AUSCERT: What to Expect in 2021 Membership matters – optimising and elevating our services As we bid goodbye to our members at the end of last year, we delivered a sneak preview of what the team hopes to achieve in the new year. While there are doubtless many unknowns awaiting us in 2021, here are some key issues on the AUSCERT agenda:  IMAGE: AUSCERT Strategic Plans 2021   Expand and enhance our delivery of threat intelligence   As a team, we aim to form and publish a Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) strategy document to help us align with our members’ needs – and in tandem with developing this CTI strategy – our goal is to also publish IoCs to members in STIX format.   To complement this initiative, our team is looking to introduce some enhanced functionalities on the AUSCERT Member Portal; such as an Incident Portal with file upload facility which includes analysis and feedback.  The team is aiming to rebrand, reinvigorate and relaunch the CAUDIT-ISAC initiative as “The AHECS-ISAC, powered by AUSCERT”.   And last but not least, in tandem with the CTI strategy and CAUDIT-ISAC relaunch, the team aims to launch MISP access for all members.  Remain a trusted incident response partner, both locally and globally   As a team, we aim to broaden our incident response capability with consistent training and drills – especially through our strong relationship with the APCERT community as witnessed in 2020, 2019 and in previous years; as well as maintain our standing within the worldwide CERT community through FIRST.   Continue to foster a strong relationship with the local Australian cyber security sector “key players”; especially the ASD via Australian Cyber Security Centre, AustCyber and IDCare et. al.   Consistent and useful engagement with our members   As a team, we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of our annual cyber security conference; Australia’s oldest and premier cyber security conference. The AUSCERT2021 conference theme will be “SOARing with cyber” and this annual event provides our members with the optimum opportunity for professional development and upskilling.  AUSCERT will continue to maintain, uphold and explore State-government memberships.   The team will aim to increase the number of blog articles and publications targeting senior to mid-level members.   And last but not least, the AUSCERT team will focus on continuous improvements across all membership services.  The cyber security landscape is ever-changing, and AUSCERT continues to be passionate about engaging our members to empower your people, capabilities and capacities.

AUSCERT Week in Review for 08th January 2021 Greetings, Welcome to 2021. We hope all our readers enjoyed a well-deserved break over the Christmas and New Year period.

Stay safe and let’s remember to keep washing our hands and practise those good Covid-safe habits. Set up your own malware analysis pipeline with Karton – CERT Polska Date: 2020-12-30 Author: CERT Polska [CERT Polska is a fellow member of the international forum of response teams – FIRST – and is the first Polish computer emergency response team.] What is Karton? Karton is a robust framework for lightweight and flexible analysis backends. It can be used to connect malware analysis systems into a robust pipeline with very little effort. CISA Releases Free Detection Tool for Azure/M365 Environment Date: 2020-12-24 Author: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) CISA has created a free tool for detecting unusual and potentially malicious activity that threatens users and applications in an Azure/Microsoft O365 environment. The tool is intended for use by incident responders and is narrowly focused on activity that is endemic to the recent identity- and authentication-based attacks seen in multiple sectors. China’s APT hackers move to ransomware attacks Date: 2021-01-04 Author: Bleeping Computer Security researchers investigating a set of ransomware incidents at multiple companies discovered malware indicating that the attacks may be the work of a hacker group believed to operate on behalf of China. Although the attacks lack the sophistication normally seen with advanced threat actors, there is strong evidence linking them to APT27, a group normally involved in cyber espionage campaigns, also known as TG-3390, Emissary Panda, BRONZE UNION, Iron Tiger, and LuckyMouse. ANU uses new security capabilities to help other Unis fend off attacks Date: 2021-01-05 Author: iTnews The Australian National University says it has been able to help other unnamed universities “fend off attacks” using new capabilities it set up in the early part of a five-year information security program. The program, described at a high level in a parliamentary submission released at the end of last year, comes after ANU was targeted by an advanced persistent threat (APT) actor that led to two data breaches. Beware: PayPal phishing texts state your account is ‘limited’ Date: 2021-01-03 Author: Bleeping Computer A PayPal text message phishing campaign is underway that attempts to steal your account credentials and other sensitive information that can be used for identity theft. When PayPal detects suspicious or fraudulent activity on an account, the account will have its status set to “limited,” which will put temporary restrictions on withdrawing, sending, or receiving money. WhatsApp: Share your data with Facebook or delete your account Date: 2021-01-06 Author: Bleeping Computer After WhatsApp updated its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service on Monday with additional info on how it handles users’ data, the company is now notifying users through the mobile app that, starting February, they will be required to share their data with Facebook.

AUSCERT Week in Review for 24th December 2020 Greetings, This week the SolarWinds attack continues to make headlines. A reminder to check out our blog on the topic “Sunburst – FireEye’s Discovery of Trojanised SolarWinds Software”. We will continue to update this with any important developments. With that said, it comes as no surprise to everyone that 2020 has been a particularly challenging year. As the year comes to an end, we would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. In a year where the basic tenets of the working world changed, YOU (our members) helped us get through it. We would like to share our reflections on the year through the following piece we wrote “The Year that was 2020”. A reminder of our scheduled shutdown over the Christmas and New Year period: Membership Will be closed from Saturday 19th of December until Sunday 3rd of January 2021. We will reopen on Monday, 4th of January 2021. Operations Will be closed from Friday 25th of December until Sunday 3rd of January 2021. We will reopen on Monday, 4th of January 2021. The auscert@auscert.org.au mailbox will not be monitored during this period. However, we will staff the 24/7 member incident hotline as usual; so do call us for any urgent matters during this period. And last but not least, don’t forget – our AUSCERT2021 Call for Papers initiative is still open over the holiday season. Perhaps some writing to help break up the routine? Help us celebrate the 20th anniversary of Australia’s original and oldest information security conference. Until next year folks. Have a wonderful and very well deserved break over the holiday season, you have all earned it. Stay safe and let’s remember to keep washing our hands and practice those good Covid-safe habits! NSW Health, Rio Tinto, Serco named as victims of massive global SolarWinds hack attack Date: 2020-12-23 Author: ABC News NSW Health has been named in a growing list of victims of a major global cyber attack by Russian hackers — although it says patient information was not stolen. Key points: – Australian organisations were named in a list of potential victims of a global attack by Russian hackers – Dubbed the ‘SolarWinds’ attack, it has infected thousands of systems worldwide with malware – NSW Health may have been infected since June But while the health agency says its system was not “compromised”, cybersecurity experts said it appeared to be infected with malware. In a worst-case scenario, this could have allowed the hackers to escalate the attack and steal information. Cyber security left out of cabinet reshuffle Date: 2020-12-18 Author: iTnews Prime Minister Scott Morrison has not appointed a dedicated minister for cyber security in Friday’s cabinet reshuffle. Last month, The Australian reported that Morrison planned to create a cyber security role in his cabinet that would be added to the Home Affairs­ portfolio. There were no changes made to the Home Affairs portfolio in today’s announcement, meaning Home Affairs minister Peter Dutton will retain responsibility for Australia’s cyber security policy and coordination. The Cybersecurity Stories We Were Jealous of in 2020 Date: 2020-12-22 Author: Vice Motherboard The end of the year is usually a good time for retrospection and one of our favorite traditions: digging into the archives and recognizing the best cybersecurity stories of the year. Stories so good, we wish we had written them ourselves. Without further ado, here’s the annual Motherboard’s Cyber Jealousy list. 2020: The year in malware Date: 2020-12-21 Author: Cisco Talos To recap this crazy year, we’ve compiled a list of the major malware, security news and more that Talos covered this year. Look through the timeline below and click through some of our other blog posts to get caught up on the year that was in malware. Apple: Here’s how to secure an iPhone or Apple ID ‘when personal safety is at risk’ Date: 2020-12-19 Author: ZDNet [Stalking is a crime in all states and territories in Australia. If you’re spending time with family and friends over the holidays and believe they might be victims of cyber-stalking, this guide may be of use.] This document highlights the steps that an Apple user can work through if they believe that their Apple ID has been compromised, or they want to rescind someone’s access to information that they previously allowed to have access, such as an ex or a family member. ESB-2020.4513 – Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage 4.6.0 security, bug fix, enhancement update Whilst only marked as moderate by Red Hat this advisory contained a whopping 121 CVEs, the most major of which included RCE.

Sunburst – FireEye’s Discovery of Trojanised SolarWinds Software Image: SUNBURST Malware Sunburst – FireEye’s Discovery of Trojanised SolarWinds Software Update: 21:30 AEST December 20 2020 Update: 21:30 AEST December 19 2020 Update: 10:00 AEST December 18 2020 Update: 22:30 AEST December 15 2020 Update: 15:00 AEST December 15 2020Update: 14:00 AEST December 15 2020 Initial Publication : 09:00 AEST December 15 2020     Update (21:30 AEST 20-12-2020) US-CERT CISA announces [14] and made available, at the time of writing, an update to their advisory [12] which “… provides new mitigation guidance and revises the indicators of compromise table…” [14].  The emergency directive from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also updated their directive to include supplementary guidance.[15]   Update (21:30 AEST 19-12-2020) It has been confirmed that at the moment of writing of this update, the US-CERT CISA advisory, that was public as at (10:00 AEST 18-12-2020) is now returning “Access Denied”. As it was a public advisory at that time it may be possible to find a copy of this advisory, whilst it is still available, in archives[13].   Update (10:00 AEST 18-12-2020) SolarWinds states that Orion was their only product affected by the breach [10].  Also recently a joint statement was released by the U.S. Government [11] that heralds actions and updates from US-CERT CISA about the events surrounding and leverage of the SolarWinds Orion breach and recommended mitigation steps [12].   Update (22:30 AEST 15-12-2020) Additional IoC and TTP information from research organisations Volexity[9]   Update (15:00 AEST 15-12-2020)The headline of an earlier version of this article incorrectly attributed the vulnerable software to FireEye. FireEye is a third-party research firm. We apologise for any confusions caused by our initial publication. A new subject headline is now in place to better reflect the incident.  Update (14:00 AEST 15-12-2020) A set of IoCs have been published by Talos[7] and the number of affected clients is expected to be “fewer than 18,000” world wide according to the SEC filing of the incident[8]. The hotfix is expected to be made available “on or prior to 15th December 2020” [8] (date and time as per U.S.A. time zone)   Initial (09:00 AEST 15-12-2020) Introduction: FireEye has discovered a supply chain attack against SolarWinds which has resulted in trojanised versions of SolarWinds Orion being distributed. These trojanised versions, being distributed through their supply chain, meant that the code was correctly signed.   Multiple trojanised updates were digitally signed from March to May 2020 and posted to the SolarWinds Orion updates website, including those listed here: hxxps://downloads.solarwinds[.]com/solarwinds/CatalogResources/Core/2019.4/2019.4.5220.20574/SolarWinds-Core-v2019.4.5220-Hotfix5.msp [1]   The trojanised version of the update has remained dormant for 2 weeks and FireEye has released counter measures [2] as malicious activity can now be traced with the following released IoC. [3]   RECOMMENDED ACTION: It is highly advised that the advisories from FireEye[1] and SolarWinds[6] be reviewed where actionable steps to detect and protect your network are suggested.   This includes the following steps:   1. It is highly recommended to download the latest software of SolarWinds Orion and apply the relevant version.   2. If you are a SolarWinds Orion client, please check the downloading of any updates between the months of March to May 2020.   3. If at all possible and relevant, apply detection rules released by FireEye to determine whether or not malicious activity is currently in your network.   4. If at all possible, check network logs for Indicators of Compromise (IoC) for any signs of activity that may have occurred in your network.   The US-CERT has notified members of the public about the current issue via a briefing document [4] and the media is also focusing and disseminating information on this event swiftly. [5]   For AUSCERT’s constituents using AUSCERT managed MISP the list of IoCs have been published on December 14. AUSCERT is currently contacting its constituents about possible installations of SolarWinds Orion on their network perimeter(s).      [1] Highly Evasive Attacker Leverages SolarWinds Supply Chain to Compromise Multiple Global Victims With SUNBURST Backdoor https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2020/12/evasive-attacker-leverages-solarwinds-supply-chain-compromises-with-sunburst-backdoor.html [2] Github – Fireeye – Sunburst countermeasures https://github.com/fireeye/sunburst_countermeasures [3] Github – Fireeye – Sunburst IoC https://github.com/fireeye/sunburst_countermeasures/tree/main/indicator_release [4] US-CERT CISA Active Exploitation of SolarWinds Software https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/current-activity/2020/12/13/active-exploitation-solarwinds-software [5] Bleeping Computer – US govt, FireEye breached after SolarWinds supply-chain attack https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/us-govt-fireeye-breached-after-solarwinds-supply-chain-attack/ [6] SolarWinds Security Advisory https://www.solarwinds.com/securityadvisory [7] Threat Advisory: SolarWinds supply chain attack https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2020/12/solarwinds-supplychain-coverage.html  [8] US-SEC – CURRENT REPORT – SOLARWINDS CORPORATION (001-38711) https://sec.report/Document/0001628280-20-017451/  [9] Dark Halo Leverages SolarWinds Compromise to Breach Organizations https://www.volexity.com/blog/2020/12/14/dark-halo-leverages-solarwinds-compromise-to-breach-organizations/  [10] SolarWinds said no other products were compromised in recent hack https://www.zdnet.com/article/solarwinds-said-no-other-products-were-compromised-in-recent-hack/ [11] Joint Statement by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/joint-statement-by-the-federal-bureau-of-investigation-fbi-the-cybersecurity-and-infrastructure-security-agency-cisa-and-the-office-of-the-director-of-national-intelligence-odni [12] Advanced Persistent Threat Compromise of Government Agencies, Critical Infrastructure, and Private Sector Organizations https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa20-352a  [13] Internet Archives – Wayback Machine https://archive.org/ [14] CISA Updates Alert and Releases Supplemental Guidance on Emergency Directive for SolarWinds Orion Compromise https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/current-activity/2020/12/19/cisa-updates-alert-and-releases-supplemental-guidance-emergency [15] Emergency Directive 21-01 https://cyber.dhs.gov/ed/21-01/#supplemental-guidance 

AUSCERT Week in Review for 18th December 2020 Greetings, This week saw the sector abuzz with the news regarding FireEye’s Discovery of the Trojanised SolarWinds Software (aka “Sunburst” malware). Our team has blogged about this trending topic here. Please revisit the blog periodically as updates do get posted as relevant. This holiday season, many of us will be purchasing gifts for loved ones online. This is a timely reminder to be wary of online shopping scams and increased exploitation by cyber criminals. We’d like to take this opportunity to re-share the following “Don’t give too much away this Christmas!” article. A reminder of our scheduled shutdown over the Christmas and New Year period: Membership – will be closed from Saturday 19th of December until Sunday 3rd of January 2021. We will reopen on Monday, 4th of January 2021. Operations – will be closed from Friday 25th of December until Sunday 3rd of January 2021. We will reopen on Monday, 4th of January 2021. The auscert@auscert.org.au mailbox will not be monitored during this period. However, we will staff the 24/7 member incident hotline as usual; so do call us for any urgent matters during this period. And last but not least, don’t forget – our AUSCERT2021 Call for Papers initiative is still open over the holiday season. Perhaps some writing to help break up the routine? Help us celebrate the 20th anniversary of Australia’s original and oldest information security conference. Until next week, have a wonderful and restful weekend. Stay safe and let’s remember to keep washing our hands and practise those good Covid-safe habits! Highly Evasive Attacker Leverages SolarWinds Supply Chain to Compromise Multiple Global Victims With SUNBURST Backdoor Date: None Author: FireEye Inc FireEye has uncovered a widespread campaign, that we are tracking as UNC2452. The actors behind this campaign gained access to numerous public and private organizations around the world. They gained access to victims via trojanized updates to SolarWind’s Orion IT monitoring and management software. This campaign may have begun as early as Spring 2020 and is currently ongoing. Post compromise activity following this supply chain compromise has included lateral movement and data theft. The campaign is the work of a highly skilled actor and the operation was conducted with significant operational security. Healthcare security woes: More than 45 million medical images openly accessible online Date: None Author: The Daily Swig Millions of medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are available unsecured on the open web, an investigation by threat intelligence firm CybelAngel has revealed. The research team says it found unprotected connected storage devices with ties to hospitals and medical centers worldwide that were leaking more than 45 million unique imaging files. “It’s important to remember that no hacking tools were used,” David Sygula, senior cybersecurity analyst at CybelAngel, told The Daily Swig. “Millions of images were unencrypted and could be accessed without password protection. “We were surprised to see the extent to which sensitive images were left unprotected, despite the regulations governing health data.” Academics turn RAM into Wi-Fi cards to steal data from air-gapped systems Date: None Author: ZDNet Academics from an Israeli university have published new research today detailing a technique to convert a RAM card into an impromptu wireless emitter and transmit sensitive data from inside a non-networked air-gapped computer that has no Wi-Fi card. Named AIR-FI, the technique is the work of Mordechai Guri, the head of R&D at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, in Israel. Over the last half-decade, Guri has led tens of research projects that investigated stealing data through unconventional methods from air-gapped systems. Scam bitcoin ads using unauthorised Australian celebrity images traced to Moscow addresses Date: None Author: The Guardian Scam bitcoin ads trading off unauthorised images of Dick Smith, Andrew Forrest and other celebrities, which have taken in tens of thousands of Australians, are part of a highly organised global business that uses five addresses in the centre of Moscow, a Guardian investigation has found. The sheer scale of the scam has made it difficult for Google to block them, and for Australian regulators to take action. The fake celebrity ads have run on news websites since at least 2018, but with people stuck at home during the Covid-19 pandemic, many more have been caught out by the scams. IDCare, a registered charity that offers support to people scammed online, has been hearing from a victim every business hour since March, its managing director told Guardian Australia. Service NSW finds cyber attack impacted 80,000 fewer customers Date: None Author: iTNews Service NSW has revised down the number of customers impacted by an email compromise attack against 47 staff members earlier this year, but not before wrongly notifying 25,000 people. In September, the one-stop shop for NSW government services revealed – after a four-month long investigation – that 186,000 customers had their information stolen by unknown attackers. The breach, which took place in March, exposed 736GB of data, encompassing 3.8 million documents such as handwritten notes, forms, scans and records of transaction applications. ESB-2020.4474 – Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities Thunderbird, Mozilla’s email client, was host to multiple vulnerabilities including remote code execution and denial of service. ESB-2020.4464 – Red Hat Fuse 7.8.0: Multiple vulnerabilities Contained a multitude of vulnerabilties including remote code execution, denial of service, cross-site scripting, privilege escalation, and unauthorised access to both confidential and privileged data. ESB-2020.4447 – Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities Popular browser contained multiple vulnerabilities which granted attackers abilities to execute remote code, cause denial of service, and have unauthorised access to confidential data. ESB-2020.4436 – Samba: Multiple vulnerabilities Samba was affected by vulnerabilities which prior to fix had provided unauthorised access, denial of service and Root compromise.

Microsoft December 2020 Patch Tuesday fixes 58 vulnerabilities Date: None Author: ZDNet [AUSCERT ASBs 2020-0216 through 224 relate to this Patch Tuesday, member portal login required. 217 and 219 are related to RCE vulnerabilities.] Microsoft has published today 58 security fixes across 10+ products and services, as part of the company’s monthly batch of security updates, known as Patch Tuesday. There’s a smaller number of fixes this December compared with the regular 100+ fixes that Microsoft ships each month, but this doesn’t mean the bugs are less severe. More than a third of this month’s patches (22) are classified as remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities. These are security bugs that need to be addressed right away as they are more easily exploitable, with no user interaction, either via the internet or from across a local network. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine docs hacked from European Medicines Agency Date: None Author: BBC News The European Medicines Agency (EMA) says it has been hit by a cyber-attack and documents relating to a Covid-19 vaccine have been accessed. BioNTech, which makes one of the vaccines in partnership with Pfizer, said its regulatory submission was accessed during the attack. The EMA is working on approval of two Covid-19 vaccines, which it expects to conclude within weeks. The cyber-attack was not expected to impact that timeline, BioNTech said. The EMA did not provide any details on the nature of the cyber-attack in a brief statement on its website, beyond saying a full investigation had been launched. A spokesperson for the agency said it was still “functional”. National interest plan could drive local cyber sector Date: None Author: InnovationAus The launch of an Australian national interest strategy could help propel the growth of the local cybersecurity sector and assist the economic recovery from COVID-19, according to AustCyber chief executive Michelle Price. Ms Price, along with Australian National University National Security College head Professor Rory Medcalf, delivered a National Press Club address on Wednesday on the need for a national interest strategy, and the crucial role cybersecurity will play in the coming years. There have been a number of government policies this year focused on national security and interest, Professor Medcalf said, and now a more cohesive strategy is needed around this. U.S. cybersecurity firm FireEye discloses breach, theft of internal hacking tools Date: None Author: Reuters FireEye, one of the largest cybersecurity companies in the United States, said on Tuesday that it has been hacked, possibly by a government, leading to the theft of an arsenal of internal hacking tools typically reserved to privately test the cyber defenses of their own clients. The hack of FireEye, a company with an array of business contracts across the national security space both in the United States and its allies, is among the most significant breaches in recent memory. Cyber attack could bring down entire financial system: IMF Date: None Author: Sydney Morning Herald The world’s financial system could collapse and create an economic downturn as disastrous as the coronavirus recession or the global financial crisis if growing fears of a devasting cyber-security hack are realised. Research from the International Monetary Fund released on Tuesday found the reliance of the financial system and consumers on digital services was increasingly at risk from cyber attacks that were being fuelled by falling prices for hacking tools and a target-rich environment. ESB-2020.4347 – Adobe Acrobat and Reader: Access confidential data – Remote with user interaction A vulnerability for multiple Adobe Acrobat products was patched. If successfully exploited it could lead to remote information disclosure. Adobe marked this as important. ASB-2020.0217 – ALERT Windows: Multiple vulnerabilities Microsoft patch Tuesday was this week and 23 vulnerabilities across Windows operating systems were patched. ASB-2020.0220 – Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Services and Web Apps: Multiple vulnerabilities Another Microsoft patch Tuesday release, 15 vulnerabilities were patched across the Microsoft Office suite of applications.

AUSCERT Week in Review for 4th December 2020 Greetings, It’s officially summer season here in Australia, we hope that everyone’s taking care of themselves as we embrace the change in weather. We would like to begin this week by commending our colleague Mal Parkinson who was a panel member on a session hosted by the by the Australian Women in Security Network (AWSN) for their AWSN Cadets “Security Sessions” initiative. The panel discussed the topic of “Life before Cyber Security, how did you start?” and we’ve summarised some key advice from this session via our LinkedIn page here. Some sage tips for all those wanting to move into the cyber security sector or are simply starting out as a new graduate. This week also saw us supporting the team from AustCyber as they launched the 2020 Update to Australia’s Cyber Security Competitiveness Plan (SCP). A copy of their media release can be found here. In summary, the launch and panel discussion events held by the team from AustCyber highlighted the plethora of start-ups and initiatives in the cyber security sector across the states and territories within Australia. The gamut of activities certainly places our country in a position to gain an outstanding posture on cyber security in the coming decade and beyond! Exciting times ahead for our sector. And last but not least, don’t forget – our AUSCERT2021 Call for Papers initiative is now open and will remain so until late January 2021. Help us celebrate the 20th anniversary of Australia’s original and oldest information security conference. Do you or someone you know have a great story to tell? We would like to hear it, help us spread the word on Cyber Security. Until next week, have a wonderful and restful weekend everyone. FBI warns of email forwarding rules being abused in recent hacks Date: 2020-12-01 Author: ZDNet The US Federal Bureau of Investigation says that cyber-criminals are increasingly relying on email forwarding rules in order to disguise their presence inside hacked email accounts. Threat actors absolutely love email auto-forwarding rules as they allow them to receive copies of all incoming emails without having to log into an account each day — and be at risk of triggering a security warning for a suspicious login. FBI officials say that the technique is still making victims in corporate environments because some companies don’t forcibly sync email settings for the web-based accounts with desktop clients. Threat actor leverages coin miner techniques to stay under the radar – here’s how to spot them Date: 2020-11-30 Author: Microsoft Security Blog The threat actor BISMUTH, which has been running increasingly complex targeted attacks, deployed coin miners in campaigns from July to August 2020. Learn how the group tried to stay under the radar using threats perceived to be less alarming. New rules to detect, trace and block scam calls Date: 2020-12-02 Author: The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) ACMA has today registered new rules that require telcos to detect, trace and block scam calls. The Reducing Scam Calls Code, developed by the telco industry, was a direct recommendation of the ACMA’s Combating Scams Action Plan. The ACMA has worked closely with telcos and peak body Communications Alliance to develop the new rules and successfully pilot initiatives to reduce the scale and impact on Australians of scam calls. Major telcos report blocking over 30 million scam calls across the last 12 months as they undertook work to trial the identification and reduction of scam calls. APRA targets cyber hygiene and board oversight with new security strategy Date: None Author: iTnews The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has unveiled a new cyber security strategy and flagged it will step up its review of current cyber compliance, holding boards accountable for shortfalls. The prudential regulator’s cyber security strategy for 2020 to 2024 seeks to lift cyber security standards and introduce heightened accountability where companies fail to meet their legally binding requirements. 7 Simple Ways to Make Your Android Phone More Secure Date: 2020-12-01 Author: WIRED There are a couple of different ways to think about privacy when it comes to your phone. There’s the data that it collects about your actions and interests, and then there are the protections you can put in place to stop people around you from accessing the physical device. Both are important, and there are easy things you can do to improve each of them.

We would like to hear it, help us spread the word on Cyber Security. Until next week, have a wonderful and restful weekend everyone. Law In Order hit by ransomware attack Date: 2020-11-24 Author: iTnews Law In Order, an Australian supplier of document and digital services to law firms, suffered a ransomware infection over the weekend that is believed to be the Netwalker malware. After detecting the attack, Law In Order said it halted many of its business operations and called in cyber security advisers to assist in the investigation and incident response. Law In Order said it had alerted authorities including the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Cyber Security Centre to the attack. Online shoppers warned to be on alert as scams increase, losses climb to $7 million Date: 2020-11-24 Author: iTWire Australians have been warned to be careful when buying gifts this holiday season as losses to online shopping scams have already increased 42% this year as the country enters the busy Christmas-New Year period. The warning from the consumer watchdog ACCC’s Scamwatch service reports that it has received over 12,000 reports of online shopping scams so far this year, with almost $7 million in reported losses. Don’t give too much away this Christmas! Date: 2020-11-24 Author: Data at UQ – The University of Queensland [AUSCERT is proudly a part of The University of Queensland.] For most of us, Christmas is a time of merriment. For cyber criminals however, it’s also the season for exploitation. Did you know that Australians lost over $14 million through scams last December? Common Christmas scams include fake email gift certificates, e-cards and parcel delivery notifications which request either confirmation of delivery addresses or payment to collect or hold a parcel. In these scams, criminals use email, mobile apps, social networking and online forums to siphon money from victims. Don’t be a scam statistic this silly season. Give presents, not data this Christmas. Be careful with the information you share online and follow the tips listed here to protect your data. Microsoft gives Linux a security boost with these new attack detection tools Date: 2020-11-19 Author: TechRepublic Endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities for Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux are now available in public preview. Linux EDR will help Defender for Endpoint customers better protect Linux servers and networks and quickly take action against threats, Microsoft said. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux supports recent versions of the six most common Linux server distributions supported by Microsoft, which includes RHEL 7.2+, CentOS Linux 7.2+, Ubuntu 16 LTS or higher, SLES 12+, Debian 9+ and Oracle Linux 7.2. Hacker posts exploits for over 49,000 vulnerable Fortinet VPNs Date: 2020-11-22 Author: Bleeping Computer A hacker has posted a list of one-line exploits to steal VPN credentials from almost 50,000 Fortinet VPN devices.

Local admin privileges are required for this to be exploited. Stay safe, stay patched and have a good weekend! The AUSCERT team

AUSCERT at the 2020 FIRST Conference: virtual edition We’ve all heard the story – 2020 has been a year marked with exceptional challenges and without a doubt, one of the most affected sectors from the Covid-19 pandemic has been the events and conferences industry. With travel restrictions in place for the foreseeable future, conference organisers have had to be creative in the delivery of their events.  In my role at AUSCERT, this meant having to pivot our very own annual conference into an entirely virtual format. I’ve posted my personal thoughts on working behind the scenes in delivering (a successful) AUSCERT2020 conference via LinkedIn here. Despite the challenges faced, the learnings I have taken away from this experience; coupled with my witnessing of our delegates, speakers and colleagues who all rose to the occasion in the spirit of camaraderie and innovation – will be something I’ll never forget or take for granted again in my career!  That aside, I had the pleasure of being on the “flipside” recently and was fortunate enough to participate as a delegate at the 2020 FIRST Conference: virtual edition. FIRST is the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams and it brings together a wide variety of security and incident response teams including especially product security teams from the government, commercial, and academic sectors. This is FIRST’ 32nd annual conference and the theme was “Where Defenders Share”, highly relevant to the work that we do at AUSCERT. I tuned into all the keynotes and really enjoyed how they’d each varied from each other!Keynote 1Tracking Targeted Digital Threats: A View from the Citizen Lab by Ron Deibert, Director of  Citizen Lab (Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto) In his presentation, Ron presented some super interesting evidence-based info from the work done at Citizen Lab. Their projects shed light on some increasingly critical issues at the intersection of race, surveillance, free expression, privacy, and power. My personal key take-away from his presentation was this message ‘not all high-end spyware, whatever does the trick!’ – a reminder that some of the biggest security issues we face don’t necessarily stem from high-end technology.  Keynote 2 Project Zero’s Disclosure Philosophy by Ben Hawkes, Project Zero Team Lead at Google ‘Untangling the vulnerability disclosure debate’ – before tuning into Ben’s presentation, I was extremely intrigued by his one-line premise and the content certainly delivered! In his presentation, it was made clear that Google’s Project Zero was of the opinion that the best way to combat the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities is by predicting attackers’ movements. Ben also revealed that Google’s elite bug-hunting team is looking to build a “crystal ball” for forecasting miscreants’ behaviour based on expert forecasts from cybersecurity professionals. His keynote was also covered by the team from PortSwigger here. Keynote 3Transforming Security: Optimizing Five Trends to Enable Security for Businesses of all Sizes by Kathleen Moriarty, CTO at Center for Internet Security Last but certainly not least, I tuned into the final conference keynote by Kathleen Moriarty who was recently appointed CTO at the Center for Internet Security. The key message from her presentation was that, in order to combat cyber threats, including those that impact SMEs that are part of the supply chain – we need to rethink how information security is delivered and managed. For me personally, this presentation really tied in to the concept of “3-Ps” of comprehensive cybersecurity – products, policies and people, an important reminder to get the basics right within every organisation and one that I thought was great session to tune into for the management folks in our sector.  As most of us are aware, conferences are a great way to learn new skills and access the latest trends and insight in the sector. For me personally, being a delegate at FIRSTCON20 allowed me to achieve greater awareness and understanding of both existing (mature) and emergent technologies – especially from the perspective of someone who doesn’t possess a technical background in the sector.  I have been informed that the conference recordings will be moved to permanent FIRST hosting and will be made publicly available via their website and YouTube channel shortly. Congratulations team FIRST, 1600 registrations from nearly 100 countries – that was an incredible feat, job extremely well done in 2020!Laura Jiew AUSCERT Events and Marketing Communications Specialist 

AUSCERT Week in Review for 20th November 2020 Greetings, This week saw us supporting a couple of initiatives. We attended the 32nd Annual FIRST Conference which was held virtually. Despite the time difference, we were able to catch up on a number of presentations delivered at the conference on-demand. Most if not all of you would be familiar with FIRST which is the global Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams. As a proud member of FIRST for the past 24 years, AUSCERT is grateful to have been able to participate again in 2020. The other initiatives we supported this week were the International Fraud Awareness Week campaign which is an initiative run by the International Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) – mainly on our social media platforms. We also supported the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) information campaign called Think Before You Link. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the threat of foreign spies that are actively undertaking espionage and foreign interference in Australia, as well as to provide advice on how to reduce risk and respond to suspicious approaches. We shared this through our ADIR earlier in the week, please feel free to share it with colleagues. And last but not least, don’t forget – we’ve launched our AUSCERT2021 Call for Papers initiative. Help us celebrate the 20th anniversary of Australia’s original and oldest information security conference. AUSCERT members, we would love to see YOUR submissions containing stories, whether it be one of success or failure! The “heart” of our conference has always been about knowledge sharing and collaboration, so if you’ve got a story to share, AUSCERT may be able to provide you a stage. Feel free to share this with your network Until next week, have a wonderful weekend everyone. Retail giant Cencosud hit by Egregor Ransomware attack, stores impacted Date: 2020-11-14 Author: Bleeping Computer [Egregor continues to make waves in the sector, the AUSCERT team recently presented a case study on our Incident Management service which can be found on our website under Blogs & Publications. Be sure to note our 3-takeaways.] Chilean-based multinational retail company Cencosud has suffered a cyberattack by the Egregor ransomware operation that impacts services at stores. Cencosud is one of the largest retail companies in Latin America, with over 140,000 employees and $15 billion in revenue for 2019. Cencosud manages a wide variety of stores in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, including Easy home goods, Jumbo supermarkets, and the Paris department stores. Chrome 87 released with fix for NAT Slipstream attacks, broader FTP deprecation Date: 2020-11-17 Author: ZDNet [Refer to AUSCERT security bulletin ESB-2020.4090.] Google has released today version 87 of its Chrome browser, a release that comes with a security fix for the NAT Slipstream attack technique and a broader deprecation of the FTP protocol. Chrome 87 also comes with a fix for a new attack disclosed at the end of October by Samy Kamkar, a famous security researcher and computer hacker. Cisco fixes WebEx bugs allowing ‘ghost’ attackers in meetings Date: 2020-11-18 Author: Bleeping Computer [Refer to AUSCERT security bulletin ESB-2020.4095.2 on our website.] Cisco has fixed today three Webex Meetings security vulnerabilities that would have allowed unauthenticated remote attackers to join ongoing meetings as ghost participants. Cisco Webex is an online meeting and video conferencing software that can be used to schedule and join meetings. It also provides users with presentation, screen sharing, and recording capabilities. Threat actors abusing the now patched flaws could become ‘ghost’ users capable of joining a meeting without being detected as IBM researchers discovered while analyzing Cisco’s collaboration tool for vulnerabilities. Cyberattacks targeting health care must stop Date: 2020-11-13 Author: Microsoft On The Issues Blog [We are sharing this as an additional read to the alert issued by the ACSC (cyber.gov.au) on Friday 13 Nov regarding the observed increased activity by threat actors using the SDBBot Remote Access Tool (RAT) against the Australian health sector.] Two global issues will help shape people’s memories of this time in history – Covid-19 and the increased use of the internet by malign actors to disrupt society. It’s disturbing that these challenges have now merged as cyberattacks are being used to disrupt health care organizations fighting the pandemic. We think these attacks are unconscionable and should be condemned by all civilized society. Today, we’re sharing more about the attacks we’ve seen most recently and are urging governments to act. Ticketmaster Scores Hefty Fine Over 2018 Data Breach Date: 2020-11-13 Author: Threatpost Ticketmaster’s UK division has been slapped with a $1.65 million fine by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK, over its 2018 data breach that impacted 9.4 million customers. The fine (£1.25million) has been levied after the ICO found that the company “failed to put appropriate security measures in place to prevent a cyber-attack on a chat-bot installed on its online payment page” – a failure which violates the E.U.’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). ESB-2020.4090 – Google Chrome: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple fixes for the world’s most popular browser ESB-2020.4082 – Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple fixes for another popular browser ESB-2020.4095.2 – UPDATE Cisco Webex Meetings and Cisco Webex Meetings Server: Multiple vulnerabilities Fixes released to address ‘ghost’ attackers in webex meetings ESB-2020.4128 – postgresql12: Multiple vulnerabilities PostgreSQL database issues patched Stay safe, stay patched and have a good weekend!

Intel fixes 95 vulnerabilities in November 2020 Platform Update Date: 2020-11-11 Author: Bleeping Computer [AUSCERT issued an alert on CVE-2020-12321 and 12322 yesterday, please refer to ESB-2020.3962] Intel addressed 95 vulnerabilities as part of the November 2020 Patch Tuesday, including critical ones affecting Intel Wireless Bluetooth products and Intel Active Management Technology (AMT). The issues were detailed in the 40 security advisories published by Intel on its Product Security Center, with the company having delivered security and functional updates to users through the Intel Platform Update (IPU) process. Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco, Salesforce alarmed at security incident response takeover by govt Date: 2020-11-09 Author: iTnews Microsoft, AWS, Telstra, Cisco and Salesforce reacted with alarm at the prospect of direct administrative intervention by Australian authorities to counter cyber security threats against certain customers. Draft laws proposed by Home Affairs include “last resort” government assistance powers that, in “exceptional circumstances”, would allow the government to intervene in a particularly threatening attack scenario. The powers are broad – allowing the government to install programs, “access, add, restore, copy, alter or delete data”, alter the “functioning” of hardware or remove it entirely from premises, according to an exposure draft of the bill published today. IoT security is a mess. These guidelines could help fix that. Date: 2020-11-10 Author: ZDNet The supply chain around the Internet of Things (IoT) has become the weak link in cybersecurity, potentially leaving organisations open to cyber attacks via vulnerabilities they’re not aware of. But a newly released set of guidelines aims to ensure that security forms part of the entire lifespan of IoT product development. New guidelines from European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) recommend that all stages of the IoT device lifecycle need to be considered to help ensure devices are secure. Chinese hacking competition cracks Chrome, ESXi, Windows 10, iOS 14, Galaxy 20, Qemu, and more Date: 2020-11-09 Author: The Register VMware has taken the unusual step of warning about an imminent security advisory after a Chinese team successfully popped its flagship product. News of the crack came from Tianfu Cup, a hacking contest staged in China over the weekend and modelled on events like “Pwn2Own” where vendors allow teams to take down their wares under controlled conditions. The targets for the competition included the iPhone 11 running the new iOS 14, and the big four browsers – Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Cup organisers said 11 of the attacks succeeded. Play Store identified as main distribution vector for most Android malware Date: 2020-11-11 Author: ZDNet The official Google Play Store has been identified as the primary source of malware installs on Android devices in a recent academic study — considered the largest one of its kind carried out to date. Using telemetry data provided by NortonLifeLock (formerly Symantec), researchers analyzed the origin of app installations on more than 12 million Android devices for a four-month period between June and September 2019. In total, researchers looked at more than 34 million APK (Android application) installs for 7.9 million unique apps. ESB-2020.4051 – Apache OpenOffice: Execute arbitrary code/commands – Remote with user interaction A malicious document can contain links to any executable on the system triggered via a single click.
