Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Double Deceit Bad Things Come in Pairs May 23, 2018 A Chinese proverb may state, good things come in pairs, but this was not the case in 2017. In 2017, we discovered an email threat that was carrying not one, but two different malicious attachments as bait a PDF file and a Microsoft Template file OpenXMLDOTX. These were meant to target a previously reported Microsoft Office vulnerability in order to deliver the remote access trojan RAT known as NetWiredRC. What was NetWiredRC? According to MalwareBytes , Backdoor.NetWiredRC was the detection name for a large group of trojans , which were all targeting Windows systems. Backdoor.NetWiredRC is a flexible, versatile and dangerous threat which has also been utilized by state-sponsored groups such as APT33. It is known for stealing information, providing remote access, and even downloading additional malware. How did NetWiredRC Impact Users? Since Backdoor.NetWiredRC spreads primarily through malicious phishing campaigns, we believe the use of two attachments was intended to make the email seem more legitimate to recipients. Typically, hackers only send one malicious attachmentby sending two, the hackers increase the chances that the target will open at least one of them. In addition, the techniques applied within the attachments add a few layers of complexity in both the delivery of the exploit and the final payload, and are intended to help evade detection. How NetWiredRC Utilized the Fake Business Email The email being sent is in the guise of a business transaction purporting to be a request for quote RFQ, a sample of which is shown below. From a technical perspective, our analysis shows that neither attachment contains the actual exploit. Instead, the threat abuses feature in both the attached PDF and OpenXML documents to cause the automatic download and launch of the CVE-2017-11882 exploit, known as the Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability, for which Microsoft issued a patch in November 2017. This was one of the most well-known Microsoft Office virusesvulnerabilities of the year 2017, and caused a significant amount of damage to users. Cyren blocks this threat in its various elements as DOCXCVE-2017-11882.D.gen!Camelot, DOCXCVE-2017-11882.F.gen!Camelot, and W32NetWiredRC.CW. Figure 1. Email Sample containing two 2 bait attachments How the Malware PDF Works In examining the PDFs file structure , we find an embedded file named jon001.dotx, which appears to be a ZIP archive, but is actually a Word document using the Microsoft OpenXML format detected by Cyren as DOCXCVE-2017-11882.F.gen!Camelot. The embedded DOTX file jon001.dotx is the same as the attached DOTX specification.dotx, as shown below in the hash comparison between the two files. Figure 2.0. Shows the embedded and attached file hashes Figure 2.1. The PDF contains an embedded file called jon001.dotx which downloads and launches the DOCXCVE-2017-11882 exploit. The embedded document is set as an open action object, so it will also be loaded once the PDF is opened. Figure 2.2. PDF Stream showing the OpenAction object Avoiding Auto-Loading on Embedded Files When the intended victim tries to open the PDF file, he is also prompted to open the embedded file. It is important to note, however, that if the user has configured Adobe Reader to Always Allow the opening of similar file types, then this particular embedded object will automatically be loaded without prompting the user. Cyren recommends that to prevent the automatic loading of embedded files that may contain harmful content, computer users never set Adobe Reader to a default setting of Always Allow. Figure 3.0. Adobe Reader prompts users about opening the embedded document. Initially, the embedded document jon001.dotx does not appear to contain any exploits, but upon closer inspection into the document element worddocument.xml, we find the automatic loading of remote data via the linked OLEObject element. Figure 4.0. Linked OLEObject Following the reference ID _id_1437 for this OLEObject in relsdocument.xml.rels, reveals the URL from which the remote data will be downloaded. Figure 4.1. Remote data URL Understanding the Exploit Document The remote data is found in an RTF document called jon001.doc detected by Cyren as CVE-2017-11882.D.gen!Camelot. Similar to CVE-2017-0199, the CVE-2017-11882 RTF exploit takes advantage of the objupdate keyword to be able to trigger the malicious payload without user interaction. Figure 5.0. Preview of the RTF structure Unlike previous variants of malicious documents exploiting CVE-2017-11882 which usually trigger the exploit thru a URL moniker in a Microsoft Equation stream in the OLE object, this variant triggers the exploit using a shellcode found in an Ole10Native stream in the OLE object from the RTF document. Viewing the document in Microsoft Word would show the OleObject as an embedded Equation Object. Figure 6.0. Embedded Equation Object Figure 7.0. Shellcode found in the Ole10Native Stream. We first confirmed that the exploit was still taking advantage of the flaw in Equation Editor, and then used the Microsoft Global Flags Editor Gflags debugger utility to break on EQNEDT32.exe once the exploit is triggered. Figure 8.0. Global Flags Image File Debugger Configuration Based on an address range and data contained in a Palo Altos report on the CVE-2017-11882 exploit, we used the same information to debug the shellcode to confirm that the exploit attempts to download and execute a file from hxxpasurahomepg.rutwojon001.exe which is saved to disk using the filepath, APPDATAwindows.exe. Figure 9.0. CVE-2017-11882 Shellcode Debugging Backdoor Payload Unfortunately, the download URL was inaccessible at the time of our analysis, so we were not able to obtain the intended executable payload. However, we were able to download another payload using the same filename jon001.exe from a different directory at the same site hxxpasurahomepg.ruonejon001.exe. Cyren detects the jon001.exe file as a backdoor trojan named W32NetWiredRC.CW. A quick analysis of the jon001.exe downloaded executable shows that it is compiled in Visual Basic and is decompressed at runtime and injected into a suspended process of itself. By dumping the decompressed format of the payload into a file, we were able to identify it as a variant of a RAT known as NetWiredRC. The strings used in this backdoor are encrypted with two different encryption algorithms. Decryption 1 The first set of encrypted strings are encrypted with a custom Caesar Cipher using the following key _BqwHaF8TkKDMfOzQASx4VuXdZibUIeylJWhj0m5o2ErLt6vGRN9sY1n3Ppc7g and an offset modifier of 6. Figure 11.0.

Figure 11.1. Decrypted Keylogging Strings. Decryption 2 The second set of encrypted strings are decoded with RC4 using the following cipher key 3F738FEA334633468BA981AFE2C1A8E8 Using another IDA Python script to decrypt the second set of strings reveals the backdoors Command  Control CC configuration.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, were 1,579,529, compared to 1,065,619 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 48. The increase in general and administrative expense primarily consisted of management costs, costs to integrate assets we acquired and to expand sales, product enhancements, audit and review fees, filing fees, professional fees, and other expenses related to SEC reporting, including the re-classification of sales-related management expenses, in connection with the projected growth of our business. Additionally, we continue to incur specific one-time costs in relation to our planned Nasdaq Capital Markets uplist, additional financing activities and related functions, and an increase in other professional service fees. The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was 1,582,720, compared to a loss of 974,124 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 it was mainly derived from an operating loss of 786,663, and interest expense of 796,057. The net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was mainly derived from an operating income of 195,985, interest expense of 1,101,910 and loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of 68,199. Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Total revenues were 2,279,677 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 3,095,279 of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to increased pull-through of deals in Q4 of 2021  both by the Company and our customers who took advantage of prepaid multi-year discounts and also took advantage of multi-year commitments to our SaaS products and other software product offerings. Total deferred revenues were 2,652,382 as of September 30, 2022, compared with 1,608,596 of deferred revenues as of December 31, 2021  representing an increase of 65. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 4,669,311, compared to 3,810,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 22. The increase in general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of management costs, costs to integrate assets we acquired and to expand sales, product enhancements, audit and review fees, filing fees, professional fees, and other expenses related to SEC reporting, including the reclassification of sales-related management expenses, in connection with the projected growth of our business. Additionally, we continue to incur specific one-time costs in relation to our planned uplist to the Nasdaq Capital Markets, additional financing activities, and related functions. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 5,862,251 compared to a loss of 4,695,776 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. It was mainly derived from an operating loss of 2,971,242, and interest expense of 2,833,126. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was mainly derived from a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of 431,853 and interest expense of 2,678,198 associated with convertible notes payable and convertible preferred stock, and gross margins of 1,919,028 and 2,687,175, offset in part by general and administrative, and sales and marketing expenses incurred.

### Practical Data Security and Protection Guidance

#### **1. Security Best Practices**
- **Use Strong, Unique Passwords**: Always use complex passwords (at least 12 characters) and avoid reusing passwords across multiple accounts. Consider using a password manager to securely store and generate passwords.
- **Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)**: Activate MFA wherever possible, especially for critical accounts like email, cloud storage, and banking services.
- **Regularly Update Software**: Keep your operating systems, applications, and devices updated to the latest versions to patch security vulnerabilities.
- **Backup Your Data**: Implement regular, automated backups of important data to an external drive or cloud storage service. Use the "3-2-1" rule: three copies, two different media, and one offsite copy.

#### **2. Data Protection Recommendations**
- **Encrypt Sensitive Data**: Use encryption for sensitive data, both at rest (stored) and in transit (being sent over a network). Tools like BitLocker (for Windows) or FileVault (for macOS) can encrypt your hard drive.
- **Secure Cloud Storage**: When using cloud services, ensure data is encrypted before uploading. Use reputable providers that offer robust security features.
- **Limit Data Access**: Only grant access to sensitive data to those who absolutely need it. Use role-based access controls to minimize exposure.

#### **3. Safe Usage Guidelines**
- **Spot Phishing Attempts**: Be cautious of unsolicited emails, messages, or calls asking for personal or financial information. Verify the sender’s identity before responding or clicking on links.
- **Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Sensitive Tasks**: Refrain from accessing sensitive accounts or transferring confidential data over public Wi-Fi networks. Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) if you must connect to public Wi-Fi.
- **Download Carefully**: Only download software or files from trusted sources. Avoid peer-to-peer networks and unverified websites.

#### **4. Common Security Risks and Prevention**
- **Ransomware**: Regularly back up your data and ensure backups are stored offline or in a secure cloud service. Avoid opening suspicious email attachments or links that could trigger ransomware.
- **Insider Threats**: Monitor user activity and implement access controls to prevent unauthorized changes or deletions of data.
- **Malware**: Install and regularly update antivirus/antimalware software. Scan files and emails before opening them.
- **Physical Theft**: Secure devices and storage media. Use a cable lock for laptops and store backups in a safe location.

#### **5. Privacy Protection Measures**
- **Data Minimization**: Collect and store only the data you need. Avoid keeping unnecessary sensitive information.
- **Dispose of Data Safely**: When disposing of devices or media, use secure wiping methods (e.g., DoD wipe) or physical destruction.
- **Anonymize Data**: Consider anonymizing or pseudonymizing data where possible to protect individual identities.

#### **6. When to Seek Additional Security Support**
- **After a Data Breach**: If you suspect or confirm a breach, contact a cybersecurity professional immediately to assess and mitigate damage.
- **Handling Sensitive Data**: If you’re working with highly sensitive data (e.g., financial records, personal identifiable information), consult with a security expert to ensure proper protection measures are in place.
- **Complex Systems**: If you’re managing complex systems or large-scale data storage, engage with a security analyst to review your setup and identify vulnerabilities.
- **Compliance Requirements**: If your organization must comply with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA, seek guidance from a compliance specialist to ensure you’re meeting legal obligations.

By following these practical steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches and protect your sensitive information. Stay proactive and remain informed about emerging threats to maintain a strong security posture.
