Three hacking groups connected to the Russian and North Korean governments targeted COVID-19 vaccine and treatment researchers across five nations in recent months, and some of their attacks were successful, Microsoft said Friday. The hackers went after seven prominent companies in Canada, France, India, South Korea and the United States, according to Microsoft. The hacking groups are the Russia-linked Fancy Bear, which Microsoft refers to as Strontium; the North Korea-connected organization Lazarus Group, which Microsoft calls Zinc; and a third North Korean group that Microsoft has not previously mentioned publicly, which it calls Cerium. Microsoft’s alert deepens the breadth of warnings from government agencies and cybersecurity companies: Hackers affiliated with some of the U.S.’s biggest adversaries in cyberspace are hard at work to hack others’ vaccine research. “Among the targets, the majority are vaccine makers that have Covid-19 vaccines in various stages of clinical trials,” Tom Burt, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for customer security and […]

Hacking tools and techniques that are capable of accessing “air-gapped” systems — those cut off from external network connections — are coveted by intelligence agencies and pored over by security researchers. Spies try to conceal them; researchers try to expose them to warn potential victims. That dynamic is behind Slovakian anti-virus company ESET’s decision Wednesday to go public with what it says is a previously unknown malicious software framework designed to steal files from air-gapped systems. Much around the hacking tool — who is using it, who some of its victims are — remains a mystery. But ESET is hoping publicizing it will shake loose more clues in their hunt for the hackers. “We believe Ramsay is intended to be used in targeted attacks only and [has] espionage written all over it,” Alexis Dorais-Joncas, a security intelligence team lead at ESET, told CyberScoop. “‘Normal’ people do not operate in air-gapped environments.” The […]
