CVE-2023-21593: Adobe Security Bulletin

Talos is publishing a glimpse into the most prevalent threats we've observed between Feb. 10 and Feb. 17.

Threat Round up for February 10 to February 17

Millions of Americans receiving food assistance benefits just earned a new right that they can't yet enforce: The right to be reimbursed if funds on their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards are stolen by card skimming devices secretly installed at cash machines and grocery store checkout lanes.

Millions of Americans receiving food assistance benefits just earned a new right that they can’t yet enforce: The right to be reimbursed if funds on their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards are stolen by card skimming devices secretly installed at cash machines and grocery store checkout lanes.

On December 29, 2022, **President Biden** signed into law the **Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023**, which — for the first time ever — includes provisions for the replacement of stolen EBT benefits. This is a big deal because in 2022, organized crime groups began massively targeting EBT accounts — often emptying affected accounts at ATMs immediately after the states disperse funds each month.

EBT cards can be used along with a personal identification number (PIN) to pay for goods at participating stores, and to withdraw cash from an ATM. However, EBT cards differ from debit cards issued to most Americans in two important ways. First, most states do not equip EBT cards with smart chip technology, which can make the cards more difficult and expensive for skimming thieves to clone.

More critically, EBT participants traditionally have had little hope of recovering food assistance funds when their cards were copied by card-skimming devices and used for fraud. That’s because while the EBT programs are operated by individually by the states, those programs are funded by the **U.S. Department of Agriculture** (USDA), which until late last year was barred from reimbursing states for stolen EBT funds.

The protections passed in the 2023 Appropriations Act allow states to use federal funds to replace stolen EBT benefits, and they permit states to seek reimbursement for any skimmed EBT funds they may have replaced from their own coffers (dating back to Oct. 1, 2022).

But first, all 50 states must each submit a plan for how they are going to protect and replace food benefits stolen via card skimming. Guidance for the states in drafting those plans was issued by the USDA on Jan. 31 (PDF), and states that don’t get them done before Feb. 27, 2023 risk losing the ability to be reimbursed for EBT fraud losses.

**Deborah Harris** is a staff attorney at **The Massachusetts Law Reform Institute** (MLRI), a nonprofit legal assistance organization that has closely tracked the EBT skimming epidemic. In November 2022, the MLRI filed a class-action lawsuit against Massachusetts on behalf of thousands of low-income families who were collectively robbed of more than $1 million in food assistance benefits by card skimming devices secretly installed at cash machines and grocery store checkout lanes across the state.

Harris said she’s pleased that the USDA guidelines were issued so promptly, and that the guidance for states was not overly prescriptive. For example, some security experts have suggested that adding contactless capability to EBT cards could help participants avoid skimming devices altogether. But Harris said contactless cards do not require a PIN, which is the only thing that stops EBT cards from being drained at the ATM when a participant’s card is lost or stolen.

Then again, nothing in the guidance even mentions chip-based cards, or any other advice for improving the physical security of EBT cards. Rather, it suggests states should seek to develop the capability to perform basic fraud detection and alerting on suspicious transactions, such as when an EBT card that is normally used only in one geographic area suddenly is used to withdraw cash at an ATM halfway across the country.

“Besides having the states move fast to approve their plans, we’d also like to see a focused effort to move states from magstripe-only cards to chip, and also assisting states to develop the algorithms that will enable them to identify likely incidents of stolen benefits,” Harris said.

Harris said Massachusetts has begun using algorithms to look for these suspicious transaction patterns throughout its EBT network, and now has the ability to alert households and verify transactions. But she said most states do not have this capability.

“We have heard that other states aren’t currently able to do that,” Harris said. “But encouraging states to more affirmatively identify instances of likely theft and assisting with the claims and verification process is critical. Most households can’t do that on their own, and in Massachusetts it’s very hard for a person to get a copy of their transaction history. Some states can do that through third-party apps, but something so basic should not be on the burden of EBT households.”

Some states aren’t waiting for direction from the federal government to beef up EBT card security. Like Maryland, which identified more than 1,400 households hit by EBT skimming attacks last year — a tenfold increase over 2021.

Advocates for EBT beneficiaries in Maryland are backing Senate Bill 401 (PDF), which would require the use of chip technology and ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity (a hearing on SB401 is scheduled in the Maryland Senate Finance Commission for Thursday, Feb. 23, at 1 p.m.).

**Michelle Salomon Madaio** is a director at the Homeless Persons Representation Project, a legal assistance organization based in Silver Spring, Md. Madaio said the bill would require the state Department of Human Services to replace skimmed benefits, not only after the bill goes into effect but also retroactively from January 2020 to the present.

Madaio said the bill also would require the state to monitor for patterns of suspicious activity on EBT cards, and to develop a mechanism to contact potentially affected households.

“For most of the skimming victims we’ve worked with, the fraudulent transactions would be pretty easy to spot because they mostly happened in the middle of the night or out of state, or both,” Madaio said. “To make matters worse, a lot of families whose benefits were scammed then incurred late fees on many other things as a result.”

It is not difficult to see why organized crime groups have pounced on EBT cards as easy money. In most traditional payment card transactions, there are usually several parties that have a financial interest in minimizing fraud and fraud losses, including the bank that issued the card, the card network (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, etc.), and the merchant.

But that infrastructure simply does not exist within state EBT programs, and it certainly isn’t a thing at the inter-state level. What that means is that the vast majority of EBT cards have zero fraud controls, which is exactly what continues to make them so appealing to thieves.

For now, the only fraud controls available to most EBT cardholders include being especially paranoid about where they use their cards, and frequently changing their PINs.

According to USDA guidance issued prior to the passage of the appropriations act, EBT cardholders _should consider changing their card PIN at least once a month_.

“By changing PINs frequently, at least monthly, and doing so before benefit issuance dates, households can minimize their risk of stolen benefits from a previously skimmed EBT card,” the USDA advised.

New Protections for Food Benefits Stolen by Skimmers

BEC gangs Midnight Hedgehog and Mandarin Capybara show how online marketing and translation tools are making it easy for these threat groups to scale internationally.

Business email compromise (BEC) attacks involve impersonating an executive or business partner in order to convince a corporate target to wire large sums of cash to an attacker-controlled bank account. Mounting a successful international version of this cyberattack typically requires a lot of effort and resources. Necessary steps include researching the target thoroughly enough to make phishing lures convincing and hiring native speakers to translate scams into multiple languages. But that's all changing as threat groups avail themselves of free, online tools that take some of the legwork out of the process.

A report from Abnormal Security released this week identified two BEC groups that exemplify the trend: Midnight Hedgehog and Mandarin Capybara. Both are leveraging Google Translate, which lets threat actors whip up a plausible phishing lure, in almost any language, in an instant.

Researchers in the report also warned that tools like commercial business marketing services are also making it easier than ever for less-sophisticated and less-resourced BEC threat groups to succeed. These, mostly used by sales and marketing departments to identify "leads," make it simple to track down the best targets regardless of their region. 

It's all bad news for defenders given that BEC attacks are already lucrative, racking up $2.4 billion in losses in 2021 alone, according to the FBI's Crime Report — and the number of BEC attacks continues to explode. Now, with some of the cost being driven out of performing them, volumes are only likely to go up.

**BEC Groups Scale Fast With Translation, Marketing Tools**

Abnormal Security's Crane Hassold, director of threat intelligence who wrote the report, noted that Midnight Hedgehog has been around since January 2021 and impersonates CEOs as its specialty, according to the report.

So far, the firm has observed two distinct phishing emails from the group translated into 11 different languages: Danish, Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Spanish, and Swedish. Thanks to Google Translate's effectiveness, the emails are missing the simple errors users are trained to look out for and view as suspicious.

"We've taught our users to look for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors to better identify when they may have received an attack," the report added. "When these are not present, there are fewer alarm bells to alert native speakers that something isn't right."

Requested payments from Midnight Hedgehog range anywhere from $17,000 to $45,000, the report said.

The second BEC threat group the report highlights, Mandarin Capybara, also sends emails purporting to be from company executives, but uses a twist: It contacts payroll to have direct-deposited paychecks sent to an account they control.

Abnormal Security has observed Mandarin Capybara targeting companies around the globe with phishing lures in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish, but it also targets companies outside of Europe with phishing emails aimed at English speakers in the US and Australia, unlike Midnight Hedgehog, which the report said sticks to non-English-speaking victims in Europe.

**Lowering the Barriers to BEC Entry**

Extending campaigns across any language with translation tools and using online services to identify "leads" of their own on who to victimize with their next cyberattack makes it easier than ever to scale operations across borders for BEC cyberattackers.

"As email marketing and translation tools become more accurate, effective, and accessible, we will continue to see hackers exploiting them to scam companies with increasing success," the report explained. "Not only that, because these emails sound legitimate and rely on behavioral manipulation instead of malware-infected files, Midnight Hedgehog, Mandarin Capybara, and other similar BEC groups will be able to easily bypass legacy security systems and spam filters."

The answer to defending against the rising number and increased sophistication of BEC attacks, Hassold explains to Dark Reading, is a two-pronged approach.

"As social engineering attacks become more sophisticated and it becomes more difficult to distinguish them from legitimate emails, it becomes even more important to prevent them from reaching their destination," he tells Dark Reading. "Security awareness training certainly has a role in defending against phishing attacks, but the best way to prevent employees from falling for these attacks is simply to ensure that they never receive them in the first place."

That means implementing behavioral-based machine learning and AI tools tuned to detect anything outside "normal" behavior will be a key to stopping this new supercharged version of international BEC attacks, the report said.

i don't think the uninit in line 425 is the culprit. it's called in order and before the code in line 810. it's some race condition in another part of the code.

I think @3kyo0 was right, that's exactly what I observed.

Hey 👋 there, cyber friends!

Welcome to **this week's cybersecurity newsletter**, where we aim to keep you informed and empowered in the ever-changing world of cyber threats.

In today's edition, we will cover some interesting developments in the cybersecurity landscape and share some insightful analysis of each to help you protect yourself against potential attacks.

****1\. Apple 📱 Devices Hacked with New Zero-Day Bug - Update ASAP!****

Have you updated your Apple devices lately? If not, it's time to do so, as the tech giant just released security updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Safari. The update is to fix a zero-day vulnerability that hackers have been exploiting.

This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-23529, is related to a type confusion bug in the WebKit browser engine. What does this mean? Well, it means that if you visit a website with malicious code, the bug can be activated, leading to arbitrary code execution. In other words, hackers can take control of your device and access all your data.

It's scary to think that simply visiting a website could lead to a security breach. This is why it's essential to keep your devices updated with the latest security patches.

****2\. Don't Be the Next Victim: ESXiArgs Ransomware 💥 Strikes 500+ New European Targets****

In a recent discovery by cybersecurity firm Censys, more than 500 hosts have fallen victim to the ESXiArgs ransomware strain. Most of these compromised hosts are located in France, Germany, the Netherlands, the U.K., and Ukraine. What's particularly concerning is that Censys found two hosts with ransom notes dating back to mid-October 2022, shortly after ESXi versions 6.5 and 6.7 reached their end of life.

This means that the attackers behind ESXiArgs have been active for several months, and were able to gain a foothold in these hosts during a time when they were no longer receiving security updates or patches. It also shows that ransomware attacks can take a while to gain traction, and can often go undetected for months before they are discovered.

What's even more alarming is that the ransom notes on the two hosts were updated on January 31, 2023, with a revised version that matches the ones used in the current wave of attacks. This suggests that the attackers have been refining their tactics and improving their ransomware strain to make it more effective.

Ransomware attacks like ESXiArgs can be devastating for organizations, causing data loss, financial losses, and reputational damage. It's important for organizations to stay vigilant and ensure that their systems are always up to date with the latest security patches and updates.

Additionally, having a solid backup and disaster recovery plan can help organizations quickly recover from an attack and minimize its impact.

****3\. DDoS Attack Breaks Record - 71 Million 😮 Requests Per Second!****

Cloudflare, a web infrastructure company, has reported that they have successfully stopped a massive distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. This attack, which peaked at over 71 million requests per second, is the largest HTTP DDoS attack that has been recorded so far, breaking the previous record of 46 million requests per second.

The attack was so large that Cloudflare has dubbed it a "hyper-volumetric" DDoS attack. The attack was targeted at websites that were secured by Cloudflare's platform, and it is believed that the attack originated from a botnet that was made up of more than 30,000 IP addresses from various cloud providers.

This attack is a reminder that DDoS attacks remain a significant threat to websites and online services, and it is crucial for companies to have robust security measures in place to protect against such attacks.

****4\. Microsoft 🖥️ Releases Urgent Patches - Update Your Windows ASAP!****

Microsoft has been busy this week, releasing security updates to fix a whopping 75 vulnerabilities in its products. That's a lot of potential ways for cybercriminals to wreak havoc on our devices and systems!

Three of the flaws have already been exploited in the wild, so it's crucial that users update their software as soon as possible. In total, nine of the vulnerabilities are rated as Critical, which means they could allow attackers to take over a device remotely.

But wait, there's more! 37 of the flaws are what are known as remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities. These are particularly dangerous because they allow attackers to execute code on a victim's device without any interaction or permission.

So, if you're using any Microsoft products, it's best to update them as soon as possible.

****5\. Linux 🐧 and IoT Devices Under Attack by V3G4 Mirai Botnet****

A new variant of the infamous Mirai botnet has been spotted wreaking havoc in the world of Linux and IoT devices. This new version, dubbed V3G4 by the experts at Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, is making use of 13 security vulnerabilities to spread itself far and wide.

As we know, the Mirai botnet has a notorious history, having been responsible for several high-profile attacks in the past. This new variant only serves to underscore the importance of keeping our devices and systems up to date with the latest security patches and measures.

****6\. Your Favorite Apps Could be Carrying a Dangerous Virus - 🚨 Stay Alert!****

Cybercriminals have launched a new type of attack targeting Chinese-speaking individuals in Southeast and East Asia. Using rogue Google Ads, they are tricking people looking for popular applications like Google Chrome, WhatsApp, and Skype and directing them to fake websites that download malware onto their machines.

The attacks are particularly insidious because they use seemingly legitimate Google Ads to lure in victims. The malware being downloaded is a remote access trojan called FatalRAT, which gives the attackers complete control over the infected machine.

Security researchers are urging people to be cautious when downloading applications, especially from unfamiliar websites.
