Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Was DSGVO-Compliance für Sie bedeutet August 3, 2018 Am 25. Mai 2018 trat die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung DSGVO der Europäischen Union in Kraft. Einer der Zwecke dieser neuen Verordnung besteht darin, personenbezogene Daten von EU-Bürgern besser zu schützen. Falls Sie in den letzten zwei Jahren in der IT-Abteilung eines Unternehmens in der EU gearbeitet haben, werden Ihnen diese fünf Buchstaben bestimmt untergekommen sein. Wir bei Cyren wissen mehr als die meisten anderen um diese Probleme. Wir betreiben seit vielen Jahren Cloudsicherheits-Datenzentren in der EU. Wir erkennen aber immer mehr, dass es signifikante Unterschiede darin gibt, wie Anbieter die DSGVO implementieren  ein Thema, mit dem Sie sich eingehender befassen sollten. Die DSGVO macht die Beziehungen zwischen SaaS-Anbietern und Kunden komplizierter Der Schutz personenbezogener Daten hat für verschiedene Personen und Organisationen unterschiedliche Bedeutung. Für DSGVO-Zwecke bedeuten personenbezogene Daten alle Informationen, die sich auf eine identifizierte oder identifizierbare Person beziehen und mit denen diese direkt oder indirekt identifiziert werden kann. Neben offensichtlichen Daten wie einer E-Mail-Adresse kann dies u. a. Ortsdaten oder auch Online-Kennungen umfassen. Für den Schutz dieser Daten sind Datenverantwortliche für die Zwecke dieser Abhandlung in der Regel Organisationen, die im Besitz von Daten in Bezug auf ihre Mitarbeiter sind und Datenauftragsverarbeiter in der Regel die Anbieter oder Serviceprovider, die die Daten für die Datenverantwortlichen verarbeiten zuständig. Die DSGVO erfordert, dass Datenauftragsverarbeiter Daten nur in Übereinstimmung mit den Anweisungen und der Erlaubnis des Verantwortlichen verarbeiten. Diese neue Verordnung stellt in der Tat komplizierte Herausforderungen sowohl für Datenverantwortliche als auch Auftragsverarbeiter dar. Wo werden Ihre Daten nach dem 25. Mai aufbewahrt? Hier der kritische Punkt Die DSGVO schreibt NICHT vor, dass personenbezogene Daten in der EU aufbewahrt werden. Sie verlangt von Auftragsverarbeitern vielmehr, den Verantwortlichen darüber zu informieren, wo die Daten verarbeitet werden, und die Zustimmung des Datenverantwortlichen dazu anzufordern. Manche Auftragsverarbeiter haben viel Zeit und Arbeit in die Änderung ihrer Infrastruktur, Services und Workflows investiert, um zu gewährleisten, dass personenbezogene Daten in der EU verarbeitet werden. Andere, die nicht in der Lage oder nicht gewillt sind, diese Anpassungen vorzunehmen, benachrichtigen ihre Datenverantwortlichen lediglich, dass sie Daten an Orte außerhalb der EU senden, und bitten die Datenverantwortlichen um deren Zustimmung. In beiden Fällen sind angemessene Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zum Schutz personenbezogener Daten erforderlich. Wir stellen fest, dass es einen großen Unterschied zwischen dem gibt, was Unternehmen sich unter DSGVO-Compliance vorstellen und dem, was sie letztendlich erhalten. Die DSGVO behandelt verschiedene Länder nicht gleich. Die Verordnung definiert verschiedene Regionen Zunächst wäre da der Europäische Wirtschaftsraum EWR. Daten in diesen Ländern unterliegen den EU-Datenschutzvorschriften und können daher innerhalb des EWR übertragen werden, ohne dass zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen vorgeschrieben sind. Manche Organisationen ziehen es aber weiterhin vor oder verlangen, dass Daten in ihrem jeweiligen Land bleiben. Die zweite Stufe sind Länder wie Kanada und Israel, die laut EU-Kommission einen angemessenen Schutz und dadurch zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für die Datenübertragung bieten d. h. US-EU Privacy Shield oder EU-Standardvertragsklauseln müssen nicht implementiert werden. Die dritte Stufe sind Länder wie die USA und China, die der Verordnung zufolge keinen angemessenen Schutz bieten. Um Daten in diesen Ländern zu verarbeiten, müssen zusätzliche Maßnahmen implementiert werden wie z. B. US-EU Privacy Shield, bindende Unternehmensvorschriften oder EU-Standardvertragsklauseln. Wer greift auf Ihre Daten zu? Für die DSGVO geht es bei der Datenverarbeitung nicht nur um den Ort, an dem die Daten gespeichert werden. Sie betrifft auch die Standorte der Personen, die auf die Daten zugreifen denn der Zugriff auf die Daten wird als Verarbeitung betrachtet. Bei der Arbeit mit einem SaaS-Anbieter müssen Sie sich daher die folgenden Fragen stellen Wo befindet sich das Supportteam und wer kann personenbezogene Daten während des Supportprozesses anzeigen oder erhalten? Wo befinden sich die Entwicklungsmitarbeiter, die auf Produktionsdaten zugreifen können? Wo befinden sich Unterauftragsverarbeiter? Unterauftragsverarbeiter sind Dienstanbieter, die Ihr SaaS-Anbieter für Zwecke wie Datenbereinigung oder Kontorecherchen nutzt. Diese Gruppen können personenbezogene Daten anderen Dritten z. B. einem Supportservice, der von einem Auftragnehmer oder einem cloudbasierten CRM-System bereitgestellt wird gegenüber exponieren. Was sind Ihre Ziele hinsichtlich der DSGVO-Compliance? Ich habe versucht, die oben angegebenen Definitionen zu vereinfachen. Die Frage bleibt aber Was versuchen Sie in puncto DSGVO für Ihre Organisation zu erreichen? Wenn andere mir diese Frage stellen, meinen sie in der Regel Bleiben meine Daten in der EU? Das ist nämlich das Ergebnis, das sie sich bezüglich der DSGVO am meisten wünschen. Der Grund dafür, dass sie die Daten in der EU halten, ist auf zwei grundlegende Anliegen zurückzuführen Mangelndes Vertrauen in die Sicherheitsbehörden von Ländern außerhalb der EU Der Glaube, dass an anderen Orten ohne angemessene Vorschriften die Daten nicht sicher genug sind Daher gilt Selbst wenn sich ein US-basierter Auftragsverarbeiter nach dem Privacy Shield Framework zertifizieren lässt und die Daten diesem Rahmenwerk entsprechend überträgt, bedeutet das trotzdem, dass die Daten in die USA übertragen werden, und genau das versuchen viele Leute zu vermeiden. Die DSGVO ist für Dienstanbieter nicht zu unterschätzen Aus Sicht eines Dienstanbieters ist das Ziel, personenbezogene Daten ganz in der EU zu belassen, nicht einfach zu erfüllen. Ich werde Cyren als Beispiel verwenden. Im vergangenen Jahr bestand ein großer Teil der Arbeit der Forschungs- und Entwicklungs-, Detektions-, Cloud Operations- und IT-Abteilungen von Cyren in der Schaffung der korrekten Infrastruktur, mit der wir personenbezogene Daten für eine Reihe unserer Serviceangebote in der EU belassen können. Das ist aufgrund der globalen Cloud-Infrastruktur sowohl für Bedrohungsdetektions- als auch Internet- und E-Mail-Sicherheitslösungen eine komplizierte Aufgabe. Das Ziel war klar bestätigen zu können, dass Cyren die personenbezogenen Daten unserer Kunden in der EU verarbeitet. Helfen Ihre Dienstanbieter Ihnen, Ihre DSGVO-Ziele zu erfüllen? Wenn Sie Ihre Ziele in puncto DSGVO-Compliance bestimmt haben, sollten Sie prüfen, was jeder Ihrer Dienstanbieter und Lieferanten hinsichtlich deren DSGVO-Compliance bieten kann und wie Sie von ihnen unterstützt werden können. Um zu erklären, wie präzise wir als Auftragsverarbeiter sind, entwickelten wir in unserer DPA eine Tabelle mit all unseren Produkten und Dienstleistungen und spezifizierten genau, welche Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten wir in jedem Bereich durchführen. Manche Dienstleistungen werden vollständig in der EU bereitgestellt, andere in den USA und wieder andere in der EU, doch kann der Tier 3- oder Tier 4-Support in einem anderen, angemessenen Rechtsgebiet stattfinden. Wenn Supportpersonal Zugang zu den personenbezogenen Daten der Benutzer hat E-Mail-Adresse allein reicht aus, um dieser Definition zu entsprechen, dann ist der Standort des Supportteams von Bedeutung. Der Auftragsverarbeiter ist dafür verantwortlich, die korrekte Erklärung hinsichtlich des Datenverarbeitungsorts bereitzustellen. Das wirkliche Ziel ist der Datenschutz Die Arbeit von Cyren in Bezug auf die DSGVO betraf auch viele individuelle Merkmale in unseren Services, die die Bemühungen unserer Kunden zum Schutz der Privatsphäre ihrer Mitarbeiter unterstützen. Als Beispiel haben wir unser Administrator-Berechtigungsmodell ausgeweitet und die Rolle eines Data Guardian Datenschützer geschaffen. Nur Administratoren mit dieser Berechtigung können die tatsächlichen Namen der Benutzer in Berichten sehen. Die anderen Administratoren sehen nur unleserliche Namen. Dies ergänzt eine ähnliche Berechtigung, die die Daten von Benutzern in unserem E-Mail-Archivierungsservice schützt und nur einen der vielen Wege darstellt, wie wir den Anforderungen unserer Kunden entgegenkommen. Es gibt natürlich weitere Anforderungen und wir mussten zusätzliche Entwicklungsmaßnahmen implementieren, um die DSGVO zu unterstützen.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo GDPR Security  Breaches What You Must Know May 4, 2018 GDPR Security  Breaches What You Must Know According the 2017 Ponemon Cost of Data Breach Study , the global average cost of a data breach is 3.2 million. The good news that cost is down 10 over previous years. The bad news companies in the study have experienced larger breaches an increase of 1.8 equating to 24,000 records per breach. Per GDPR General Data Protection Regulation mandates, service providers are required to take appropriate and effective measures to safeguard consumers personal data. If a breach occurs, the organization must notify both the Information Commissioners Office ICO AND the customers should the breach be likely to adversely affect consumer privacy. So, how does GDPR define security and breaches? What do organizations need to do, and how are organizations held accountable? Lets review these in detail Security Service providers must take appropriate measures to safeguard the security of your service and inform customers of potential security risks. This includes instituting processes for authorized access, secure data storage and transmission, and implementing security policies commensurate to the levels of data used in providing the service. Data controllers should collaborate with network providers to ensure reasonable cooperation and protection of the data. Your company must also inform customers regarding the security risks incurred in providing their data, specifically regarding 1 the nature of the risk, 2 the measures consumers take to safeguard against the risk and 3 the nominal costs of taking those measures. Breaches Personal data breaches are any security breach leading to the accidental or unlawful access or action affecting consumers personal data. This may affect the accuracy, storage, analysis, or transmission of the data and can open the consumer to significant risk. Should a breach occur, your data protection officer DPO must contact the ICO, determine whether they must notify consumers, and record each breach in a specified breach log. The ICO notification identifies specifics of the breach dates and times of breach and detection information about the type of breach and the personal data affected. DPOs should also include as many details as possible in the log regarding the effects and the efforts taken to mitigate them. If you decide to contact your customers, DPOs must include details including estimated date of breach, incident summary, likely effect upon data and the individual, and measures taken to mitigate these effects. And The Ugly So, what happens if you dont report these breaches? Failure to submit this information may incur a 1,000 approximately 1,400 fine per breach incident. This is on top of other fines related to the severity of the breach and the determination of how the organization managed the situation. And The Good, Again At the end of the day, the GDPR codifies and standardizes an approach to safeguard consumers personal data. Each organization is responsible for the data it requests to serve its customer base. These definitions, procedures, and penalties are in place to protect businesses lower costs, better reputation and individuals data rights and security. Better organizations, better processes, better consumer protection. Its a win-win-win scenario!

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Open Source Ransomware Targets Fortnite Users August 20, 2019 The global gaming phenomenon Fortnite has a huge global user base  last reported in March at 250 million gamers  and the just-concluded Fortnite World Cup with its 30 million prize pool and an online viewing audience of over two million has certainly only added to its allure. Over 40 million Fortnite gamers competed in qualifying rounds to get one of the 100 coveted spots in the World Cup and a guaranteed 50,000 payout, plus a shot at the 3 million top prize won by a 16-year old!. Given the size of the global player pool and the evident motivation to up ones game, it comes as no surprise that cybercriminals are now targeting Fortnite users by leveraging their competitive zeal. A new ransomware auto-denominated Syrk, built with tools available on the internet, has been found to be masquerading as a game hack tool for Fortnite, basically a cheat which promises to give players an edge in aiming accurately an aimbot and knowing the locations of other players ESP, in the gamer parlance. We expect it to possibly be distributed via an upload to a sharing site and the link posted in Fortnite users in forums. Uses Open Source Ransomware, Decryption Possible Weve taken a deep dive into the sample reported by Leo to understand how it works, with the step-by-step analysis laid out below, and perhaps most interestingly can report spoiler alert! that this Syrk ransomware is in fact Hidden-Cry with a .Syrk extension. The source code for Hidden-Cry is readily available, having been shared on Github at the end of last year. One principle feature of the Hidden-Cry ransomware is that, as seen in the instructions shown, is the sense of urgency it creates in the victim by deleting files every two hours. However, we believe it is possible for victims to recover deleted files, given the simple method used to delete the files. We also provide instructions at the end to victims on two methods for decrypting files without paying to receive a password. How It Works At 12MB, we note that this ransomware is quite large. Checking the file SydneyFortniteHacks.exe  SyrkProject.exe077eee74b8f1227707b389a953234756d3bf8b78108a24f132bd5feb209dd8f6, it has a lot of files embedded in its resource section. These files are the main component it uses for its malicious routine. Once the file is executed, it will go through the following 10 steps 1. Pings gr9wgs94fg5sb3y8l.000webhostapp.com 2. Copies SydneyFortniteHacks.exe to CUsersPublicDocuments 3. Disables Windows Defender and UAC through a registry tweak 4. Drops the file cgo46ea565sdfse7.exe in CUsersPublicDocuments Encryption Process 5. The ransomware executes cgo46ea565sdfse7.exe. Since it is a Hidden-Cry-based ransomware, it drops the following batch files USERPROFILEDocumentsWindowsPowerShellModulesCipherCipher.psm1 USERPROFILEDocumentsWindowsPowerShellModulesCiphercry.ps1It imports Cipher.psm1 and tries to encrypt files with the following extensions .gif, .sln, .docx, .php, .psd, .ico, .mov, .xlsx, .jpg, .xls, .doc, .pdf, .wav, .pptx, .ppt, .txt, .png, .bmp, .rar, .zip, .mp3, .mp4, .avi Key  NDZlODRmYzNlYTJhMDFlMTUwZDE3YzdiMmQzN2JhN2Q Uses .Syrk as extension 6. It then drops the file startSF.exe in CUsersPublicDocuments 7. Executes startSF.exe to have persistency in the infected machine, which drops and executes a batch file which moves CUsersPublicDocumentsSydneyFortniteHacks.exe to appdataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartupSydneyFortniteHacks.exe 8. It monitors for the following tools to prevent it from terminating its process Taskmgr Procmon64 ProcessHacker 9. The next step is it will set a timed procedure to try and delete the encrypted files in the directories listed below, deleting the files every two hours in the following order userprofilePictures userprofileDesktop userprofileDocuments Propagation 10. Now it will use LimeUSB_Csharp.exe to infect USB drives if they exist. Like Hidden-Cry, LimeUSBs source code is shared in a code sharing website. It will check for USB drives in the infected machine and will replace the original file with a SCR file. The original file is copied under the LimeUSB folder together with its original icon under LimeIcons. The SCR file will have the same icon as the original file, and once executed it will open the malware copy and the original file, imitating an infected file scenario. Clicking the showID part of the ransom window will bring you to another window that will show the ID and ask for the password to decrypt the files. Other Methods for Decrypting Files Fortunately, the files to decrypt the encrypted files can be found in the infected machine. The file dh35s3h8d69s3b1k.exe is the Hidden-Cry decrypting tool, and can be found as one of the resources embedded in the main malware. Since the key used is already known, it can be used to create a PowerShell script based on the shared source of the Hidden-Cry decrypter. To do this, extract the embedded file dh35s3h8d69s3b1k.exe and execute the file in the infected machine. It will drop the necessary PowerShell script needed to decrypt the files. As a second approach, the main malware also drops the file where you can find the password. It drops the following files CUsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoft-i.txt - file containing the randomly generated ID CUsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoft-pw.txt - file containing the password CUsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoftdp-.txt - file contains ID and password. This will be sent to an email address. Clean-Up It also has a file to delete the files it dropped. If a password was used to decrypt the files, Delete.exe will be dropped and executed, which will delete the following files CUsersPublicDocumentsdh35s3h8d69s3b1k.exe CUsersPublicDocumentscgo46ea565sdfse7.exe CUsersPublicDocumentsstartSF.exe CUsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoftdp-.txt CUsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoft-i.txt CUsersDefaultAppDataLocalMicrosoft-pw.txt It will also drop the file delmy.exe, which will delete the file appdataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartupSydneyFortniteHacks.exe Filename SHA256 Detection Details SydneyFortniteHacks.exe 077eee74b8f1227707b389a953234756d3bf8b78108a24f132bd5feb209dd8f6 W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample cgo46ea565sdfse7.exe c239d501439b776e93085925eb132ff164b1f3ba4fdc356a00045e8674dc1387 W32Ransom.LH.gen!Eldorado component for encrypting files dh35s3h8d69s3b1k.exe 08baaf7c861748b227a93e41e28f99a258eb4ce149fa31b7ffe93bc23e385709 W32Ransom.LH.gen!Eldorado component for decrypting files startsf.exe 31c3e1c03b15347bf8184854e65261a81ba12db0dcf3aeb5344ced6d8321ddf1 W32Batdrop.A.gen!Eldorado component for creating persistency delmy.exe fb8bac3a3d04aff294be9ede1d5742ebcab59c3bc14143e328e33cf71bb59b97 W32Batdrop.A.gen!Eldorado component for deleting persistency deletefile.exe 4197a4146bbf406f21577569290a2772b22af80f4043f670240319fb807cf3d4 W32Krysdrop.A component for cleaning up dropped files limeusb_csharp.exe a3368e8a66a87b01cab209816de2648dc36059cb4ae6e3cf41c9d2aff79f9e0c W32Kryslime.A.gen!Eldorado component for propagation SydneyFortniteHacks.exe 8fef3e33ad10eace4c472942510ce66525daf0282a6bf8d42c9c66bb844ec6ce W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample SydneyFortniteHacks.exe 54b62ed00e7cc8c39b09f53bec692dc7418c654f269f3392d95fba418cc8af20 W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample SydneyFortniteHacks.exe eda75fece8a02eb169b90a02322cd4ff2b1485ad5cdc0da7ddaa2c851a7a2614 W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample SydneyFortniteHacks.exe 36f88efe39d8cf16ae5ea6fb970f779ea4f80c2045a9a1b8da5657d495ddfe35 W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample SydneyFortniteHacks.exe 6b156d23e8e85af8635a101b2c1a8c227cfb01a4092a076f0d00ea82b6f6bb19 W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample SydneyFortniteHacks.exe 794020d4ad5733907bf28e278644351965b38f155637203710550ae77f6c0e15 W32Ransom.Krys.A.gen!Eldorado Main malware sample For more information on ransomware protection, check out our page here .

Perhaps you were the last one to arrive at the meeting and the rest of your colleagues volunteered you. Of course, your boss said, This is valuable work you are just the person for the role, so you rose to the challenge. If youve read this far, you probably are not one of the few data protection professionals, and youre learning on the fly, trying to comprehend all things GDPR related and to prepare your company for 25 May 2018, when the European Union General Data Protection Regulation  GDPR  takes effect. What must you know? What does GDPR mean for Data Controllers, and what exactly is a Data Protection Officer? Here is a quick tutorial. Data Controllers The Data Protection Act of 1998  DPA  established the role of data controller to exercise overall control over the purpose for, and the manner in which, personal data are processed. A data controller must exercise control over and assume responsibility for data processing across the organization. Data Processors The DPA distinguishes between data controllers and data processors. A data processor is anyone who processes the data on behalf of the organizational data controller. Data processing includes any action from the beginning of the process i.e., retrieval, storage, analysis to the end i.e., transmission, dissemination, erasure, or destruction. How has GDPR changed these positions? New Rules Under GDPR The GDPR has provisions for both controllers and processors that bolster their authorities and responsibilities for the data managed throughout the organization. Controllers still determine the purposes and means for processing personal data. GDPR requires controllers to manage the following 1 Transparency GDPR requires organizations to conduct information audits and map data flows. You must also document the personal data you store, its source, what youre doing with it, and with whom you share it. 2 Legality Businesses must identify and document the legal bases for processing personal data. 3 Document Consent How do you request and record consent? Are your data systems capable of recording and managing these consent documents? GDPR requires this review for your organization. And if your business delivers online services directly to minors, you must have data systems capable of securing consent from their guardian. 4 Registration Lastly, your organization must register with the Information Commissioners Office. Data Protection Officer DPO GDPR requires organizations to appoint a data protection officer DPO if you are a public agency or carry out specific processing activities e.g., large scale, regular, and systematic monitoring of individuals or large scale processing of special categories of data or data related to criminal convictions and offenses. The DPO plays a crucial role to help your organization fulfill its data protection obligations. The DPO must 1 Report directly to upper management and function independently of other branches. 2 Be involved in all issues relating to the protection of personal data. 3 Be sufficiently resourced to perform necessary tasks. 4 Perform their tasks without conflicts of interest or fear of penalty. These tasks include the following a. Monitor compliance with GDPR laws and policies. b. Advise the organization on steps to comply with data protection obligations. c. Provide advice for Data Protection Impact Assessments DPIA. d. Act as a contact point for the Information Commissioners Office ICO. You must document the name and contact details of your DPO and controllers, and you must provide them to the ICO. If you decide your organization does not warrant a DPO position, its best to record this decision to demonstrate compliance with GDPRs accountability principle Article 5 2. At FileFacets, we recognize there is no silver bullet for GDPR compliance, but we can help organizations take the first essential step of knowing where their sensitive data is stored.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Exponierte Daten von Automobilherstellern verdeutlicht die Sicherheitsrisiken durch Zulieferer July 30, 2018 Die Möglichkeit, dass ein einzelner Anbieter mehreren Unternehmen in der weiteren Lieferkette signifikanten Schaden anrichten kann, wurde diese Woche wieder mit der Meldung bestätigt, dass ein kleines Robotik-Unternehmen 157 GB hochsensibler Daten von mehr als 100 Kunden wie GM, Ford, Chrysler und Toyota exponiert hatte. Die exponierten Daten umfassten Pläne von Montagelinien und Roboterkonfigurationen von Kunden bis hin zu Mitarbeiter-ID- und VPN-Zugangsinformationen. Darüber hinaus exponierte der Robotikanbieter auch seine eigenen Unternehmens- und Mitarbeiterdaten wie Bankkontodetails, Verträge, Scans von Reisepässen und Personalausweisen. Dieses jüngste Fiasko unterstreicht die Anfälligkeiten der vernetzten Geschäftswelt von heute. Viele kleine bis mittelgroße Unternehmen liegen im Kern einer Datenschutzverletzung, die sich auf ihre Kunden, Partner und Lieferanten auswirken kann, von denen einige auch größere und bekanntere Unternehmen sein können. Diese Verletzungen werden oft dadurch verursacht, dass kleinere Unternehmen die durch nicht ausreichende oder veraltete Sicherheitssysteme entstehenden Risiken außer Acht lassen. Bekannte Hacks deuten weiterhin auf kleinere Lieferanten hin Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass ein Lieferketten-Hack-Szenario, in dessen kleines bis mittelgroßes Unternehmen im Zentrum steht und für Aufregung sorgt. Lieferketten-Datenschutzverletzungen haben einen immer größeren Anteil an den globalen Angriffen mit hohem Profil. 2013 meldete der US-Einzelhandelskonzern Target eine umfassende Datenschutzverletzung durch Hacking, bei der 40 Millionen Kredit- und Debitkarten und die E-Mail und Postadressen von 70 bis 110 Millionen Menschen betroffen waren. In diesem Fall war der Schuldige ein Klimasystem-Anbieter in der Lieferkette von Target, nicht Target selbst. Der Vorfall begann damit, dass ein Mitarbeiter einen E-Mail-Anhang mit Malware öffnete, durch den die Systempasswörter des Klimasystem-Anbieters erfasst wurden. Dadurch konnten die Hacker auf die Systeme von Target zugreifen. Für den massiven Hacker-Angriff auf Home Depot im Jahr 2014 der zu 56 Mio. gestohlenen Kredit- und Debitkartendatensätzen und 53 Mio. gestohlenen E-Mail-Adressen führte wurde ein Drittanbieter verantwortlich gemacht, ebenso für die jüngsten Hacks bei Amazon Web Services und Wendys sowie für die sogenannte Panama Papers-Datenschutzverletzung. Erst im letzten Jahr fokussierte ein Ransomware-Angriff auf die Reederei A.P. Moller-Maersk  mit verheerenden Auswirkungen, denn der Angriff wirkte sich schnell auf andere Logistik- und Transportunternehmen aus und brachte die Aktivitäten in fast 80 Häfen und Terminals weltweit zum Stillstand. Die Attacke kostete das Unternehmen geschätzte 300 Mio. US-Dollar. Bei diesem jüngsten Versagen der Lieferkettensicherheit wurde die Robotikfirma von Sicherheitsexperten über das Problem informiert, wodurch das Problem innerhalb weniger Tage behoben werden konnte. Während es keinen klaren Nachweis gibt, dass Hacker während des Exponierungszeitraums Zugang zu den Daten erhielten, kann sich niemand sicher sein, dass Kriminelle nicht um die Schwächen wussten und sie einige Zeit lang ausnutzten. Unabhängig davon, ob die Daten dieses Robotikunternehmens von Cyberkriminellen genutzt wurden oder nicht, stellt sich durch dieses jüngste Beispiel die umfassendere Frage nach der Lieferkettensicherheit und dem Ausmaß, in dem Unternehmen insbesondere kleine bis mittelgroße das Problem ernst nehmen. Können Sie es sich leisten, mit ungeschützten Anbietern Geschäfte zu führen? Einer Studie, des Ponemon Institute, von 2017 zufolge waren 56  aller großen Datenschutzverletzungen das Ergebnis einer anfänglichen Verletzung bei einem Dritt-Lieferkettenanbieter oder Lieferanten. Und der 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report zeigte, dass in 58  aller Fälle kleinere Unternehmen wahrscheinlicher das Ziel von Cyberkriminellen werden. Lieferkettenanbieter erhalten oft Zugriff auf die Unternehmensdaten und sogar die Netzwerk-Anmeldedaten ihrer Kunden. Während so viele Phishing- und andere Arten von Cyberattacken stattfinden, wie nie zuvor Phishing war 2017 der erfolgreichste Angriffstyp auf alle Unternehmen, wie die jährliche Cyren-Osterman Research-Studie belegt, stellen sich andere Unternehmen in der Lieferkette, insbesondere größere Unternehmen, deren Ruf auf dem Spiel steht und die beträchtliche Geldsummen verlieren könnten, zunehmend die Frage, ob es für sie sinnvoll ist, mit einer kleinen bis mittelgroßen Firma Geschäfte zu führen, die evtl. keine ausreichenden Sicherheitsmaßnahmen implementiert hat, um sensible Daten zu schützen. Diese Sorgen hinsichtlich der mangelnden Sicherheit bei einem Lieferkettenanbieter sind nicht unbegründet. Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass Cyberkriminelle zunehmend kleine bis mittelgroße Lieferkettenanbieter ins Visier nehmen. IT-Entscheidungsträger sind sich dieser Tatsache bewusst. In einer von der Firma Crowdstrike durchgeführten Umfrage im Juli 2018 unter 1300 IT-Entscheidungsträgern bei mittelgroßen bis großen Unternehmen gaben fast 80 Prozent der Befragten an, dass Lieferkettenangriffe ihrer Meinung nach in den nächsten drei Jahren zur größten Cyberbedrohung werden könnten. Noch bemerkenswerter ist, dass 87 Prozent angaben, dass für sie Sicherheit ein kritischer Faktor bei Kaufentscheidungen und der Wahl neuer Lieferanten ist. Umfassende Verbundenheit sorgt für kollektives Risiko Durch die Natur der Lieferkette selbst sind E-Mail- und Internetbedrohungen besonders gefährlich. Unternehmen in einer Lieferkette sind in der Regel dezentralisiert, mit vielen anderen Unternehmen verbunden und geografisch verteilt. Komplexe Gruppen großer und kleiner Stakeholder einschließlich Auftragnehmer, Anbieter von Materialien und Dienstleistungen sowie Finanzeinrichtungen stellen oft eine Lieferkette dar, die um die ganze Welt reicht. Diese Interaktion und Verbundenheit zwischen großen und kleinen Unternehmen trägt zu den verheerenden Gesamtauswirkungen eines Angriffs auf die Lieferkette bei. Beim Maersk-Angriff 2017 waren zum Beispiel nicht nur Seehäfen und Containerschiffe betroffen. LKW mit Binnenzielorten wurden stunden- und manchmal sogar tagelang an verschiedenen Häfen aufgehalten und mussten warten, bis die Systeme wieder online waren, sodass Sendungen abgefertigt und empfangen oder zugestellt werden konnten. Die Auswirkungen nahmen dadurch gewaltig zu und verzögerten den Produktvertrieb für längere Zeit. Zu viele Unternehmen nicht ausreichend gesichert Als sich die Nachricht verbreitete, dass Einzelhandelsgigant Target über einen seiner kleinen Anbieter für Klimasysteme einer Verletzung zum Opfer fiel, konnten viele IT-Fachleute nur den Kopf schütteln, als sie erfuhren, dass die einzige Sicherheitslösung zwischen Target und dem Anbieter von Klimasystemen ein kostenloses Online-Sicherheits-Tool war, das der Klimasystem-Anbieter zum Schutz des Unternehmens und seiner Kunden benutzte. Fakt ist, dass viele kleine bis mittelgroße Unternehmen annehmen, unbeachtet zu bleiben, wenn es darum geht, eine bescheidene Investition in robuste Cybersicherheit zu tätigen. Realität ist, dass Unternehmen, die sich stärker auf eine positive Denkweise verlassen als echte Sicherheit, einem extremen Risiko ausgesetzt sind. Endpunkt- und Appliance-basierte Sicherheit und kostenlose Online-Sicherheits-Tools werden in der Regel nicht in Echtzeit aktualisiert. Daher können sie von neuen und sich weiter entwickelnden Bedrohungen überwunden werden, bevor ein angemessener Schutz implementiert ist. Der springende Punkt Echtzeit ist sehr wichtig. Bedrohungen entwickeln sich jederzeit weiter. Wenn eine Bedrohung gestartet wurde, haben Sie nur Sekunden, um sie zu blockieren. Wenn Ihre Sicherheits-Tools, Ihr E-Mail-Client oder Browser nicht ständig und in Echtzeit aktualisiert werden, ist kein angemessener Schutz vorhanden. Ungeschützte Mobilmitarbeiter machen die Sache noch komplizierter Die Komplexität einer mobilen Belegschaft erhöht das Risiko von Angriffen auf Lieferketten noch mehr. Bei einer zunehmend mobilen Belegschaft sind Mitarbeiter nicht mehr auf die Arbeitsumgebung beschränkt, die durch Perimetersicherheitsgeräte geschützt wird. Bring-your-own-DeviceBYOD-Richtlinien bedeuten, dass viele verschiedene Geräte mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Betriebssystemen auf Unternehmensressourcen zugreifen und potenziell schädliche Phishing-Programme, Malware und Ransomware herunterladen, die wiederum an andere im gleichen Unternehmensnetzwerk weitergegeben werden. Mobilgeräte müssen heute unabhängig von Ort, Gerätetyp, Betriebsplattform oder Geräteeigner geschützt werden. Die geschäftlichen Auswirkungen einer Verletzung Angesichts der Gesamtkosten einiger dieser jüngsten umfangreichen Verletzungen bei Target waren das 200 Mio. US-Dollar, bei Maersk 300 Mio. US-Dollar ist klar, dass die Auswirkungen einer Sicherheitsverletzung bei einem großen oder kleinen Unternehmen nicht zu unterschätzen sind. So viele Unternehmen verlassen sich sehr auf Projekt- und Produktionszeitpläne. Jede Art von Unterbrechung wirkt sich daher negativ auf die Erlöse aus. Und der darauffolgende Rufverlust verschärft eine sehr schwierige finanzielle Situation dann noch zusätzlich. Unternehmen müssen die Risiken erkennen und sich vorbereiten Sicherheit ist nur so gut wie das schwächste Glied in der Kette. Und Lieferketten werden immer umfangreicher und komplexer. Kein Unternehmen möchte im Zentrum einer umfassenden Datenschutzverletzung mit nationalen oder gar globalen Auswirkungen stehen. Letztendlich muss jedes Unternehmen, das innerhalb einer Lieferkette tätig ist also alle Unternehmen, weil kein Unternehmen heute in einem völligen Vakuum operiert, Cyberangriffe als kritisches Geschäftsrisiko betrachten, wie das auch bei der Compliance oder bei Finanzrisiken der Fall ist. Daher müssen Cybersicherheitsmaßnahmen echte Cybersicherheit, nicht die kostenlosen Online-Downloads  eine wichtige Komponente jedes Geschäftsrisikoplans darstellen. Zu den ersten Aktivitäten, die kleine bis mittelgroße Unternehmen durchführen müssen, zählt regelmäßiges und häufiges Patching von Systemen, Browsern und Plug-ins hinsichtlich Updates oder identifizierten Exploits, Bereitstellung eines cloudbasierten Internet- und E-Mail-Gateway-Schutzes, Schutz vor schwer zu erkennenden Bedrohungen mithilfe fortgeschrittener Sandboxing-Funktionen und die Nutzung eines Passwortmanagement-Tools sowie von Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Email Hijacking Delivers Qakbot Malware August 4, 2022 Introduction Originally a banking Trojan that existed in the wild as early as 2007, Qakbot or QBot is a pioneer of malware as a service, which is continually maintained and developed to this day. While its main purpose is to steal banking credentials such as logins and passwords, it has also added functionalities to spy on financial operations, spread itself and install ransomware in compromised organizations to maximize revenue for cybercriminals. Email Hijacking Recently we have observed the following malware campaign exhibiting a man-in-the-middle MITM attack known as email hijacking, where malicious replies are inserted between existing legitimate email conversations. This kind of attack is commonly executed through compromised email accounts of users, who are most probably also infected with Qakbot. Figure 1. Qakbot malware infection chain Figure 2. Hijacked email thread Figure 3. Hijacked email reply The hijacked email message includes a link to a file, which looks related to alleged attachments discussed in the email conversation. To further lure the reader into clicking on the malicious download link, the threat actor purposefully saves the malicious payload in a password-protected ZIP file and mentions the password in the email message. The malicious link redirects the user to download a password-protected ZIP file that contains a malicious Windows Shortcut file LNK. Figure 4. Malicious LNK commands Once the downloaded ZIP file is extracted using the password provided in the email, and the contained Windows Shortcut file is executed, a JavaScript payload is downloaded and executed via wscript. the Qakbot DLL payload and execute it via regsvr32, the new variant makes use of JavaScript as an additional layer of execution, preventing security solutions from immediately detecting the final payload. The downloaded JavaScript payload is heavily obfuscated, making code analysis difficult. It includes obfuscation that hinders debuggers such as Visual Studio Code and browser source debuggers Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, causing them to raise exceptions that prevent the malware from running properly when debugged. Figure 5. Heavily obfuscated Qakbot javascript code Fortunately, we have an internal tool known as CyrenSE Cyren Script Emulator, which can emulate the obfuscated JavaScript malware and log script execution events, giving us a clearer view of the malicious behavior, as shown in the examples below. Figure 6. CyrenSE event log In this case, the JavaScript payload appears to have been included as an additional layer in the infection chain before downloading and executing the Qakbot payload which is usually delivered as executable Windows DLLs loaded via regsvr32. Unfortunately, the download links to the final malware payload are no longer accessible. The demonstrated infection chain shows a clear relation to previous Qakbot campaigns and may eventually lead to further delivery of ransomware to the intended targets. Recommendations As threat actors have become more sophisticated in the attack methods they use, implementing comprehensive email and network security has become essential for protecting your company from reputational damage, brand damage, data loss, and more. Cyren Inbox Security uses elaborate logic and remediation rules to protect its users effectively and without excess noise.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Exposure of car manufacturers data underscores risks posed by suppliers July 30, 2018 The ability of a single vendor to cause significant damage to multiple businesses in the wider supply chain became evident once again this week with the news that a small robotics company had exposed 157 gigabytes of highly sensitive data belonging to over 100 customers, including massive multinationals, like GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota. The exposed data included everything from customer assembly line schematics and robotic configurations to employee ID and VPN access information. In addition, the robotics vendor also exposed its own corporate and employee data, such as bank account details, contracts, and scans of passports and drivers licenses. This most recent fiasco underscores the vulnerabilities of todays interconnected business world, with many small- to mid-sized businesses finding themselves at the heart of a breach affecting their customers, partners, and suppliers, some of whom may actually be larger, more high-profile companies. The cause of these breaches most often seems to be the smaller businesses failing to recognize the danger posed by insufficient or outdated security. Famous hacks keep pointing to smaller suppliers This isnt the first time the supply-chain-hack scenario, with a small- and mid-size firm at the center of the uproar, has made headlines. In fact, supply chain breaches increasingly constitute the majority of global high-profile attacks. In 2013, the US retailer Target announced a large-scale breach involving the hack and compromise of 40 million credit and debit cards, and email and mailing addresses for 70 to 110 million people. In this instance, it was an HVAC vendor in Targets supply chainnot Target itselfthat was the source for the hack, which began with a single employee opening an email attachment containing malware that captured the HVAC vendors system passwords, allowing the hackers to gain access into Targets systems. The massive 2014 hack into Home Depot resulting in 56 million stolen credit and debit card details and 53 stolen email addresses, was attributed to a third-party vendor, as were the recent hacks into Amazon Web Services and Wendys, as well as the so-called Panama Papers breach. And only last year, a ransomware attack focused on the shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk had devastating effects as it spiraled outward to logistics and transportation companies, bringing activities to a halt in almost 80 ports and terminals around the globe. This attack cost the company an estimated 300 million. In this most recent supply chain security failure, the robotics firm was notified of the problem by security researchers, enabling the company to fix the issue within a few days. And, while there is no obvious evidence that hackers had gained access to the data during the exposure period, no one can be completely certain that criminals hadnt been aware of the weakness and exploiting it quietly for some time. Irrespective of whether or not the data from this robotics company had been leveraged by cybercriminals, this most recent example does raise the larger issue of supply chain securityand the extent to which companies particularly the small- to mid-sized firms are taking the issue seriously. Can you afford to do business with unprotected vendors? A 2017 study by the Ponemon Institute, found that 56 of large breaches were the result of an initial breach into a third-partysupply-chain vendor or supplier. And, the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report showed that smaller businesses are more likely to be the target of cybercrime 58 of the time. Supply chain vendors are often granted access to their customers corporate data and even network login credentials. With phishing and other types of cyberattacks at an all-time high phishing was the most successful type of attack on all businesses in 2017, according to the annual Cyren-Osterman Research survey , other companies in the supply chainparticularly larger companies with their reputation at stake and considerable sums of money to loseare beginning to question whether it makes sense for them to do business with a small- to mid-sized firm that may not have implemented sufficient security measures to protect sensitive data. These concerns related to the security or lack thereof of a supply chain vendor are not without merit. For better or worse, research bears out the fact that, as far as cybercriminals are concerned, small- to mid-sized supply chain vendors are currently walking around with massive targets on their backs. And, IT decision makers are aware of this fact. In a July 2018 survey of 1,300 IT decision makers at mid-size to large firms, by the company Crowdstrike, nearly 80 percent of respondents stated that they believe supply-chain attacks have the potential to become one of the biggest cyber threats over the next three years. More notably, 87 percent said that security was a critical factor when making purchasing decisions surrounding new suppliers. Extensive interconnectedness creates collective risk It is the very nature of the supply chain itself that makes email and web threats particularly dangerous. Businesses operating within a supply chain are typically decentralized, interconnected, and geographically dispersed. Complex groups of large and small stakeholders, including subcontractors, materials and services suppliers, and financial entities often comprise a supply chain that extends around the world. And it is this interaction and interconnectedness between large and small companies that contributes to the overall devastating effects of a supply chain attack. For example, in the 2017 Maersk attack, it wasnt only ports and container vessels that were affected. Trucks destined for inland facilities were held up for hours and even days at various ports waiting for the systems to come back online so they could process and receive or deliver their shipments, the effect of which spiraled and delayed product distribution for extended periods of time. Too many businesses undersecured When the news broke that retailing giant Target had been breached via their small HVAC supplier, many an IT professional shook their head in astonishment to learn that the only security solution standing between Target and the HVAC vendor was a free online security tool used by the HVAC vendor to protect the company and their customers. The fact is that many small- to medium-sized businesses think they can fly under the radar when it comes to making even a modest investment in robust cybersecurity. The reality is that companies that rely more on positive thinking than real security are at extreme risk. Endpoint and appliance-based security and online free security tools are typically not updated in real time, so new and evolving threats are slipping through before protection is in place. And, heres the thing. Real-time is key. Threats are evolving constantly. And, once a threat has been launched, you only have seconds to block it. If your security tools, or email client, or browser arent updated constantlyin real-timethen the protection simply isnt there. Unprotected mobile workforce complicates matters further The complexity of a mobile workforce further adds to supply chain attack risk. With an increasingly mobile workforce, employees are no longer confined to a work environment protected by perimeter security devices. Bring-your-own-device BYOD policies mean that numerous different devices, each with a different operating system are accessing company resourcesand potentially downloading harmful phishing, malware, and ransomware that, in turn, gets passed to others on the same corporate network. Today, mobile devices need to be protected regardless of location, device type, operating platform, or device ownership. The business impacts of a breach Looking at the total cost of some of these recent large breachesfor Target 200 million, for Maersk 300 millionthe impact of a breach on either a large or small business isnt hard to ascertain. With so many businesses heavily reliant on project and production schedules, any type of interruption is going to have a detrimental effect on profits. And, the subsequent reputation loss that follows will likely only further exacerbate an already stretched financial situation. Businesses need to acknowledge risks and be prepared Security is only as good as the weakest link. And supply chains are only growing bigger and more complex. No firm wants to be at the center of a major data breach with national or global implications. Ultimately, any business that operates within a supply chainwhich is to say, all businesses, since no business today operates in a complete vacuumneeds to view cyberattacks as a critical business risk, not unlike compliance or financial risk. As such, cybersecurity measures real cybersecuritynot the free online downloads, needs to be a key component of a business risk plan. Among the first-step activities that small- to medium-sized businesses need to take include regular and frequent patching of systems, browsers, and plugins for updates or identified exploits deploying cloud-based web and email gateway protection protecting against evasive threats with advanced sandboxing and the use of a password management tool and multi-factor authentication.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo How the War in Ukraine Has Influenced the Scammers Underground June 16, 2022 For the past three months, most media news headlines have been talking about a painful subject that leaves no one indifferent the war. Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the international community has been helping the victims by donating to various charities and providing direct assistance to those in need. Along with that, however, there are a lot of criminals ready to take advantage of the global tragedy and use this crisis as the platform for their crimes. For the last few months, Cyren Inbox Security has seen a rise in scams related to charity and donations. Cyren security experts explain that this type of fraud is very dangerous because its nature and content appeal to emotions. When so many people are in need for assistance and the entire world is willing to give a hand, it is truly challenging to distinguish between an actual request for help and a convincing scam. The perfect formula easy to implement, hard to detect A scam is a type of attack that is easy to implement as it doesnt require any special programming or engineering skills. To pull out this type of fraud, the scammer only needs to be persuasive and have good writing skills. Since requests for assistance and donations come from so many often unknown people and because the pattern of requests is random, the scammers can effortlessly avoid detection while security experts have the difficult job of preventing potential victims from being tricked. Our investigation shows that scammers use easily generated addresses obtained from free webmail vendors. The scammers are highly effective at creating a relatable personal story that makes the recipient feel involved. The creativity here is virtually unlimited, with underlying stories ranging from being primitive and boring to those filled with disturbing details. Latest Cyren Inbox Security catches Lets analyze a few examples of the recent scam attempts detected by Cyren. A fraudster who introduces herself as Bohdana Aleksander shares that her husband was killed during the war in Ukraine. Sample email 1 header She then explains that because of the war, she became a political refugee and proceeds to mention some family funds that she allegedly cannot use due to her status. Sample email 1 body part 1 Finally, the scammer delivers the good news she is willing to transfer her family funds to the recipients account so they can be invested in the country of the recipient. Naturally, she assures the recipient of complete confidentiality. Note an important detail the private email addresses provided in the body of the letter do not match the email address from which the original email was sent. Sample email 2 body part 2 Here is another case, no more elaborate than the first. A certain Hee Joung tells a painful story of losing her entire family in the war in Ukraine. Sample email 2 header It turns out the sender has a substantial amount of money that needs to be transferred to another country. Hee Joung needs to leave Ukraine immediately and is asking the potential victim to assist her in making the transfer, offering a subsequent reward. You can figure out the rest. Sample email 2 body Detected and Protected by Cyren Inbox Security Cyren Inbox Security was able to scan and automatically detect these suspicious emails. With the 247 Incident Response service, all the attacks were immediately investigated by our qualified analysts and confirmed as scam for all Cyren Inbox Security customers.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo What does GDPR compliance mean to you? August 3, 2018 On May 25th 2018 the European Union General Data Protection Regulation GDPR came into effect. One of the purposes of this regulation is to better protect the personal data of EU subjects. If you have been working in the IT department of an EU organization any time in the past two years, there is little chance you missed these four letters. Here at Cyren we understand these issues better than most  we have had cloud security data centers in the EU for many years now. But we are starting to realize that there are significant differences in how vendors are implementing GDPR, issues that you should understand. GDPR introduces complexities for SaaS provider-customer relationships Protecting personal data has different meanings to different people and organizations. For GDPR purposes, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person that can directly or indirectly identify them. As well as the obvious, such as an email address, this can include information like location data or an online identifier. The protection of this data is the responsibility of data controllers for the purposes of this discussion, usually the organizations who own the data related to their employees and data processors usually the vendors or service providers who process the data for the data controllers. GDPR requires that data processors only process data in accordance with instructions and permission of the controller. This new regulation indeed poses complicated challenges for both data controllers and data processors. Where will your data reside after May 25? Here is the critical point  GDPR does NOT require personal data to be kept in the EU. Instead it requires data processors to inform the controller where the data is processed and request consent from the data controller to do so. Some data processors have invested a lot of time and effort changing their infrastructure, services and workflows in order to ensure that personal data is processed in the EU. Others, who are unable or unwilling to make these adjustments, simply notify their data controller customers that they are sending data outside the EU, and ask for consent. In both cases, appropriate security measures to safeguard personal data are required. We are finding that there is a big difference between what organizations think of as GDPR compliance, and what they will eventually get. Different countries are not treated equally by GDPR. The regulation defines different regions It starts with the European Economic Area EEA. Data residing in these countries is governed by EU privacy rules and therefore may be transferred within the EEA without imposing additional security measures. However, some organizations still prefer andor require that data stay in their specific country. The second level are countries i.e. Canada and Israel, that the EU Commission has decided provide an adequate level of protection and therefore additional security measures for transfer such as the US-EU Privacy Shield or EU Standard Contractual Clauses need not be implemented. The third level are those countries i.e. the US and China, which are not deemed to have an adequate level of protection. In order to process data in these countries, additional measures must be in place such as US-EU Privacy Shield, binding corporate rules or EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Who is accessing your data? For GDPR, data processing doesnt just address the place in which the data is stored. It is also concerned with the locations of the people who access the data since accessing data is considered to be processing. So, when working with a SaaS provider ask yourself the following questions Where is the support team located and who can view or obtain personal data during the support process? Where are the devops people who can access production data? Where are sub-processors located? Sub-processors are service providers used by your SaaS provider for things like data cleansing or account research, and these groups may expose personal data to other third parties e.g. a support service that is provided by a subcontractor, or a cloud-based CRM system. What are your goals for GDPR compliance? I tried simplifying all the above definitions, but the question remains  what are you trying to achieve for your organization when it comes to GDPR? When people ask me this question, they usually mean do you keep my data in the EU?, as this is their main desired outcome of GDPR. The reason they want to keep the data in the EU comes from two basic concerns Lack of trust in the security agencies of countries outside the EU The belief that in other places without adequate regulations, the data is not safe enough Therefore, even if a US-based data processor issued the Privacy Shield Framework certification and transfers the data according to that framework, it still means data is transferred to the U.S, something that many people tried to avoid in the first place. GDPR is non-trivial for service providers From a service provider point of view, achieving the goal of keeping personal data only in the EU is not a simple task. Ill use Cyren as an example. In the past year a major part of Cyrens RD, Detection, Cloud Operations and IT departments efforts have been invested in creating the right infrastructure that will allow us to keep personal data in the EU for a number of our service offerings. Having a global cloud infrastructure for both threat detection and web and email security solutions, makes it a complicated task. The target was clear  having the ability to state that Cyren processes our customers personal data in the EU. Do your service providers help you meet your GDPR goals? Once you have figured out what your goals are for GDPR compliance, you should check what each of your service providers and vendors offer in terms of their GDPR compliance and how they can support you. To explain how accurate we as a data processor are, in our DPA we created a table with each of our products and services and specified exactly what processing of personal data we do within each. Some services are provided entirely from the EU, some are provided from the U.S and some are provided from the EU, but in case you need tier 3 or tier 4 support, it may go to an Adequate Jurisdiction. If support personnel has access to personal data of users email address by itself is enough to answer this definition, then the location of the support team is important. The data processor has a responsibility to provide the correct statement regarding the data processing location. The real goal is data privacy Cyrens work around GDPR also affected many individual features in our services, which support our customers efforts to protect the privacy of their employees. As an example, we extended our administrator permissions model and created a Data Guardian role. Only administrators with this permission can see the real users names in reports, while the rest of the administrators see obfuscated names. This complements a similar permission, that protects users privacy in our email archiving service and is just one of the many ways that we listen to our customers requirements. There are of course additional requirements and additional development we had to do in order to support the GDPR, however, it will always begin with the question  what does GDPR compliance mean to you?

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Example Analysis of Multi-Component Malware July 12, 2022 Recently, we have received an increase in the number of malicious email samples with password-protected attachments. The recent waves of attacks with Emotet use a similar approach. In this blog we describe our analysis of another set of samples that used file archives e.g. zip file secured with passwords. Figures 1.1 and 1.2 Emails with initial malware component, an HTML attachment Once the HTML file is opened, it will drop a file as if that file was downloaded by the user. The HTML page also displays the password for the dropped file. Figure 2. the HTML attachment will drop a password-protected archive file named download.zip Extracted File One of the samples we analyzed contained a file named IMG0457600xls.exe. The authors tried to disguise the executable file as a Microsoft Office file by using XLS as part as its filename and using a WORD icon. This error by the perpetrators is a red flag for users. Figure 3. PE executable with a WORD icon and double extension xls.exe A quick static analysis of the Portable Executable file reveals that it is a .NET executable so we could use dnSpy to analyze its behavior. Reviewing its code, one of its methods contains a URL to a file named IMG0457600xls.png. The PNG file extension suggests that it might be an image file but its not. We downloaded the file so we could reverse engineer the code. Figure 4. Excerpt code of the download behavior Fileless Payloads To identify what the PNG file truly is, we created a simple tool to reverse its contents. After reversing the content, the downloaded file is another Windows PE object, a DLL file to be exact. This file type is commonly known as a reverse EXE. The DLL payload will be loaded in memory using the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load method. It will then search if it has a member named Dnypiempvyffgdjjm. If found, it will invoke this member via the InvokeMember method that will execute the main code of the payload in memory. Figure 5. Code excerpt of the loop searching for the member Figure 6. EnableServer method which will be called once the member is found Since we had a copy of the downloaded DLL payload reverse EXE with PNG extension, we continued our static analysis on this component before debugging the initial Windows PE Executable file IMG0457600xls.exe. Loading it in dnSpy, we could see valuable information about it. The DLL filename was Svcwmhdn.dll. It was also obfuscated using Smart Assembly. We used the de4dot tool to de-obfuscate and unpack the DLL component to make it easier to analyze. Once it was de-obfuscated and unpacked, it gave us a clue that part of the payload was also obfuscated by FodyCostura. Figure 7. File information of Svcwmhdn.dll Figure 8. FodyCostura embedded resources Malware in action Layers of Obfuscation After getting clues with our static analysis, we debugged the malware components. We begin our analysis from the point when the DLL is loaded into memory. At the start of its execution, it will decompress two resources before starting the actual malicious behavior. It uses the AES algorithm to decrypt both resources. It will first decrypt the resource tagged as 0235d35d-030c-4d50-b46a-055fbb9ab683. This resource contains the strings the malware uses. Next, it will decrypt 8569c651-a5ff-4d2e-8dd8-aaa0f6904365. It is another Windows PE component, which will be loaded in memory. If the decryption fails, the DLL will try to drop a copy of the component and load it into memory via the LoadFile method. Figure 9. The 2 encrypted resources Figures 10.1 and 10.2. Decryption method with the AES key and IV, and aesCryptoServiceProvider Figure 11. Excerpt code of the decryption of one of the resources Checking the information if we try to force it to drop the content, it is another executable component. It contains resources that were compressed using FodyCostura as seen in our static analysis in Figure 8. It has several resources to decompress. One of them is the Protobuf-net module. These resources were also decrypted and then decompressed. Take note of the resource named  _._.resources 141363 bytes, Embedded, Public which has a child resource Jhufjcjrbgyyuktdl as this will be accessed later. Figure 12. Decompression code for FodyCostura embedded resources After the layers of obfuscation and related initializations, we will now move at the start of the malware. The method Dnypiempvyffgdjjm is where the main malware routine is located. At the start, it will initialize its settings. By looking at Figure 14, we can see the list of the possible actions it can take. Most of the settings were set to false. And by just analyzing it, we can assume that this malware only supports 32bit Operating Systems and will inject a payload in MSBuild. Figure 13. Start of the main routine Figure 14. Settings of the malware Evasion Aside from the 23 second delay set to evade sandboxes, it also checks if the username of the machine is equal to JohnDoe or the computer namehostname is equal to HAL9TH. If found true, it will terminate the execution. These strings are related to Windows Defender emulator. Figure 15 shows the code for checking the usernamecomputer name. Each string is obfuscated and will be fetched from the decrypted resource 0235d35d-030c-4d50-b46a-055fbb9ab683. It will compute for the offset of the string by XORing the input integer and then subtracting 0xA6. The first byte of the located offset is the string size followed by the encoded string. The encoded string is then decoded using B64 algorithm. This approach of retrieving the string is used throughout the malware. Figure 15. Excerpt code for the checking of username and computer namehostname Final Fileless Payload Based on the settings, we assumed that it will inject an executable payload in MSBUILD.exe. So before it can proceed with the injection, it will need to retrieve the necessary API. Figure 18 shows the code that will try to dynamically resolve the APIs. The approach to retrieve the string is the same as mentioned earlier. The difference is that the API encoded strings have an  character randomly inserted. It needs to remove the  character before proceeding to use the B64 algorithm to decode it. Take a look at the example in the chart below. First, it will get the corresponding DLL where it will import the API. In this example, it is kernel32. Then it will retrieve the API string. After decoding the string using the same approach decoding the DLL string, it will be equal to  UmVzdW1lVGhyZWFk. It will then remove the  char before proceeding to decoding the string using B64 again.The final output will be equal to the API string ResumeThread. It will dynamically resolve a few more APIs. These APIs will be used in its process injection routine. DLL API kernel32.dll ResumeThread kernel32.dll Wow64SetThreadContext kernel32.dll SetThreadContext kernel32.dll GetThreadContext kernel32.dll VirtualAllocEx kernel32.dll WriteProcessMemory ntdll.dll ZwUnmapViewOfSection kernel32.dll CreateProcessA kernel32.dll CloseHandle kernel32.dll ReadProcessMemory Table 17. List of APIs Figure 18. The first API to be dynamically resolved is ResumeThread, imported from kernel32.dll At this point, it just needs the payload it will inject to MSBuild.exe. It hides the payload in the resource named Jhufjcjrbgyyuktdl. The data is reversed and then unpacked using GZIP. The file is a copy of a Formbook malware. We detect this file as W32Formbook.F.gen!Eldorado. Figure 19. Start of the injection code. The fileless payload Svcwmhdn.dll was created using Purecrypter. It is advertised as a file protector and available for sale. And as seen in the GUI interface, these options were available in the settings in Figure 14. Figure 20.

Input: Search Free Trial Get Demo Construction Industry Security Threatened by Weak Links April 20, 2018 Remember the big Target breach in 2013, when 40 million credit and debit cards and as many as 110 million email addresses stolen? It cost Target 292 million according to their annual report, led to 80 lawsuits which took four years to resolve, and cost the CEO his job. Subsequent analysis eventually pointed the finger at weak email security at a vendor among Targets many store construction and maintenance providers, specifically a regional HVAC company whose name is known and who received a lot of negative attention from the press. The hack began with an employee at the small firm who received an email which was not blocked by the existing email security, and was induced to open the attachment  which contained malware that captured locally stored system passwords, including access to certain Target systems. Smaller firms are the most common point of entry If you read the news, you may be under the impression that criminal hacks are focused solely on major firms, but the truth is that the majority of successful attacks on businesses target SMBs and mid-market firms. According to a 2017 study by the Ponemon Institute, 56 of large breaches were shown to be the result of an initial attack at a third-party partner or supplier. Since construction and infrastructure-related businesses are always embedded in a complex, diverse set of relationships  the many moving parts necessary to make new homes happen, buildings spring up, and roads appearthe construction industry is particularly prone to this problem of collective risk, where security is essentially only as good as the weakest link in the supply chain. A construction firm may be working with a high-profile property management company. An HVAC or electrical vendor could be working with a civil engineering company, who is in turn working with a large, high-profile corporation to build new office space. All of these businesses could be connected to a recognized financial institution as part of the construction investment and lending deal. These supply chain connections put construction-related businesses in the cybercriminals crosshairs, simply because these firms are going to possess or have access to privileged information about the other interconnected organizations. That information could take the form of trusted access into a customers IT networks and portals, or financial transaction data connected to the banking institution managing the construction loan, or be something as seemingly insignificant as email addresses for the various investors in a construction deal. Regardless of the type of information in the firms possession, it is all valuable to the hacker. But even in the absence of the big score, keep in mind that it is easy today for hackers to monetize even modest amounts of data, with informationally liquid black market buyers able to buy and put data stolen from one source together with data from other sources, completing a picture and enabling valuable, tailored phishing campaigns, for example. So even modest amounts of data from smaller firms have utility and value in the marketplace. Small and mid-sized companies are over 50 of hacks And, research bears out the fact that, as far as cybercriminals are concerned, small- to mid-sized suppliers of materials and services are currently highly targeted. The 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report also shows that smaller businesses are more likely to be the target of cybercrime 58 of the time. Its a dynamic which certainly crosses industry lines. The massive 2014 hack into Home Depot resulting in 56 million stolen credit and debit card details, was attributed to a third-party vendor, as were the hacks into Amazon Web Services and Wendys, as well as the so-called Panama Papers breach. Phishing is currently the 1 threat Looking at these supply chain breaches, the majority of them result from a phishing attempt via emailnot surprising considering that phishing was the most successful type of attack on all businesses in 2017, according to the annual Cyren-Osterman Research survey. In the case of a construction-related business, once inside, the hackers perform reconnaissance and map the network. They steal user names and passwords they obtain both internal and customer email addresses they collect social security numbers and birthdates for the employees. They may even be after more focused information, such as building blueprint plans, electrical schematics, or building access or security guard details. Free security tool led to Target breach The malicious email at the source of the highly destructive Target breach probably would have been blocked had the HVAC vendor been using an effective email security service. As it was, reports suggest that the HVAC vendor was using a freebie security toolthat did not include real-time updatesto protect its entire system, including access to all the passwords and portals for its various large clients. Free downloadable security tools are designed for individual consumers, and do not offer the type of protection businesses need. Consumers simply arent targeted with the same intensity as supply-chain businesses. New threats are appearing constantly, and, once a threat has been launched, you only have seconds to block it. Construction supply company loses data and a week of work In 2015, an employee at a mid-sized concrete manufacturer clicked on an email attachment containing ransomware, which then installed itself on the employees computer. From there, the Cryptowall ransomware spread throughout the company, encrypting every system, from production to accounting and invoicing. The manufacturing and delivery of concrete to active construction sites came to a halt for several days. In an effort to get production up and running again, the company paid the ransom and then reportedly hired external consultants to clean the corporate networks. A week into the clean-up and recovery process, the company was still not back at full production capacity. And, unfortunately, in the end, some of the data was never recovered. Construction and building trades businesses are heavily reliant on project and production schedules to ensure profitability and customer satisfaction. It only takes one ransomware or phishing attack to have a detrimental effect on an entire construction project, including work shut down and potentially significant delays in the delivery schedule, leading to financial consequences, including a reduction in fees or fines for delayed delivery. Be prepared As suggested earlier, security is only as good as the weakest link. And the construction supply chain is only growing bigger and more complex. No business connected to the industry wants to be at the center of a major data breach with national or global implications. Fortunately, several construction industry organizations recognize this and have implemented security as part of their key and critical member messaging. For example, this years Associated General Contractors AGC IT Forum will include security as part of its primary agenda topics. Ultimately, construction-related businesses need to view cyberattacks as a critical business risk, not unlike regulatory compliance or financial risk. As such, web and email security need to be a key component of a business risk plan.
