applications.

• Acquisition of dynamic authentication information: Malware does not write the hardcoded value of the authentication information to connect to the Discord server. As a result, analysts cannot easily identify the position of the C2 server, which is inconvenient.

• Fake information and error messages: No real information or errors are displayed because they do not want to easily decipher malicious movements.

Recommendations to mitigate the risk of UTA0137:

• Software and firmware regular updates: It is indispensable to update various devices, especially all router application software and firmware to prevent hackers from misusing the discovered and disclosed flaws. This includes bug corrections such as the ASUS router CVE-2024-3080 and CVE-2024-3912.

• Introducing mult i-factor authentication: Since there is statistics showing the frequency of user accounts, it is important to introduce mult i-factor authentication to enhance the security of the account.

• Introduction of advanced malware protection: DISGOMOJI It provides a strong guard to recognize and prevent the execution of malware and similar threats.

• Network separation enhancement: The threat of attacks is minimized by isolation of important systems and data from other networks.

• Scan the network every hour to identify and deal with network activity surveillance security and use tools such as NMAP, Chisel, and Ligolo.

• Utilization of threat intelligence: By utilizing advanced threat intelligence, you can gain knowledge of past threats and vulnerabilities and take action based on information.

• In order to prevent the misuse of secure communication channel attacks and the rule of Discord as an attack vector, it reduces the problem of leakage of developers' authentication information and how to interact with Discord due to loss of communication.

• Implement access and control: Use more strict access and control means to make sure that only the appropriate person can access appropriate systems and information.

• Conducting regular security audits It is important to conduct regular security audits to check for weaknesses present in the network and systems.

• Implementing an incident response plan Conduct a risk assessment and based on its design, establish an efficient incident response kit that helps in early detection, isolation and management of security breaches.

• Educate users: Provide re-education on cybersecurity hygiene, opportunities to increase university affinity, threats such as phishing and social engineering.

Conclusion:

Volexity has discovered a new threat actor named UTA0137 from Pakistan who was using DISGOMOJI malware and attacking Indian government agencies using command line embedded emojis through the Discord app. This malware aims to steal data from government agencies. UTA0137 was continuously improved over time to communicate with the victims permanently. It emphasizes the need for strong protection against viruses and hacker attacks, using secure passwords and unique codes every time, updating software frequently, and having high-level anti-malware tools. Organizations can minimize advanced threats like DISGOMOJI and protect sensitive data by improving network segmentation, continuous monitoring of activities, and user awareness.

Conclusion

A famous word is that hal f-hearted knowledge is always dangerous, but there is something that "if you have too much knowledge, it will lead to ruin." Recently, a very infamous spyware and malware called Wyrmspy and Dragon Egg have been invented by Chinese hacker group APT41. APT41 is a nationall y-approved crandstein active group based in the People's Republic of China and has been active since 2012. In contrast to many countries and governments, APTs are not only in danger for secret activities, but also for various private organizations and companies for financial benefits. We have a record of footprints that are dangerous. The APT41 group is aiming for Android devices through the "WYRMSPY" and "DRAGON EGG" spyware, which are pretty regular applications. In addition, a detailed analysis report was shared by Lookout Threat Researchers, which actively monitor and track both spyware and malware.

First, this malware imitates a real source android application and displays some kind of notification. When the user's machine is properly installed, declares multiple devices permission to enable data filtation.

Wyrmspy complies with log files, photos, devices, SMS (read and write), and audio recording. It also authenticates that there is no malware activity detected on Google Play even after multiple security levels are executed. These malicious intent are designed to obtain the root access right of the device and monitor the specified commands received from the C2 server.

Similarly, Dragon Egg can collect data files, contacts, location information, and audio records, and also access the camera photos if you succeed in trading the device. Dragon eggs receive a payload called "Smallmload. jar" from APK (Android Packet Kit).

Introduction

Wyrmspy initially disguised as a default operating system application, and Dragon Egg simulates the thir d-party keyboard/ messaging application.

Darknet and Cryptocurrency

APT41 is a stealth group based in China that has been said to have been active since mid-2006. Rumors have also suggested that APT41 is part of the 2nd Bureau of the 3rd Department of the General Staff Department (GSD) of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). APTs are also known to have reasonably looted hundreds of terabytes of data from at least 141 organizations between 2006 and 2013. APTs usually start by sending spear-phishing emails to targeted victims. Such emails contain official templates, with wording that makes them appear to be from a genuine, legitimate source, and a malicious attachment. Once the victim opens the attachment, a backdoor cedes control of the target machine to the APT group's machine. Once compromised, the attackers visit and revisit the victim's machine. APT groups remain dormant for long periods of time, from months to years.

Security patch updates are required at least once a week.

Key Challenges:

1. Remove unnecessary junk files
2. Cache files of frequently used applications should be deleted.
3. Install only the applications you need from Google play store.

Challenges Associated with Cryptocurrency Use:

Download only the APK files you need and that are coming from trusted resources.

Preventing Misuse of Technologies:

It is recommended to run files or URLs on VirusTotal. com before giving them permission on your device.

Monitoring the Darknet:

Install a good antivirus software.

Check the source of email attachments before opening them.

Do not collect or add randomly found devices to your system.

Use of Cryptocurrency on the Darknet

In addition, users should keep track of their device activity. It is more important to look at data protection on that device rather than simply using it for entertainment purposes.

AI's Role in De-Anonymizing the Darknet and Monitoring Challenges:

The Network Crack Program Hacker Group (NCPH) has grown as the malicious APT41 group, and while it previously played the role of grey hat hackers, the group has become greedy to further strengthen its money laundering by hacking networks, devices, and more. The group has conducted a supply chain of attacks to gain unauthorized access to networks around the world, targeting hundreds of companies, including a wide range of industries such as social media, telecommunications, government, defense, education, and manufacturing. Last but not least, many malicious fraud groups will continue to be formed and carried out. To protect themselves from such threats and attacks, individuals and organizations need to protect themselves as well as practice basic security levels.

G20 Conference on Crime and Security in the Era of NFTs, AI, and the Metaverse

Explore the challenges of cybersecurity, darknet, cryptocurrency, and AI integration discussed at the G20 Conference on Crime and Security.

July 20, 2023

The discussion focused on cybersecurity measures, especially addressing cybercrime in the context of emerging technologies such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Metaverse. Session 5 of the conference focused on the interconnectedness of the darknet and cryptocurrencies and the challenges it poses to law enforcement and regulators. Understanding AI is necessary for businesses. AI models are challenging, but we look forward to trustworthy AI.

The darknet refers to the hidden part of the internet where illegal activities have surged in recent years. It was initially developed to provide anonymity, privacy, and protection to certain individuals, such as journalists, activists, and whistleblowers. However, it has now become a playground for criminal activities. Cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, have been widely adopted on the darknet due to their anonymity, enabling anti-money laundering and illegal transactions.

The panel also addressed the questions from the audience

• The unity of the darknet and cryptocurrencies, the need for regulation to prevent crimes using the darknet, and the importance of balancing privacy and security.
• The integrated relationship dark net and cryptocurrency have developed independently with different motives and purposes. It is extremely important to understand the integrated relationship between the two and how criminals abuse this relationship.
• Effective regulations are needed to prevent crimes that are promoted through the dark nets and cryptocurrency while balancing regulations and security and security.

Conclusion

Privacy and Security: Privacy is a basic right, and any measures to enhance security must not infringe personal privacy. In order to find this subtle balance, a mult i-stakeholder approach, including tech companies and regulatory authorities, is required.

There are several issues for the use of cryptocurrency on the dark net. The risk related to cryptocurrency crimes using the dark net is a serious concern. Furthermore, the no n-centralized and borderless nature of cryptocurrency has caused regulatory issues. To reduce these issues, you need an innovative approach using new technology.

Discussion emphasized that people who try to use beautiful technologies developed for different purposes for crime.

As described, the dark net is an unreasonable part of the Internet that needs to use a special browser to access. Initially, it was designed by the US government for safe communication, but its purpose has changed significantly with the times. The evolution of the dark net has brought a major challenge to the enforcement agency that strives to monitor its activities.

Introduction

Approximately 95 % of the activities conducted on the dark net are related to criminal acts. According to the estimation, more than 50%of the world's cyber criminal revenue has been brought from the dark net. This means that about half of all cyber crimes are promoted through the dark net.

1. Potential of AI in Darknet Deanonymization

During the discussion, it was highlighted how AI can be used to deanonymize the darknet. AI's pattern recognition capabilities can help identify and analyze patterns of behavior within the darknet, allowing law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to gain insight into darknet operations. However, there are limitations to what AI can achieve in this context. While AI cannot break encryption or directly associate patterns with specific users, it can help identify illegal marketplaces and facilitate their crackdown. The dynamic nature of the darknet, with new marketplaces quickly emerging, further complicates surveillance efforts.

Best Practices to Stay Safe

1. 2. Challenges of Darknet Monitoring
2. Darknet monitoring poses various challenges due to its huge data volume, anonymous and encrypted nature, dynamically evolving landscape, and need for specialized access. These challenges make it difficult for law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to effectively track and prevent illegal activities.
3. 3. Possibilities for progress
4. Several possibilities were discussed to address the challenges. Ethical considerations are needed to balance privacy and security. Cross-border cooperation, including the development of relevant laws and policies, can strengthen efforts to combat darknet-related crimes. In addition, education and awareness-raising initiatives promoted jointly by law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and academia can play an important role in countering darknet activities.
5. How can law enforcement and regulators use AI to detect and prevent crimes related to the darknet and cryptocurrencies? The panel discussion included the following points: "Law enforcement officials should be able to deal with AI and technology, and such upskilling programs are necessary.
6. How should lawyers and justice understand and regulate this problem? In the panel discussion, the answer was that AI should be applied only with the results. And the law must clarify what is tolerated and what is allowed.

Conclusion:

AI and human intentions match? Is it possible? Can you make ethical AI instead of ethically using AI? The panel discussion answered that it was necessary to understand how to act ethically. AI can beat any person. We have to learn AI. Step 1 is to focus on ethical actions. And step 2 is to bring ethical aspects to software and technology. It is a challenge to match AI and human intentions and create ethical AI. Both humans and in the development of AI technology should focus on ethical actions.

The G20 Conference on Crime and Security shows the relationship between the dark nets and the cryptocurrency, and the issues that provide cyber security. Discussion emphasized the need for effective regulations, privacy and security balance, AI integration, and the need for coordination across borders to address the increase in cyber crimes related to dark net and cryptocurrency. In order to work on these issues, it is necessary to combine the government, law enforcement agencies, technology companies, and individuals who are trying to build a more secure digital environment. Apple prohibits six apps from India App Store Apple has claimed excessive interest in India and banned fraudulent apps that harass users. See how these apps were operated and why Apple took such measures.

Introduction

July 14, 2023

Recent Cases of Deepfakes- ‍

According to shocking reports, India's App Store has multiple fraudulent apps that require excessive interest rates and extend or harass users to forcibly pay. Apple has banned and deleted these apps from the App Store, but may still be installed on your iPhone. If you download these apps, be sure to delete them. See the names of these apps and fraud.

Apple has taken measures to delete a specific app from the Indian App Store. These apps have performed no n-ethical acts, such as charging financial institutions, demanding expensive fees, and threatening borrower. The following are the titles of these apps and Apple's comments on the suspension.

Deepfake Applications

• In response to user concerns, Apple has deleted six loan apps from the Indian App Store. The loan application includes White Kash, Pocket Kash, Golden Kash, OK Rupee, etc.
• According to multiple user reviews, certain apps ask for unwarranted access to users' contact lists and media. These apps also charge exorbitant fees that are not necessary. Moreover, unethical practices such as high interest rates and "processing fees" that amount to half the loan amount have been observed.
• Some users of loan apps have reported being harassed or threatened for not paying back their loans on time. In some cases, the app would threaten users' contacts if they did not complete their payments on time. One user said that the app company created fake photos of her and threatened to send them to her contacts.
• According to Apple, these loan apps were removed from the App Store for violating the norms and standards of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. The apps were found to have falsely claimed to be connected to financial institutions.
• Apple said, "The App Store and App Review Guidelines are meant to provide the safest experience for users. We do not tolerate fraudulent activity on the App Store and have strict rules for apps and developers who try to game the system.
• In 2022, Apple blocked nearly $2 billion in fraudulent sales on the App Store. Additionally, it rejected nearly 1. 7 million software submissions that did not meet Apple's quality and safety standards and canceled 428, 000 developer accounts for suspected fraudulent activity.
• Scammers also used nefarious tactics to pressure borrowers into paying. According to reports, the scammers behind the apps accessed users' contact lists and images. They would doctor the images and threaten individuals by sharing fake nude photos with their entire contact list.
• TechCrunch obtained a user review from one of these apps. "I got into debt in a desperate situation, and one day before the repayment date, I received several messages on my phone with my photo and contact information.

Deepfake examples

Sandhya, a journalist at The Print Ramesh recently tweeted screenshots of direct messages she received, with the victim's friends also sharing similar stories in their messages.

After TechCrunch reached out to Apple, they confirmed that the app has been removed from the App Store for violating the Apple Developer Program License Agreement and Guidelines.

• Recently, some users have complained that quick loan applications such as White Kash, Pocket Kash, and Golden Kash have appeared on the top finance application charts in recent days. These apps require unauthorized and invaded access to user contact lists and media. Hundreds of user evaluations, these apps have charged a highly expensive and wasteful fee. They used vicious tricks, such as demanding a "processing fee", which is equivalent to half of the loan, and claiming high interest rates. The users were also harassed or threatened to return. If the payment was not made by the date, the app threatened to notify the user's contact. According to a user, the app provider threatened to create a fake nude image and send it to the contact.

• Deepfake is always growing. The year ago, the deep fake film was easy to see because the movement was clumsy and the simulated people did not seem to be blinking. However, the latest generation of fake images has evolved and adapted. Currently, there are about 15, 000 deep fake videos available online. Some just have fun, while others try to move their opinions. However, now that it takes only one or two days to create a new DeepFake, the number may increase rapidly.
• With the advancement of technology, it is certain that it will be difficult to identify whether the content is genuine or fake. As a result, experts feel that it is not necessary to be responsible for discovering deep fake things that are left unchecked. "Creating invisible watermarks and the responsibilities of the source of the image should be in developers, toolmakers and technical companies," they say. Some emerging companies are also working on an approach to detecting deep fake.

To celebrate Valentine's Day, the Belvedere Museum in Austria decided to sell Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" as an NFT. However, it seems that making one NFT wasn't enough, so the museum decided to split the digital copy of the work into 10, 000 tiles. "The Kiss" is a very large piece, measuring 180cm x 180cm on each side, but NFT buyers will receive an NFT measuring 0. 7 inches (18mm x 18mm) per tile, or about the size of a 1 yen coin. Belvedere somehow estimates that the NFTs will sell for 1, 850 euros each (about $2, 100). If their dreams come true, they could make 18. 5 million euros if they sell all 10, 000 NFTs.

The NFT sale website explains six steps to get NFT. Including the standard steps of connecting a wallet and participating in the Allowlist, it is said that it is necessary to send form mail to loved ones, saying, "Let's dedicate to NFT loved ones."

Another NFT project "Jacked APE CLUB", which features a CG ape, was temporarily confusing, shaking many people's trust in the project. A few days ago, the first sale of the project ended with a little squeal rather than loud sound. Team members Orange, Mitchell, and Jango were suddenly kicked out of the project and were obstructed by the remaining teams. The founding members of the team said that these three work was over, and without any more payments, they wouldn't continue to work for the project (how unreasonable!) I said. However, the remaining team members seemed to have brought 178Eth (over $ 500, 000), that is, 39 % of the project funds.

The next day, the project announced that control was back in the hands of Orange, Mitchell, Django, and one other team member, and that the founders were leaving the project. The remaining team also announced that they were returning 105 ETH to the project. They made no mention of the remaining 73 ETH (about $220, 000) that was allegedly taken by the founders.

What Web3 Might Mean for Companies

It seems people were lured in by Coinbase's Super Bowl ad (which was just a QR code bouncing around the screen like a DVD screensaver) and took down the Coinbase website. Super Bowl-level traffic is hard to handle, but you'd think a company with billions in revenue could do something about it. Travis Kimmel pointed out on Twitter that Coinbase's error message says "under planned maintenance": I love that "Planned Maintenance" is the same as the default 404 page. "Don't worry, everything is under control - we intentionally took the site offline." Coinbase then tried to lighten the mood by announcing that anyone who downloads the app will receive $15 in Bitcoin.

This Super Bowl marked the first time crypto advertising has appeared. In addition to the Coinbase spot, Bud Light launched a beer-related NFT collection, and Larry David appeared in an ad for the FTX exchange. After drinking a lot of beer at the Super Bowl, what better time to make some well-researched financial decisions from your phone?

British tax authorities have seized three NFTs in an attempt to evade £1. 4 million ($1. 9 million) in taxes. Authorities say the seizure is a "warning to anyone who thinks they can use crypto assets to hide money," but it may come as a surprise to some of the crypto subreddit's ringleaders.

thomasg. eth is the founder of Arrow, a DAO working to create an "open source VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft and air taxi protocol." In a lengthy Twitter thread, he writes about a duo of scammers: one posing as a 3D artist from Ubisoft, and one posing as a team member of an existing metaverse project called SpaceFalcon. After a few weeks of back and forth, in which the supposed 3D artist provided thomasg. eth with high-quality renders and the supposed metaverse project team member invited thomasg. eth to tour the facility of another VTOL project, one of them invited thomasg. eth to test an NFT staking app. thomasg. eth was fortunate to be cautious about interacting with unfamiliar NFTs from its main wallet, but at this point the scammers started to act a bit more cautious. When thomasg. eth inspected the smart contract, they noticed that it allowed the scammers to send any amount of aWETH (wETH on the Aave protocol) tokens from their wallet.

While many web3 scammers are fairly primitive, this one seemed to be sophisticated and highly targeted. The pair impersonated existing web3 projects and even purchased similar domains. They appear to have hired a 3D artist to create renderings of one of the scammers to incorporate into the target's web3 project. When thomasg. eth looked up the scammers' addresses, they found that they were operating with at least 100ETH funds (currently worth about $300, 000). thomasg. eth currently holds over $100 million in a wallet of the same name, so it's not hard to see why the scammers chose him as a target worth the extra effort.

Early Days Are Here Again

The "RUNESCAPE-LIKE" MMO game known as Titanreach has a history of twists and turns, and it could not reach the Kickstarter target amount in the 2020 crowdfunding project, but it could not reach the target amount of Kickstarter. A sufficient community was built behind the crowdfunding to raise development funds. Developers earned more than $ 200, 000 with this model, but were able to continue the project only until around August 2021, when funds were set. But one month later, UNRAVEL, the lead developer of the project, reported that anonymous investors have invested in the whole game. There is no binding. It's a lie, but it's true. " Development has been resumed.

On February 11, UNRAVEL announced that his studio would be "closed forever." Titan Reach enters rest. The reason is private, "he entered a long message about the cipher announced before he had for the game and the NFT plan, and of course he was furious at the community that supported the game. Ta.

YouTuber's KiraTV has been familiar with the project, developers, and investors, and has revealed that an anonymous angel investor is the cryptocurrency entrepreneur behind youN Finance. Kira argued that UNRAVEL has entered the $ 150, 000 funds from investors into $ TIME, a token related to the unfortunate Wonderland project. Investors who lost their funds overnight have expanded their funding for the project. Later, it was found that UNRAVEL was investing in high risk cryptocurrency using the company's money besides a case of $ 150, 000, and that he had purchased a new car with investors' money. 。
