Taking Action To Protect Your Infrastructure Against Cyber-Attack

Copy-Paste Compromise

In this month, Australia Cyber Security Center has announced the statement on malicious cyber activity against Australian institutions, including hospitals and state-owned utilities.

The attacker has been identified leveraging a number of POC, proof-of-concept, exploit code, shells, and other various tools from open source. These actions are primarily through the use of remote code execution vulnerabilities in unpatched versions of Telerik UI and other Microsoft IIS and Citrix vulnerabilities.

The attacker has shown the capability to find and quickly leverage exploitable public vulnerabilities and regularly conducts reconnaissance of target networks looking for vulnerable services. The attacker might potentially maintain a list of public-facing services to quickly locating the vulnerable services after future vulnerability releases.

How Is The Attack Happening

The attacker has shown the capability to find and quickly leverage exploitable public vulnerabilities and regularly conducts reconnaissance of target networks looking for vulnerable services. The attacker might potentially maintain a list of public-facing services to quickly locating the vulnerable services after future vulnerability releases.
If your company does not host any public-facing services, it does not mean your network would be one of the victims in this action. The ACSC has identified that the attack is also utilising various phishing techniques. The ACSC has advised the phishing has taken the form of:
  • links to credential harvesting websites
  • emails with links to malicious files, or with the malicious file directly attached
  • links prompting users to grant Office 365 OAuth tokens to the actor
  • use of email tracking services to identify the email opening and lure click-through events.
