SPOTLIGHT

A leading Russian bank founded in 1993 has experienced a major security incident. The bank is part of a huge Russian conglomerate company, which is the largest publicly traded holding company in Russia. The threat actor, who remains unnamed, dumped the data on a popular cybercrime channel, where it was quickly circulated. A large number of the bank's clients have had their personal information exposed. This breach comes after the news that the bank has had its license revoked by the UAE.

Trickbot is back in the news again this time because the United States and the United Kingdom have sanctioned several more of its members. The Cyber crime gang who predominantly runs out of Russia has seen 11 of its members sanctioned. The Gang runs like a normal company and has job roles which include HR representatives, developers, QA engineers, network administrators and managers. Trick bot is a banking trojan that has the ability to steal the usual bank data-types like financial information and a range of other sensitive data. The malware was first discovered back in 2014 and targets consumers and business’ as well as targeting bitcoin wallets on devices.

VULNERABILITY CHAT

Citizen Lab, the spyware research group discovered a zero day bug in iOS 16 that could allow attackers to remotely install spyware on a device without any interaction from the iPhone owner. iOS 16.6.1 fixes the security vulnerability.

North Korea is up to their usual tricks. Google's Threat Analysis Group (Tag) gave an update on the targeting of security researchers in the west. North Korean threat actors have been using social media sites to gather information on their targets, engaging them in conversations to try to gain their trust, then sending malicious files.

They’ve also developed a very useful tool on Windows for debugging symbols from Microsoft, Google, and several other popular software companies. Symbol is computer programming that has instances of unique human-readable sections. A debugging tool could be very useful for a security researcher, and the tool was posted on GitHub. At a quick glance, the code appeared harmless, but a closer look by the Google Threat Analysis group showed that after downloading the tool, it had the ability to execute malicious code from a command and control server controlled by said North Korean threat actors.
