Cado Security Labs (now part of Darktrace) identified Triton RAT, a Python-based open-source tool controlled via Telegram.

Cado Security Labs (now part of Darktrace) identified a malware campaign targeting the Royal Thai Police, attributed to Chinese APT group Mustang Panda. The campaign uses a disguised LNK file and PDF decoy to deliver the Yokai backdoor.

Cado Security (now a part of Darktrace) found attackers are abusing Cloudflare's WARP service, a free VPN, to launch attacks. WARP traffic often bypasses firewalls due to Cloudflare's trusted status, making it harder to detect. Campaigns like "SSWW" cryptojacking and SSH brute-forcing exploit this trust, highlighting a significant security risk for organizations.

P2Pinfect, a sophisticated Rust-based malware, has evolved from a dormant spreading botnet to actively deploying ransomware and a cryptominer, primarily infecting Redis servers and using a P2P C2. The updated version includes a user-mode rootkit, but its ransomware impact is limited by the low privileges often associated with Redis.

Cerber ransomware's Linux variant is actively exploiting CVE-2023-22518 in Confluence servers. It uses three UPX-packed C++ payloads: a primary stager, a log checker for environment assessment, and an encryptor that renames files with a .L0CK3D extension.

Cado Security Labs uncovered a new campaign targeting vulnerable Docker services. Attackers deploy XMRig miners and the 9hits viewer application to generate credits. This campaign highlights attackers' evolving monetization strategies and the ongoing vulnerability of exposed Docker hosts.

Cado Security Labs discovered a new cryptomining campaign exploiting exposed Jupyter Notebooks on Windows and Linux. The attack deploys UPX-packed binaries that decrypt and execute a cryptominer, targeting various cryptocurrencies.

Cado researchers detected a typosquatting domain mimicking their corporate site, part of a broader campaign targeting tech companies. The malicious domain redirected to the legitimate one, and an accompanying fake X (Twitter) account was created. Cado took swift action, informing staff, blocking emails, and reporting the domain for suspension.

Cado Security labs researchers (now part of Darktrace) encountered a Linux malware campaign, "Spinning YARN," that targets Docker, Apache Hadoop, Redis, and Confluence. This campaign exploits vulnerabilities in these widely used platforms to gain access.

A new P2Pinfect variant compiled for the Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipelined Stages (MIPS) architecture has been discovered. This demonstrates increased targeting of routers, Internet of Things (IoT) and other embedded devices by those behind P2Pinfect.

OracleIV is a DDoS botnet exploiting misconfigured Docker Engine APIs. It delivers a malicious Python ELF executable within a Docker container ("oracleiv_latest") to perform various DoS attacks. The botnet communicates with a C2 server for commands, demonstrating attackers' continued use of exposed Docker instances.

Qubitstrike is an emerging cryptojacking campaign primarily targeting exposed Jupyter Notebooks that exfiltrates cloud credentials, mines XMRig, and employs persistence mechanisms. The malware utilizes Discord for C2, displaying compromised host information and enabling command execution, file transfer, and process hiding via the Diamorphine rootkit.

Cryptojacking attacks are rising as threat actors exploit hard-to-detect cryptomining malware. Learn how Darktrace detected and contained a cryptojacking attempt in its early stages using Autonomous Response, with expert analysis of the malware itself revealing insights into a novel cryptomining strain.

Darktrace identified coordinated SaaS account compromises across multiple customer environments. The incidents involved suspicious logins from VPS-linked infrastructure followed by unauthorized inbox rule creation and deletion of phishing-related emails. These consistent behaviors across devices point to a targeted phishing campaign leveraging virtual infrastructure for access and concealment. Discover how Darktrace uncovered this activity and what it means for the future of SaaS security.

This blog outlines a real-world attack where threat actors exploited Fortinet SSL-VPN vulnerabilities to infiltrate a network. It highlights how Darktrace identified threat and took immediate actions to contain it, demonstrating the importance of proactive detection and rapid intervention in minimizing risk and disruption.

The importance of cloud investigation and incident response are compounded by an expanded attack surface in the cloud, lack of advanced tooling to upskill teams, and increasing regulatory pressure from compliance regulations.
