Ukraine is under attack by hacking tools repurposed from Conti cybercrime group

Financially motivated hackers with ties to a notorious Conti cybercrime group are repurposing their resources for use against targets in Ukraine, indicating that the threat actor’s activities closely align with the Kremlin’s invasion of its neighboring country, a Google researcher reported on Wednesday.

Since April, a group researchers track as UAC-0098 has carried out a series of attacks that has targeted hotels, non-governmental organizations, and other targets in Ukraine, CERT UA has reported in the past. Some of UAC-0098’s members are former Conti members who are now using their sophisticated techniques to target Ukraine as it continues to ward off Russia’s invasion, Pierre-Marc Bureau, a researcher in Google’s Threat Analysis said.

An unprecedented shift

“The attacker has recently shifted their focus to targeting Ukrainian organizations, the Ukrainian government, and European humanitarian and non-profit organizations,” Bureau wrote. “TAG assesses UAC-0098 acted as an initial access broker for various ransomware groups including Quantum and Conti, a Russian cybercrime gang known as FIN12 / WIZARD SPIDER.”

Ransomware, a type of malicious software that threatens to publish a victim’s data unless a ransom is paid, represents a major threat to global cyber security, according to Europol.

The law enforcement agency’s Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment (IOCTA), a report that identifies emerging trends in cybercrime, also placed payment fraud and child sexual exploitation among the primary threats facing people online.

“The global impact of huge cyber security events such as the WannaCry ransomware epidemic has taken the threat from cybercrime to another level,” Europol’s Executive Director Rob Wainwright said in a statement.   

The WannaCry attack in May this year was said to have affected up to 300,000 people in more than 150 countries, impacting high-profile companies and institutions such as UK’s National Health Service (NHS) and Spanish telecommunications firm Telefonica.

The ransomware was facilitated by an exploit allegedly leaked by the NSA and acquired by a group of hackers known as ShadowBrokers.

The following month, Petya ransomware affected more than 20,000 people around the world.

While the IOCTA dubbed WannaCry a “negligible financial success” after less than one percent of victims paid the ransom, it noted that “the anxiety generated was socially significant.”

“This report shows online crime is the new frontier of law enforcement. We’ve all seen the impact of events like WannaCry: whether attacks are carried out for financial or political reasons, we need to improve our resilience and ensure cybercrime does not pay,” said EU Commissioner for the security union Julian King.

Germany, the UK, France, Italy and Sweden made up the top five EU member states to click on malicious URLs, according to the report, while France, the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Portugal hosted more than 80 percent of all the URLs.

Child sexual coercion and extortion of minors was also highlighted in the report, with the darknet mentioned as one of the main platforms for the distribution of child pornography.

“The largest and most prolific offenders and communities identified by law enforcement had a significant presence on the darknet,” the IOCTA states before pointing to the takedown of AlphaBay and Hansa, two of the largest darknet markets, in a joint operation with the FBI, DEA and Dutch National Police last year.

Meanwhile, payment fraud, including attacks on bank networks to manipulate card balances and take control of ATMs, has also been highlighted as one of the most serious emerging threats in this area.

The lack of an EU-wide law criminalizing possession of stolen cards is seen as an obstacle to fully combating this type of fraud.

Cyberattacks across the world have grown ever-larger in scale, inflicting billions of dollars of damage – and the US is spearheading the quest to make hackers pay, wherever they are, sometimes with exceedingly tough jail terms.

The US government is pulling no punches when it comes to prosecuting cyber criminals, often seeking extradition orders and, in most cases, dedicating countless man hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars relentlessly pursuing some of the world’s most notorious hackers.

Its latest catch, though, is a reputed white hat hacker — that is, a ‘good’ security expert whose hacking bears no ill intent. He helped stop a global cyberattack in its tracks, potentially saving the global economy millions of dollars in the process – and is now charged in a separate malware-related case.

Read more about him and others in RT’s list of some of the most notable hackers the US has pursued and attempted to extradite since 2000, with varying degrees of success.

Marcus Hutchins aka ‘MalwareTech’ (2017)

Marcus Hutchins, 23, the young British cybersecurity expert who discovered the kill switch that stopped the global WannaCry ransomware attack, was arrested on August 2 by the FBI at Las Vegas International Airport as he was about to board a flight back to his home in London.

He has been charged in connection with “creating and distributing the Kronos banking trojan,” first discovered in 2014, which targets banking systems and harvests credit card data and private customer information once an email attachment has been opened on a target computer. 

“He admitted he was the author of the code of Kronos malware and indicated he sold it,” prosecutor Dan Cowhig told the federal court.

Hutchins is accused of collaborating with an unnamed co-defendant who maintained and advertised the malware on the now defunct AlphaBay marketplace on the Dark Web. The Malware was sold for $ 3,000 according to the indictment, though IBM researchers saw it advertised with a $ 7,000 price tag.

Hutchins has posted the $ 30,000 bail but Judge Nancy Koppe ordered him to surrender his passport and he has been banned from using devices with internet access upon his release on August 7, according to his attorney, Adrian Lobo, as cited by Reuters.

Lauri Love (2013 – present)

Lauri Love, 32, of dual Finnish-British citizenship is alleged to have hacked the US Federal Reserve Bank, NASA, the US Army, the FBI, and the Environmental Protection Agency, and faces extradition to the US with multiple indictments for arrest spanning three different court districts in three different states.

Love was initially arrested on October 25, 2013 and again on July 15 2015. The UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) tried to force Love to hand over his passwords and encryption keys so it could access his computers that were seized following his initial arrest.

He is currently appealing his extradition, granted by Westminster Magistrates’ Court in September 2016, with a hearing scheduled for November of this year.

Love faces up to 99 years in prison, and would be the first British citizen to be extradited to the US for cyber crimes.

Russian Roman Seleznev aka ‘Track2’/’2pac’/’nCuX’ (2009 – 2013)

The son of a Russian member of parliament, Seleznev, 32, was sentenced to 27 years in prison, a US record for cybercrime, for his role in hacking thousands of US businesses and operating an identity theft ring based in southeast Asia.

He was arrested by the US Secret Service in the Maldives in July 2014.

Seleznev was convicted of hacking into point-of-sale computers to steal credit card information which resulted in up to $ 169 million losses for the 500 businesses that were successfully hacked, Reuters reported.

Moscow viewed Seleznev’s arrest and extradition as ‘kidnapping.’ A Foreign Ministry statement at the time said there had been no contacts with the Russian authorities normally required when a Russian citizen is being extradited. The Maldives don’t have an extradition agreement with the US, but local police helped the Secret Service get him anyway.

“This message the United States sent today is not the right way to show Vladimir Putin, Russia or any other government in this world how justice works in a democracy,” Seleznev wrote in a statement following his sentencing.

Seleznev also faces separate federal charges which are pending in both Nevada and Georgia.

Vladimir Drinkman (2005 – 2012)

Vladimir Drinkman, 34, of Syktyvkar, Russia and four co-conspirators allegedly stole more than 160 million credit card numbers in what US authorities described at the time as the “largest known data breach conspiracy ever prosecuted.”

He and his crew hacked into the databases of companies such as NASDAQ, 7-Eleven, Carrefour, JCP, Hannaford, Heartland, Wet Seal, Commidea, Dexia, JetBlue, Dow Jones, Euronet, Visa Jordan, Global Payment, Diners Singapore, and Ingenicard, among others.

Drinkman was arrested in the Netherlands on June 28, 2012 and extradited to New Jersey in 2015.

“This hacking ring’s widespread attacks on American companies caused serious harm and more than $ 300 million in losses to people and businesses in the United States,” said Assistant Attorney General Caldwell.

Drinkman faces up to 30 years in federal prison. He was originally due to be sentenced in June but the verdict has been delayed until September 22.

Gary McKinnon aka ‘Solo’ (2001 – 2002)

McKinnon, 51, from Scotland was accused of hacking almost 100 US military and NASA computers over 13 months between 2001 and 2002.

He is perhaps most famous for his brazen taunt of the US military following a hack which shut down the Army’s network of 2,000 computers for a 24-hour period. A message that read “Your security is crap” was displayed on the military’s website. US authorities estimated the cost of the hack at $ 700,000.

In 2012, then-UK Home Secretary Theresa May ruled that McKinnon would not be extradited to the US given that he, like Lauri Love would be later, had been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and was at risk of committing suicide.

McKinnon also claimed to have uncovered evidence of a secret US Navy Space program during his hacks.

In addition, McKinnon says he unearthed a massive government conspiracy to photoshop proof of aliens here on Earth out of images and video, as well as a major cover-up of alien technology such as antigravity and zero-point (read: free) energy.

“A NASA photographic expert said that there was a Building 8 at Johnson Space Center where they regularly airbrushed out images of UFOs from the high-resolution satellite imaging,” McKinnon told Wired in a 2006 interview.

Marcel Lehel aka ‘Guccifer’/‘Small Fume’ (2012 – 2014)

Marcel Lehel, 44, was indicted on nine counts including three counts of accessing protected computers. He was arrested in Bucharest in January 2014 and an 18-month temporary extradition order to the US was approved by Romania’s top court, Reuters reported.

He posted unofficial emails sent to former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as artwork produced by former US President George W. Bush, including self-portraits in the bathtub, online.

He stands accused of hacking “into the email and social media accounts of high-profile victims, including a family member of two former U.S. presidents, a former U.S. Cabinet member, a former member of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and a former presidential advisor,” according to a federal indictment.

It is unclear what kind of punishment awaits Lehel if found guilty.

Michael Flynn, being a renowned security expert, was fairly compensated for appearing as a featured speaker at a forum in Washington, DC, the Russian cybersecurity company who organized the event has said.

“Kaspersky Lab’s subsidiary… paid Gen. Flynn a speaker fee for remarks at the 2015 Government Cybersecurity Forum in Washington, DC, which brought together leading government, military, technology and policy experts to discuss the challenges and solutions for cybersecurity threats facing the government and related industries,” Kaspersky Lab said in a statement.

The world’s leading cybersecurity firm did not comment on leaked details of Flynn’s paid appearance, already dissected by the US media, but firmly rejected any reports seeking links with “Russian intelligence” on the grounds of Kaspersky Lab being a “Russian entity.”

“As a private company, Kaspersky Lab has no ties to any government, but the company is proud to collaborate with the authorities of many countries, as well as international law enforcement agencies in the fight against cybercrime,” the cybersecurity company emphasized.

Earlier this week, the House Oversight Committee apparently leaked documents it had obtained from Flynn’s speaker’s bureau, Leading Authorities, to the US media. The documents revealed that Flynn received over $ 56,000 in payments from a number of Russian companies, namely Kaspersky Lab, Volga-Dnepr Airlines and RT, for delivering several speeches in 2015.

While being a volunteer military adviser on Trump’s presidential campaign, the retired General Flynn did not hold any government position at the time of these speaking engagements and participated in the events as an expert and a private citizen.

“In August 2015 Volga Dnepr Unique AirCargo company, registered in the US, in cooperation with another American company Battle Born Munitions, sponsored a conference on security issues in Middle East and Africa in Washington, DC,” the Volga Dnepr corporation said in a statement, cited by RIA Novosti.

“General Flynn was a retired officer when the conference was held, he was not on Trump’s campaign team, and his eventual appointment as the National Security Advisor, obviously, could not have been the reason of this invitation as a speaker to the event.”

Flynn also made a paid appearance at an international conference hosted by RT in Moscow in December 2015. While neither RT nor Flynn ever made a secret of his paid appearance at the conference, as the event was widely publicized, some media outlets gleefully jumped on the story as an alleged proof of his ties with Moscow.

“I pity General Flynn, being plucked as a chicken by the entire American mainstream media grinder,” RT’s editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said about some media making a scandal out of nothing.

“Flynn, in fact, did not do anything that numerous generals, experts, professors, former presidents, prime ministers won’t do. He takes part in conferences, gives lectures, and, obviously, receives a fee for doing so just like everybody else. And his honoraria, to be honest, are far from the highest at this market and among the people of his rank.”

However, the most amazing and disturbing yet not so surprising detail in this story is that confidential correspondence was so straightforwardly leaked to the US media, Simonyan added.

“Details of confidential correspondence and contracts , which should be protected by law, are in the media. As you can see, in this war everything, every weapon is being used,” Simonyan said.

The fact that the US media got hold of confidential information and disclosed it was a “bit disconcerting,” as it blatantly violated privacy, RT’s press service said earlier, stressing that the issue speaker fees are totally legal and common practice. According to head of communications, Anna Belkina, RT will look in “greater detail” into how exactly the information was leaked.

Microsoft has announced a new initiative aimed at selling its cybersecurity smarts to public sector bodies across Latin America.

The Cybersecurity Engagement Center, located in Mexico, represents part of a growing push by Microsoft to position itself as a security-focused company — which is crucial in an age where enterprises and public sector organizations are increasingly shifting to the cloud.

Indeed, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has made no secret of the fact that it’s striving to create “the intelligent cloud platform,” and would be one of its key investment areas. Microsoft has made a number of notable cybersecurity acquisitions to bolster its in-house expertise as it cements its position as a cloud company.

Back in 2015, Microsoft announced a new Cyber Defence Operations Center, which it touted as a “state-of-the-art facility” that would serve as home for security experts who would “protect, detect, and respond to threats in real time.” And Microsoft’s latest initiative very much feeds into that broader push, albeit with a specific focus on Latin America. Though it will provide some support to companies and citizens, the center will focus more on supporting government in their fight against cybercrime.

“This new center will work together with Microsoft’s Cybercrime Center in Redmond, Washington,” said Jean-Philippe Courtois, executive vice president and president for Microsoft global sales, marketing, and operations. “The objective is to help companies and governments with security solutions, which help them in their digital transformation through the international support of the intelligence, data analysis, avant-garde forensics and legal strategies that we offer.”

Through the new facility, Microsoft says it will focus on “dismantling criminal organizations” that use botnets to spread malware or compromise companies’ online security. It will also serve as an HQ for training activities for the public sector and local authorities.

“By opening this Cybersecurity Center, we are offering our clients protection from attacks and security risks, as well as ways to detect them and find solutions,” added Jorge Silva, general manager of Microsoft Mexico.
