#Adversary: #Adversarial #Attacks #Command #Control: WIP26 Espionage | Threat Actors Abuse Cloud Infrastructure in Targeted Telco Attacks: https://lnkd.in/gEW5ufN5 : #Cloud #Infrastructure #Telecommunications #Attack #Vectors #WhatsApp #Dropbox #Malware #MS365 #Azure #Google #Codebase
The WIP26 activity is initiated by precision targeting of employees through WhatsApp messages that contain Dropbox links to a malware loader. Tricking employees into downloading and executing the loader ultimately leads to the deployment of #backdoors that leverage Microsoft 365 Mail and Google Firebase instances as C2 servers. We refer to these backdoors as CMD365 and CMDEmber, respectively. The main functionality of CMD365 and CMDEmber is to execute attacker-provided system commands using the Windows command interpreter.
The use of public #Cloud #infrastructure for #C2 purposes is an attempt to make malicious C2 network traffic look legitimate and therefore make #detection harder for defenders. The CMD365 and CMDEmber samples we observed #masquerade as utility software, such as a PDF editor or browser, and as software that conducts update operations. The masquerading attempt involves the use of filenames, application icons, and digital signatures that indicate existing software vendors.
