Geopolitik und Hacktivismus als ein Trend der Cyberkriminalität
Bitdefender hat eine Analyse von Ransomware-Angriffen auf Unternehmen im südkoreanischen Finanzmarkt vorgestellt. Urheber der Angriffe ist die normalerweise wirtschaftlich motiviert agierende Ransomware-as-a-Service-Gruppe Qilin. Möglicherweise arbeitete Qilin diesmal mit Moonstone Sleet, einer Gruppe aus Nordkorea mit Regierungshintergrund, zusammen. Die Angreifer gingen dabei den Weg über die Supply-Chain und nutzen Schwachstellen von Serviceanbietern als Eintrittstor für ihre…

Piecing Together the Puzzle: A Qilin Ransomware Investigation
Huntress analysts reconstructed a Qilin ransomware attack from a single endpoint, using limited logs to reveal rogue ScreenConnect access, failed infostealer attempts, and the ransomware execution path. The investigation shows how validating multiple data sources can uncover activity even when visibility is reduced to a “pinhole.” First seen on bleepingcomputer.com Jump to article: www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/piecing-together-the-puzzle-a-qilin-ransomware-investigation/

Ransomware gangs seize a new hostage: your AWS S3 buckets
Tags: access, backup, breach, business, cloud, control, credentials, cryptography, data, encryption, exploit, least-privilege, monitoring, network, ransomware, supply-chainWeaponizing cloud encryption and key management: Trend Micro has identified five S3 ransomware variants that increasingly exploit AWS’s built-in encryption paths. One abuses default AWS-managed KMS keys (SSE-KMS) by encrypting data with an attacker-created key and scheduling that key for deletion. Another uses customer-provided keys (SSE-C), where AWS has no copy, making recovery impossible. The…
