🚨 1/ Ongoing campaign primarily targeting security researchers here on Twitter.

Possibly they are trying to exploit some vulnerability in Internet Explorer and database tools like Navicat. I haven't been able to get the malicious payload yet, but something fishy is going on 🤔 ImageImageImageImage
2/ Tweets mention things like #0day, #databreach, #Kimsuky, #Lazarus and point to a file download on pan[.]baidu[.]com, just now removed.

There is also a repo on Github with connection data and credentials to supposed DBs and Web Apps that ask to use IE 🤭 ImageImageImageImage
3/ I tried 211.143.190.233:2222, at first glance harmless, but in the code we see that it points to a rather suspicious .JS.

When we deofuscate and clean, a hidden URL appears that could load the next stage, however I could not get it (maybe geofenced or some other trick). ImageImageImageImage
4/ All the sites ask to use Internet Explorer to operate and I have only seen these messages in Chinese 🇨🇳

I noticed this campaign almost 1 month ago and it is still active and adding new resources.... interesting.

ImageImage
5/ As I was writing here more tweets appeared from the account "conTao621399", possibly this is a campaign targeting Chinese security researchers (?), or at least at this time. ImageImage
6/ IoCs I have seen so far:

168.100.10.177:443
168.100.10.177:8443
211.143.190.233:1443
211.143.190.233:4443
211.143.190.233:8443
211.143.190.233:2222
8.2.2.18:27017
41.1.1.1

Stay safe and any additional info on this would be appreciated.

1/ Part of the script used by #TA569 (Initial Access Broker) to inject the Keitaro TDS code into compromised sites 🚩

In this variant, if the IP is correct and the red_ok cookie is not declared, the injection is shown and the infection flow continues until #SocGholish or others. ImageImageImage
2/ Two #KeitaroTDS domains in use by #TA569:
- jqueryns[.]com
- jqscr[.]com "new"

In the IP of the latter there is also the domain jqueryj[.]com with a panel that at first sight I cannot recognize 🧐 but is some kind of bot/stealer/clipper, very likely related. / @ViriBack ImageImageImageImage
3/ To get an idea of the scope, if we search on publicwww for the domain "jqueryns[.]com" we get 2196 infected sites, for the domain "jqscr[.]com" we get another 196 compromised sites so far.

- publicwww.com/websites/%22jq…
- publicwww.com/websites/%22jq…

More results in Google too 🤦‍♂️ ImageImageImageImage

1/ Entonces, "kung_liao" un nuevo actor de amenazas logró acceso y expuso información privada de varias empresas Chilenas 🇨🇱

1) DIGITALPROSERVER.COM | 21/01/23
2) TESORERIA.CL | 03/02/23
3) CMFCHILE.CL | 12/02/23
4) ARKAVIA.COM | 15/02/23
2/ Para DIGITALPROSERVER.COM, el atacante indica que vende acceso a más de 500 DBs y sitios que incluyen importantes medios digitales, noticieros, radios, etc.

Como muestra, el atacante publicó credenciales y una de las Webshell que tenía instalada en El Mostrador (reportado)
3/ Para TESORERIA.CL, el atacante al parecer explotó una vulnerabilidad de Inyección SQL y además obtuvo acceso a la Intranet a través de la VPN.

Una de las evidencias muestra al atacante modificando información personal de una persona de apellido "Piñera Echenique".

1/ DEV-0569, current distribution via #GoogleAds.

1.- #Gozi aka #Ursnif (bot) ↓
2.- #RedLine (stealer) ↓
And if the conditions are right, possibly:
3.- #CobaltStrike (C2) ↓
4.- #Royal Ransomware 💥

(No more BatLoader in the infection chain)
2/ For deployment, they use Add-MpPreference to configure exclusions in Windows Defender (extensions, paths and processes), #NSudo to launch binaries with full privileges and #GnuPG to encrypt the payloads.

Initial MSI file has 0 hits in VT.
3/ All payloads are hosted on @Bitbucket, in a repository that was created in August 2022.

In just 3 days, #Gozi and #RedLine have been downloaded 2477 and 2503 times respectively.

ZLocal.gpg has been downloaded more than 48193 times since December 24, 2022 (potential victims).

1/ So, site impersonating @Fortinet downloads signed MSI that uses Powershell to run #BatLoader, if the user is connected to a domain (corporate network) it deploys:

1) #Ursnif (Bot)
2) #Vidar (Stealer)
3) #Syncro RMM (C2)
4) #CobaltStrike
And possibly
5) #Ransomware 💥 ImageImageImageImage
2/ For initial deployment they use NirCmd, NSudo and GnuPG (to encrypt payloads) among other utilities.

* Remove-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AMSI\Providers\{2781761E-28E0-4109-99FE-B9D127C57AFE}" -Recurse
* Remove-Encryption -FolderPath $env:APPDATA -Password '105b' ImageImageImageImage
3/ The websites are boosted through SEO poisoning and impersonate brands such as @Zoom, @TeamViewer, @anydesk, @LogMeIn, @CCleaner, #FileZilla and #Winrar among others.
