Chinese hackers were likely behind a series of intrusions at Russian government agencies last year, security firm SentinelOne said Tuesday. Malicious code used in the breaches is similar to hacking tools associated with a broad set of suspected Chinese spies that have also targeted Asian governments in recent years, SentinelOne researchers said. SentinelOne’s research builds on a report released last month by the Federal Security Service (FSB), one of Russia’s main spy agencies, and the cyber unit of telecom firm Rostelecom. It said Russian government agencies had been targeted by “cyber mercenaries pursuing the interests of the foreign state.” The attackers collected stolen data using top Russian technology providers Yandex and Mail.Ru, according to the report, which did not name a culprit in the breaches. SentinelOne’s findings point to an often overlooked reality in U.S.-centric cybersecurity discussions: that the Russian and Chinese governments conduct plenty of cyber-espionage against each other.

Ever since a 2012 hack that disabled tens of thousands of computers at oil giant Saudi Aramco, suspected Iranian operatives have been known to regularly use data-wiping hacks against organizations throughout the Middle East. Now, one such possible group has been posing as ransomware operators in an effort to conceal the origin of a series of data-wiping hacks against Israeli organizations, according to private-sector investigators. The hackers are demanding extortion fees even when the code they deploy deletes data rather than unlocks it. The findings, published Tuesday by security firm SentinelOne, suggest a growing willingness by certain Iran-linked hacking groups to use tactics associated with financially motivated criminals in order to advance their interests. “Deploying ransomware is a disruptive act that provides deniability, allowing the attackers to conduct destructive activity without taking the full responsibility of those acts,” said Amitai Ben Shushan Ehrlich, a threat intelligence researcher at SentinelOne. SentinelOne […]

Since 2009, vulnerabilities have lurked in Dell drivers that potentially affect hundreds of millions of machines, SentinelOne researchers said on Tuesday. Hackers could use the vulnerabilities to instigate a range of attacks, from ransomware to wipers that can erase hard drives, said J.A. Guerrero-Saade, principle threat researcher at the security firm. “They can basically do whatever they want,” Guerrero-Saade told CyberScoop. Dell released mitigation steps on Tuesday in advance of SentinelOne publishing its research. Those flaws sitting undiscovered for 12 years is not unheard of, despite a whole industry of security researchers dedicated to weeding out bugs that could abet cyberattacks. A 2017 study found that a quarter of zero-day vulnerabilities remain hidden for more than nine and a half years. In the case of the Dell flaws, Guerrero-Saade said their dormant nature reflects a “target-rich environment,” especially as it pertains to drivers that allow computers to communicate with hardware.

“We recently became aware of a trojanized Xcode project in the wild targeting iOS developers thanks to a tip from an anonymous researcher. The malicious project is a doctored version of a legitimate, open-source project available on GitHub,”… Continue reading iOS app developers targeted with trojanized Xcode project
Hackers appear to be targeting Apple developers with a backdoor that has worked its way into a shared Xcode project, according to SentinelOne research published Thursday. In a blog post, SentinelOne says an external researcher alerted the company about malicious code that was tainting a development project in Xcode, Apple’s integrated development environment (IDE) for macOS. The nefarious project, which the researchers say abuses the Run Script feature in Xcode, is a malicious version of an open-source project that’s been available on GitHub that’s intended to help developers with features in animating the iOS Tab Bar. The attackers have made a version of the project to execute a malicious script and target a victim’s development machine with a backdoor. If they leverage the backdoor properly the attackers could record through the victim’s microphone or camera, or log keystrokes from their keyboard. The hackers could also upload or download files, according […]
