Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Fileless Malware Already Targeting Holiday Suppliers October 31, 2018 It gets earlier and earlier. The first Yuletide-related malware campaign has already been spotted. Theres always an expected and monumental amount of consumer spam and phishing in the run-up to Black Friday and then Christmas itself, but weve found one malware author getting into the Christmas spirit in late October by targeting backdoor-delivering emails at the Yuletide supply chain, specifically Christmas goods suppliers whose preparations for the year-end commercial convulsion are well underway. According to the National Retail Federation, for some retailers the holiday season can represent as much as 30 percent of annual sales, and goods manufacturers and wholesalers in general are keen to take advantage, not to mention seasonal merchandise suppliers. Fileless Malware from Known Author The email being sent for this campaign Figure 1 uses the subject line Christmas Order with a made-up reference number, and proceeds to ask for pricing and delivery terms for items allegedly listed in an attachment, with the admonition that delivery is needed by November 20 th . This last detail is a classic social engineering tactic, intending to give a sense of urgency to the recipient. Opening the apparently .doc attachment, the user is asked to double-click an icon in order to view the contents. In doing so, a standard Windows security warning appears about running unverified software, and, unfortunately for those who ignore the warning, proceeding further detonates a RAR SFX self-extracting archive, which runs a first-level AutoIt Script Loader Module. This in turn is used to decode and load a second-level payload. A step-by-step analysis of the deployment sequence is provided further below. The final executable payload is a variant of the NetwiredRC backdoor. This payload uses the same custom Caesar Cipher and key used in a variant we recognized, as we covered it in one of our blog articles earlier this year , so it is safe to assume that the same culprit is behind this attack wave. Once installed, the backdoor has many capabilities, including but not limited to logging key strokes, stealing cookied login credentials stored in multiple browsers, and stealing email login credentials. Since the entire installation sequence is injected to a target process and is not saved to disk, it can be classified as a fileless malware. Fileless malware is a technique that has been a growing topic in security circles, and according to Cyren detection stats there has been a 350 percent increase in its use since 2016. Even though its a bit of a misnomer and not actually literally fileless, and is overhyped as undetectable, it is part of a general trend in increasing malware evasiveness. Although fileless methods have a lengthy history, its appearing more now because detection methods have been catching up with other techniques, application whitelisting wont stop it, and it makes attribution more difficult. If you need a good overview on fileless malware, we recommend this recorded webinar from a colleague of ours, which looks at the concept applied to ransomware, but the techniques described apply to malware generally, or this blog , which summarizes the concept. Figure 1 Email soliciting proposals Figure 2 Bait document that induces a click Supply Chain Hack Target Isnt Necessarily You The target of the email would appear to be smaller potential suppliers, but keep well in mind that that isnt necessarily the ultimate target. The massive 2014 hack into Home Depot resulting in 56 million stolen credit and debit card details and 53 million stolen email addresses, was credited to inadequate security at a small third-party vendor, as were the more recent hacks into Amazon Web Services and Wendys, as well as last Julys massive car manufacturers data leak . A 2017 study by the Ponemon Institute, found that 56 of large breaches were the result of an initial breach into a third-party vendor, possible because many smaller suppliers are often granted access to their customers corporate data and even network login credentials. Another well-known manufacturing industry example was examined here. How it Works Self-extracting RAR Archive As alluded to above, the loaded software is actually a RAR SFX, which contains several files having random filenames. Viewing the contents, we can see the files along with the SFX description and configuration settings Figure 3 Self-extracting archive with variable settings highlighted Highlighted in the screenshot are the variable settings for the self-extraction process UpdateU7WS52 Pathtemp42057438 Setupjsr.exe cecrmq The Path variable tells the SFX to extract the archive contents into the folder temp42057438 , while the Setup variable auto-executes the file jsr.exe , with the argument cec-rmq . The auto-executed file, jsr.exe , in this case is a copy of the AutoIt stand-alone script interpreter, which loads the file cec-rmq, which is a malicious AutoIt script. To make the AutoIt script difficult to read, cecrmq is filled with a lot of comments, which in this case could be considered as plain garbage. Once the garbage is cleaned up, we can see that the actual code is just around 70 lines. Figure 4 Comparative screenshots, showing script after removal of obfuscating garbage code First Level Script AutoIt Script Loader Module The first level script is a loader module, which is used to decode and load a 2 nd level payload, summarized as follows 1. Upon execution of the AutoIt script, cecrmq , it searches for a file named qch.pdf , which upon further inspection is actually a configuration INI file containing several variables used by the malicious script. The configuration file also includes two 2 pieces of encoded data, which are decoded at run-time. Shown below is a snippet of the cleaned up configuration file. 2. The first piece of encoded data, marked by sData and esData, is decrypted by the script using an arbitrary shellcode embedded in the script. This arbitrary shellcode is an ARC4-based decryption algorithm, loaded by the script using the CallWindowProc API. The cipher key, 869, used in the decryption process is read by the script from the sK variable in the configuration file. 3. The decrypted data, which is another AutoIt script, is updated to replace the string  Settings File Name  to the file name of the configuration file  qch.pdf  before saving it to a randomly named file in the same directory as itself and executing it afterwards with the AutoIt interpreter  jsr.exe  as shown in the code snippet below. AutoIt Script Payload Deletes Itself When Done The decrypted script is responsible for the actual malicious behavior which could be summarized as follows 1. For persistence, it creates an Auto-Start registry entry for jsr.exe and cecrmq, to ensure that its loader module automatically runs even after the system is restarted. 2. Decrypts the second piece of encoded data from the configuration file marked by Data and eData with ARC2 decryption algorithm using the ADVAPI32 APIs. The cipher key, nkk , is fetched from the Keys variable in the configuration file. 3. The script then searches for a target host executable, where the malicious payload will be injected. If Microsoft .NET Framework is installed in the system, the script would choose RegSvcs.exe as its host and will fallback to the default web browser if neither v2.0.50727 or v4.0.30319 is found in the system. Additionally, if the variable eos is set in the configuration file, the script runs a copy of the target host executable in the Windows temporary directory using either RegSvcs.exe or firefox.exe as the file name. 4. Using an arbitrary shellcode embedded in the script, the target host executable is run in suspended mode where the malicious payload executable is then injected and executed, via the CallWindowProcW API. Finally, after performing all needed operations, the script deletes itself to hide its presence in the system.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo New Release is now available of The WordPress GDPR Framework August 9, 2018 Today we released an upgrade to our most recent product capability  The WordPress GDPR Framework . While in past lives I have done much in the WordPress plugin arena  for Data443 this is a run of many firsts.. Setting up the infrastructure, clearing out a backlog of bugs and enhancements, staging our next few sprints for the dev plan and working out the product plan of record. Additionally, much work is done behind the scenes  from a simple thing like updating the headline graphic to being able to push updates via SVN. Outside of the geek speak  why did we do this, and what is the plan? As we know  WordPress is a significant content platform management platform. Fully 100 of our new prospects and customers I have spoken to since we announced have WordPress  as I expected. Now, of course the public marketing site is usually run by a different group, etc. But as I was indicating to a customer prospect earlier today  I sort of have a soft spot in my heart for SMB organizations. Usually they are overwhelmed, underfunded and could use some help.. GDPR, FOI or other deep capability requirements are very difficult to fulfil and manage. So, WordPress is a great way to very quickly organize some capabilities for these organizations  and like I said, very close to 100 reach! So, in this case, what does it do? The WP GDPR Framework is a simple to deploy WordPress standards-based plugin that enables an administrator or site owner  within a few clicks  enable a cookie and privacy policy that is tailored to their needs. More than just a click here for this capability  the plugin enables something very special  the iceberg request  a Data Subject Access Request DSAR. The DSAR is a mandated capability that organizations much offer to any person with potential Privacy Information requests the ability to request for free in most cases where and for what purposes is their personal information being used within that company. In the simplest example  if you were an ecommerce company selling widgets online  a person must be able to request directly from you, and within 30 days get a response about how you are using their information. In this example, the response may contain the following details Dear SirMadam We have reviewed our data storage and have identified 3 locations where your information is resident. Previous Orders May 4, 2018  your address and contact information New Product Mailing List  your email address and how many times you viewed our notices. You have the option to remove or update any of this information indicated above. In this simpler example, our plugin will automate this process from receiving the request to consolidating the search results and then delivering them to the requestor. Depending on the action, our plugin will updateremediate based on the request response. Its a simple functionality, but desparately needed and removesmitigates significant work efforts if an organization has potentially 1000s of requests andor much data to manage. Quickly this becomes overwhelming, costly to manage  and then potentially material when considering fines and reputation damage. So, today we have capability for the majority of WordPress requirements on the public facing side. Going forward we expect to extend this into the ClassiDocs land  allowing the administrator to hook into their on premise and cloud repositories to facilitate DSARs.. While it would be unreasonable to expect every single WordPress installation to utilize ClassiDocs to extend to the enterprise  today we are the only ones to provide this capability Try it for Free Instant Data Classification Cyren URL Category Chacker Prev Jason Skinner, an expert on cloud, collaboration and digital transformation, joins Resilient as an Advisor Release 1.0.14 is now available of The WordPress GDPR Framework Next Company Partners Resources Investor Relations Products Freeware Demo Solutions Contact Us Privacy Management Service by Data443
