When cybercrime gang FIN7 weaponized a new attack vector against Microsoft applications within a day of it being published last week, it was just the latest slick move from a threat group who’ve been consistently one step ahead of cyber defenders. A timeline of different attack vectors used by the group compiled by Morphisec researchers shows that FIN7 typically adopts a new technique within “a couple of days” of an attack being discovered, once the number of security solutions that detect it gets into double figures. The Morphisec researchers analyzed scoring of FIN7 attachment lures by VirusTotal — a service that scans files and tests them against 56 kinds of security software. “A look at Virus Total scoring reveals that when a FIN7 campaign is first active, is goes mostly undetected by security solutions. The malicious documents do not score more than 1-3 detections. Within a couple of days, security solutions update their patterns and […]

A Eastern European hacking group hijacked U.S. state government servers to dispense malware through phishing emails that were designed to appear like they had come from the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to research by Cisco’s Talos team and an analysis by other cybersecurity experts familiar with the activity. The technical findings connect a known advanced persistent threat (APT) group, codenamed FIN7 by U.S. cybersecurity firm FireEye, to a sophisticated intrusion technique that was detected in a recent wave of spoofed emails that mimicked the SEC’s domain. The messages carried malware-laden Microsoft Word documents mentioning financial disclosure information from the EDGAR system. FIN7 is believed to represent a eastern European criminal enterprise that speaks Russian and operates internationally. Emails tied to this campaign were “highly targeted” and only sent to a small, select group of U.S. businesses in several different industry sectors, including finance, insurance and information technology, said Craig Williams, a senior […]

A sophisticated hacking group with suspected ties to cybercrime gangs operating in Eastern Europe is now actively targeting and breaching prominent, brand name restaurants in the U.S. A recently disclosed data breach suffered by Mexican fast food restaurant Chipotle was carried out by hackers linked to a group known as FIN7 or Carbanak Group, CyberScoop has learned. In addition to Chipotle, the hackers appears to be targeting national restaurant franchises Baja Fresh and Ruby Tuesday, according to malware samples and other evidence CyberScoop obtained. More than 20 U.S.-based hospitality companies — a combination of hotels and restaurants — have been successfully hacked by FIN7 since the summer of 2016, two cybersecurity researchers told CyberScoop on the condition of anonymity in order to speak freely regarding ongoing investigations. On February 22, a phishing email carrying an attachment titled “Payment overdue.eml” was sent to an email account associated with a Chipotle location […]
