The post Port scan attacks: Protecting your business from RDP attacks and Mirai botnets appeared first on Malwarebytes Labs.

Compromised IP addresses and domains—otherwise legitimate sites that are exploited by hackers without the owner's knowledge—are frequently utilized to conduct port scanning attacks.

Port scanning involves systematically scanning a computer network for open ports, which can then be exploited by threat actors to gain unauthorized access or gather information about the system's vulnerabilities.

In this article, we will explain the two biggest threats utilizing port scanning attacks, RDP attacks and Mirai botnets, and how businesses can protect themselves using Malwarebytes for Business.

**Compromised detections: RDP attacks and Mirai botnets**

Cybercriminals typically conduct reconnaissance on the target port before using what are called dictionary attacks, entering and trying out known usernames and passwords to see if any of the combinations grant access.

The two most common detections of compromised IP addresses are systems scanning for open RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) ports and IoT (Internet of Things) botnets, such as Mirai.

Remote Desktop Protocol is exactly what the name implies, a tool for remotely controlling a PC that gives you all the power and control you would have if you were actually sitting behind it—which is what makes it so dangerous in the wrong hands. In fact, **one of the primary attack vectors for ransomware attacks** has been the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).

RDP port scanners, often found in the form of compromised servers, scan the internet for open RDP ports by trying the default port for RDP, **TCP 3389**. The cybercriminals that control the compromised server then try to brute-force their way in, repeatedly entering common username and password combos to find RDP login credentials.

Other than RDP, cybercriminals often perform port scans for various other network protocols, including FTP (20/21), POP3 (110/995), IMAP (143/993), SMTP (25/465/587), and SQL (1433/1434/3306). Gaining access through RDP and other network protocols allows attackers to infiltrate systems and deploy various malware.

Mirai, on the other hand, is a botnet primarily composed of Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as IP cameras, routers, and other internet-connected devices. Mirai actively scans the internet for open telnet servers on **ports 23 or 2323**, and, upon discovering one, attempts authentication using known default credentials. Such credentials are easy to find in many IoT devices—they're often the prepackaged combination of "admin" and "admin" for both username and password whenever customers first purchase a product to set it up. 

If successful in its malicious login attempts, Mirai compromises the device and integrates it into the existing botnet.

In addition to launching DDoS attacks, botnets like Mirai can aid hackers in weakening website security, stealing credit card information, and distributing spam.

**Protecting your business with Malwarebytes for Business**

Malwarebytes for Business offers a comprehensive solution to monitor and manage threats, including detections from compromised IP addresses scanning for and attacking open ports.

For example, Malwarebytes blocks the **IP address 5.39.37.10** as it is associated with the Mirai botnet, and **81.198.240.73** because it has been found to be involved in RDP probes or attacks.

**Brute Force Protection** policies in Nebula, our cloud-hosted security platform, can be configured to specify which protocols to protect, the ports used (default or custom), and create trigger rules. If set to monitor and detect, the policy will not block the ports. However, if set to block, it will utilize the Windows Firewall to block communications based on the configured rules.

When a block is implemented, the offending IP address will be placed in a "jail" for a predetermined duration, such as 30 minutes as shown in the example screenshot above. Blocks last a max of 60 minutes because IP addresses might be reassigned to legitimate users, or an attacker may leverage a legitimate user's IP address. 

There are two kinds of inbound connections that Malwarebytes can detect, Blocked Inbound Connections and Found Inbound Connections.

**Blocked inbound connections**

Detections with the following fields reported typically occur when a port is open and exposed to the internet:

*   **Type**: Inbound Connection
    
*   **Action** Taken: Blocked
    

These detections are prevented by the Web Protection real-time protection layer. When these detections occur, it means the IP address being blocked is scanning or attempting to force its way into the endpoint using different ports.

Malwarebytes blocks IP addresses that have a history of abuse and is correctly preventing malicious connections.

**Found inbound connections**

Detections with the following fields reported are typically a result of having open ports in the router or firewall:

*   **Type**: Inbound Connection
    
*   **Action Taken**: Found
    
*   **Detection Name**: RDP Intrusion Detection
    

These detections occur based on your Brute Force Protection trigger rule settings specified in the Nebula policy.

**Configuring Brute Force Protection in Nebula**

To configure Brute Force Protection in Nebula:

1.  On the left navigation menu, go to **Configure > Policies**.
    
2.  Select a policy, then select the **Brute Force Protection** tab.
    
3.  Select the following protocols for your workstations or servers:
    

*   **Workstation and server protocols**: Check mark the RDP protocol.
    
*   **Server-only protocols**: Check mark the **FTP, IMAP, MSSQL, POP3, SMTP, or SSH** protocols.
    

4.  Configure custom port settings based on your endpoint environment and protocol requirements.
    
5.  Create a Trigger rule based on the number of failed remote login attempts within a certain minute range across all enabled protocols. Choose to either **block** the IP address or **monitor and** **detect** the event when the trigger threshold is reached.
    
6.  Optionally, enable the option to **Prevent private network connections from being blocked.**
    
7.  When enabled, endpoints within private network address ranges will not trigger Brute Force Protection due to failed login attempts. This excludes the following network ranges:
    

*   **10.0.0.0/8** (10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255)
    
*   **172.16.0.0/12** (172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255)
    
*   **192.168.0.0/16** (192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255)
    
*   **127.0.0.0/8** (127.0.0.0-127.255.255.255)
    

8.  Click Save at the top-right of your policy.
    

**Safeguarding your business from compromised threats**

Port scan attacks: Protecting your business from RDP attacks and Mirai botnets

By Waqas
Is it a highly dubious claim by the infamous LockBit 3.0 ransomware gang? It looks like it!
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: LockBit 3.0 Posts Dubious Claims of Breaching Darktrace Cybersecurity Firm

**Darktrace, a leading cybersecurity firm renowned for its AI-powered threat detection and response solutions, has swiftly dismissed LockBit 3.0’s statements.**

LockBit 3.0, a notorious ransomware gang known for its high-profile and some time making up attacks, has claimed to have successfully hacked, prominent Cambridge, United Kingdom-based Darktrace cybersecurity company.

The gang announced the breach on its dark web portal, where they posted images of Darktrace’s CEO Poppy Gustafsson that are already publicly available. Although LockBit 3.0 claims to have published the alleged stolen data, clicking the download links on the gang’s website only redirects users to Darktrace’s official website.

Darktrace, on the other hand, has issued a statement acknowledging the claims made by LockBit 3.0, but denying any breaches or malicious activity.

> **Our security teams have run a full review of our internal systems and can see no evidence of compromise. None of the LockBit social media posts link to any compromised Darktrace data. We will continue to monitor the situation extremely closely, but based on our current investigations we are confident that our systems remain secure and all customer data is fully protected.**

> Darktrace

LockBit 3.0 has a track record of targeting high-profile organizations, such as a SpaceX contractor, and demanding hefty ransoms for the release of encrypted data. Yet, the group has faced allegations of fabricating claims about compromising new victims. For example, in a similar instance last year, LockBit 3.0 claimed to have breached cybersecurity firm Mandiant, which is owned by Google. However, Mandiant swiftly denied and dismissed the gang’s statements.

There has also been confusion regarding whether LockBit 3.0 initially meant Darktrace or DarkTracer, a Singapore-based threat intelligence and OSINT firm, as their victim. However, it is safe to say that neither Darktrace nor DarkTracer has been targeted or impacted by any breach. Read more about this on Twitter.

****Ransomware, a growing threat****

In recent years, ransomware attacks have become a major cybersecurity challenge, causing significant financial losses and reputational damage to businesses and organizations worldwide.

These attacks often result in data breaches, operational disruptions, and financial extortion, as victims are left with few options other than paying the ransom or facing severe consequences.

As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, organizations must remain vigilant in their efforts to safeguard their systems and data from cyber threats. This includes implementing robust cybersecurity measures, regularly updating and patching systems, and providing comprehensive employee training on cybersecurity best practices.

LockBit 3.0 Posts Dubious Claims of Breaching Darktrace Cybersecurity Firm

An "open" Internet faces challenges from autocratic governance models. Policymakers should instead think about creating an Internet that's equitable, inclusive, and secure.

In policy circles, we often hear about the need for a "free," "open," and "secure" Internet. This was most recently the case with the White House's Declaration for the Future of the Internet. Ideally, users benefit from all three properties. However, fundamental tradeoffs between them force us to look for other goals. These three properties present a "trilemma" — and we must choose _only two_.

As a supposedly "open" Internet faces challenges from autocratic governance models, policymakers should think instead about creating an "equitable, inclusive, and secure" Internet — criteria I believe are actually achievable with policy interventions.

"Free," "open," _and_ "secure"? Those are all slippery notions, but they have traditionally been operationalized by three properties.

"Free" has been understood to mean "permissionlessness" — anyone can send anything to anyone.

"Open" has been understood to mean common carriage. Common carriers (traditionally Internet service providers or ISPs) cannot filter content. This notion has been referred to as "net neutrality" in US policy debates.

"Secure" has been understood to mean reasonable protection against attack: Internet users should enjoy reasonable protection against both unfocused attacks (like distributed denial of service, or DDoS) and targeted ones (like ransomware).

    

Source: Nick Merrill

To understand this trilemma, let's start by understanding how security is achieved on the Internet today. Content distribution networks (CDNs) — like Cloudflare — use AI to defend against both large-scale and targeted threats. Due to their efficacy, CDNs have grown in their importance: Per recent estimates, CDNs now deliver three-quarters of traffic directly to users.

However, CDNs are not common carriage: Algorithms inspect content and make a judgment about whether to allow or block it. Let's call this strategy "secure with AI."

Could we have protection against cyberattacks _and_ common carriage? Yes: We could use cryptographic identities to authenticate traffic. Traffic could then be common carriage, and end users could decide which identities to accept (or reject) traffic from. The problem? In such a world, we lose the "free" or permissionless Internet, creating a scenario I call "secure with ID."

**Toward an Inclusive and Equitable Internet**

Which world do we prefer?

Let's start with the secure with AI world. We sacrifice common carriage: "Stop worrying and love the algorithm." Can AI be made inspectable, regulatable, and directly accountable to policymakers, and also be robust against attacks? These questions would guide us in understanding the workability of this approach.

Now, let's look at the other side: secure with ID. We regain common carriage but open up new avenues for discrimination. A properly engineered system should obfuscate users' exact identity (e.g., one's name), but will reveal which authority granted that identity (e.g., "Is this person American?").

In navigating these two worlds, inclusion and equity must be our north star.

Imagine you live in Ghana. As research on this topic reveals, people from countries like Ghana are regularly prevented from accessing websites, thanks to AI-powered "security" measures from CDNs. How can we make a democratically governed Internet more inclusive while retaining our democratic values?

In the "secure with AI" world, we would need Ghanaians (and others from countries in which connectivity is fast-rising) to sit at the table in which algorithms are governed.

In the "secure with ID" world, we would need to give Ghanaians robust digital identities — not only to hand Ghanaians identities,but to make these identities legible and usable in actual practice, and to give Ghanaians a say in how those identities work.

Which is harder? Which is more inclusive in practice? Which does a better job of assuring a democratic Internet, one subject to the will of the broadest number of people — not in theory, but in practice?

**Looking Over the Horizon**

Artificial intelligence, quantum communication, bioengineered pathogens: Various near-future technologies will require strict governance and sharp policy thinking.

These threats are — and I'll use a technical term here — scary. Here's where I take solace: If we can manage to govern the Internet, we'll find ourselves many steps closer to managing technology broadly.

The Internet governs the way technologies communicate with one another. As we govern transportation by placing roads and skies under publicly accountable institutions, we can govern technology — particularly AI — by placing Internet infrastructure under the right kinds of public accountability.

Democracy can find an answer here, and that answer will propel us closer to a model of democratically accountable technology.

What does that accountability actually look like? Answers to this question will help shape the future. Will our children, and their children, fear technology, or control it? Will they be watched over by technologies — by technocrats — or will they do the watching?

The Internet Reform Trilemma

**MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 11, 2023** – Menlo Security, a leader in browser security, today shared results from the CyberEdge Group’s 10th Annual Cyberthreat Defense Report (CDR). This year’s report, sponsored in part by Menlo Security, highlights the growing importance of browser isolation technologies to combat ransomware and other malicious threats. This continues to be critically important as the research revealed that 78% of ransomware attacks include threats beyond data encryption.

Threat actors know today’s employees spend most of their time working in their web browser, making it both a critical business asset and an attractive attack vector if not properly protected. More than half (51%) of respondents use some form of browser or Internet isolation to protect their organizations, with another 40% planning to deploy this type of technology in the next 12 months. Furthermore, 33% of respondents noted that browser isolation is a key element of their cybersecurity strategy for protecting against sophisticated attacks such as ransomware, phishing and zero-day attacks.

This growing focus on browser security is validated by CDR findings that four in five respondents said that when victimized by ransomware attacks, which are often delivered through the browser, they faced the consequences of multiple threats if they did not pay the ransom. These multi-level attacks included threats to publicly release exfiltrated data (40%), notify customers/media of a data breach (42%) or commit a DDoS attack against the organization (42%).

“Evasive web threats, including Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats (HEAT), often come through the web browser and easily bypass multiple layers of detection in prominent security technology, resulting in malware, compromised credentials, and, many times, ransomware,” said Mark Guntrip, senior director of cybersecurity strategy at Menlo Security. “The CDR shows that the risk of ransomware delivered via a HEAT attack is becoming even more serious, with multiple threats in one payload. Preventing it is critical and browser isolation technologies are a highly effective way to do so.”

This year’s CDR notes browser isolation as an up-and-coming technology that allows employees to perform activities such as accessing websites, opening emails and downloading documents in an isolated environment in the cloud. Because the browser session is isolated, any malware, ransomware or other threats are unable to reach corporate systems, negating the effectiveness of even sophisticated attacks.

“It’s exciting to see browser isolation technologies embraced by CDR respondents, in part because they’re designed to improve security without affecting the end user’s experience at all,” said Steve Piper, founder and CEO of CyberEdge Group. “We think that we’ll all be hearing more about the importance of this type of technology in the future.”

**About the CDR**

In November 2022, 1,200 IT security decision makers and practitioners completed a 27-question online survey. Each participant was employed by a commercial or government entity with a minimum of 500 employees. Participants came from six geographic regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. The CDR gauges perceptions about cyberthreats and ascertains future plans for improving security and reducing risk. It empowers IT security professionals to benchmark their company’s security posture, operating budget, product investments, and best practices against peers in their industry and geographic region.

CVE-2023-24513: Security Advisory 0085 - Arista

By Waqas
DDoS attacks have surged by 47% in Q1 2023, according to a StormWall report.
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: US, India and China Most Targeted in DDoS Attacks, StormWall Q1 2023 Report

**StormWall projects a 170% increase in DDoS Attacks by the end of 2023 and urges businesses to implement mitigation strategies.**

Leading cybersecurity provider, StormWall, has released a comprehensive report on the state of Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS attacks) in Q1 2023. The report, based on an analysis of attacks on StormWall’s clients across various sectors, reveals a significant increase of 47% in DDoS attacks compared to the same period last year.

The findings, shared with Hackread.com, highlight a worrisome trend of botnet usage and a growing practice of smokescreening to conceal multi-vector attacks.

The study reveals that attackers are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure and services, including logistical services, payment processing hubs, and banking systems, in an attempt to impact a larger number of users. The average attack strength reached a peak of 1.4 Tbps, and the longest attack lasted for 4 days.

Among the sectors targeted, the financial industry experienced the highest number of attacks, accounting for 34% of the total and witnessing a staggering 68% increase compared to Q1 2022. E-commerce also faced significant challenges, enduring 22% of the attacks and experiencing a 51% increase from the previous year. Telecommunications remained a popular target, with 16% of the attacks and a 47% year-over-year increase.

The use of botnets in DDoS attacks continues to gain traction, with over 38% of attacks leveraging networks of compromised devices. Additionally, the practice of smokescreening, where DDoS attacks are used as decoys in multi-vector assaults, increased by 28% compared to the previous year.

The report also reveals that more destructive HTTP attacks are becoming increasingly accessible to run. As a result, 82.3% of DDoS attacks targeted the application layer (L7), while 11.7% were directed at the transport (L4) and network (L3) layers of the OSI model. DNS was targeted in 2.3% of the attacks, and the remaining 3.7% were aimed at other targets.

Geographically, the United States (17.6% attack share), India (14.2%), and China (11.7%) remain the most targeted countries. However, the United Arab Emirates saw a notable surge in attacks, with the proportion nearly doubling from 3.8% in Q1 2022 to 6.4% in the current year. Russia and Ukraine, on the other hand, experienced a decline in DDoS activity as hacktivism subsided.

Targeted industries and countries

StormWall’s report emphasizes the escalating threat of DDoS attacks, as evidenced by the significant rise in attack volume, strength, and duration. With threat actors constantly adapting their tactics and integrating DDoS attacks within multi-vector incidents, organizations need to address not only outages from overburdened servers but also data breaches, ransomware, and other associated threats.

Based on data analysis from client-targeted attacks, StormWall projects a further 170% increase in DDoS attacks by the end of 2023. In light of these alarming findings, the company strongly recommends that all businesses seek professional DDoS protection to safeguard their online assets in the upcoming year.

1.  Significant increase in demand for stolen YouTube credentials
2.  DDoS attacks hitting BLM movement see widespread increase
3.  Vulnerable phones, IoT Devices: 400% increase in infection rate
4.  400% increase in cryptomining malware attacks against iPhones
5.  Israel Faces Fresh Wave of Cyberattacks on Critical Infrastructure

CVE-2022-40679: Fortiguard

Israel's National Cyber Defense is warning of increased cyberattacks by anti-Israel groups during the month of Ramadan.

On April 5, the Israel Post fell victim to a cyberattack, forcing the mail service to shut down some services. Just two days later, farmers missed scheduled irrigation times when water controllers in the Jordan Valley were hijacked with displays that read, "You Have been hacked, Down with Israel _(sic)_."

These recent cyberattacks are part of a predictable wave of increased, malicious cyber activity that Israeli organizations have come to expect during the month of Ramadan, according to the Israel National Cyber Directorate, which recently issued a warning about a spike in anti-Israel hacktivist activity.

"Each year during this period, attacks such as website defacement, distribution of phishing messages, social media hacking, DDoS attacks, intrusion into company websites, and information leaks are observed — alongside publications boasting cyberattacks that did not necessarily take place," the INCD warning said. "Additional, common attacks are on website storage and building companies, in an attempt to create a wider attack that will increase awareness. It is estimated that similar attempts will take place this year as well, using simple means and exploiting common weaknesses in the cyber sphere."

The National Cyber Directorate and the Ministry of Agriculture are investigating the breaches of the Israel Post and the irrigation system, according to reports. Other Israeli organizations breached in recent weeks include websites for Israel Railways, airlines, universities, and more, all part of the "OPIsrael" campaign waged each year, reports added.

Israeli Irrigation Water Controllers & Postal Service Breached

KillNet claims it carried out cyberattacks that resulted in the "paralysis" of 40% of NATO's electronic infrastructure.
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: KillNet Claims Creating Gay Dating Profiles with NATO Logins

**In an announcement on Telegram, the Russian KillNet hacker group claimed to have targeted NATO with DDoS attacks, stolen plain-text login credentials and used them to create accounts on a gay dating portal in Kyiv and Moldova.**

KillNet, a pro-Russian group of hacktivists, has claimed responsibility for a series of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on NATO’s cyberinfrastructure and breaching its security to steal data.

According to the group, KillNet claims it carried out cyberattacks that resulted in the “paralysis” of 40% of NATO’s electronic infrastructure.

The group made the announcement on its Telegram channel, where it listed its targets and leaked NATO email addresses and plain-text passwords that it claimed to have stolen from NATO School, apparently the NATO School Oberammergau (NSO).

In addition to the data leak, KillNet also shared a screenshot showing that it had used the alleged stolen login credentials to register 150 email addresses on a gay dating portal in Kyiv and Moldova, suggesting a possible motive of embarrassment or blackmail.

The tactics employed by KillNet should not come as a surprise, as both sides in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have been utilizing social engineering skills in their efforts to gain advantage over each other.

Just last week, Hackread.com reported how Ukrainian hacktivists lured Russian military wives into a “patriotic photoshoot” and successfully extracted personal and Russian military-related details during the process.

This highlights the use of such tactics by both sides in the ongoing cyber warfare, where hacktivist groups like KillNet and Ukrainian counterparts are leveraging social engineering techniques to gather sensitive information and disrupt their adversaries.

Here’s what KillNet had to say on its Telegram about their latest attack on NATO. The following text was translated from Russian to English using the Yandex translation bot on Telegram.

40% of NATO's electronic infrastructure was paralyzed due to hackers from KillNet. Cybergospoda put the sites of defence orders, provision and support of the alliance and another pack of sites, without which it will be difficult to work normally.

Resources are being put under DDoS attacks right now, it is impossible to log in to accounts. The sites of the command for the development of combat operations, the NATO agency for support, support and procurement, and training cyber centres were distributed. And the NCI agency was hacked for sweet, from where they stole all the personal data of employees (a portal for people making important political decisions).

And this means that at least in the near future, comrades will drink water at the cooler and, clutching their heads, try to return the data.

KillNet first emerged amid the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, positioning itself as a counter-attack force against the hacktivist group Anonymous. Since then, KillNet has targeted private businesses and critical government websites around the world, including the United Kingdom and Lithuania, among others.

This is not the first time KillNet has claimed data theft from high-profile targets. In December 2021, the group claimed responsibility for stealing data from FBI agents, and in August 2022, it claimed to have stolen employee data from Lockheed Martin, a leading defence contractor.

The cyber attacks by KillNet highlight the ongoing threat of hacktivist groups and cyber warfare in today’s geopolitical landscape. NATO and other organizations must continue to prioritize cybersecurity and take proactive measures to safeguard their sensitive data from such attacks.

The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks pose significant challenges to governments, businesses, and individuals alike, and underscore the need for robust cybersecurity measures and international cooperation to combat cyber threats.
