Smarttech247 Cyber Threat Reports

Threat Reports are reports Smarttech247 are creating based on high and critical severity vulnerabilities that may have a high potential for exploiting in the wild i.e. vulnerabilities that are presenting in most used products by companies and do not have an auto-update option or they are usually not automatically updated in case that are leading to some service disruption.

In ransomware attacks, data from infected systems is held hostage (encrypted) until a fee is paid to the criminals. This modus operandi disrupts legitimate businesses, which may become unavailable until the data is restored, thus causing additional financial and reputational losses.

Critical Patches Issued for Microsoft Products

Updated: 9th June. Multiple critical vulnerabilities have been discovered in Microsoft products, which could allow for arbitrary code executing of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configuring to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

Netwalker & Sodinokibi Ransomware

Updated: 26th May. NetWalker Ransomware has been one of the most notorious ransomware families over the course of the past year. They have been targeting organizations in the US and Europe including several healthcare organizations. This is despite several known threat actors publicly claiming to abstain from targeting such organizations due to COVID-19.

Sodinokibi Ransomware is likely being distributed by attackers affiliated with those that distributed the infamous GandCrab ransomware family. It was supposed to be retired soon according to the underground forum where GandCrab was first appearing. Sodinokibi uses an Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm to generate and propagate encryption keys.
