Unpacking the unpleasant FIN7 gift: PackXOR
In early July 2024, the Sentinel Labs researchers released an extensive article1 about “FIN7 reboot” tooling, notably introducing “AvNeutralizer”, an anti-EDR tool. This tool has been found in the wild as a packed payload. In this article, we offer a thorough analysis of the associated private packer that we named “PackXOR”, as well as an unpacking tool. Additionally, while investigating the packer usage, we determined that PackXOR might not be exclusively leveraged by FIN7.

Russian Military Cyber Actors Target US and Global Critical Infrastructure
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and National Security Agency (NSA) assess that cyber actors affiliated with the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) 161st Specialist Training Center (Unit 29155) are responsible for computer network operations against global targets for the purposes of espionage, sabotage, and reputational harm since at least 2020. GRU Unit 29155 cyber actors began deploying the destructive WhisperGate malware against multiple Ukrainian victim organizations as early as January 13, 2022. These cyber actors are separate from other known and more established GRU-affiliated cyber groups, such as Unit 26165 and Unit 74455.
YubiKeys are vulnerable to cloning attacks thanks to newly discovered side channel
Sophisticated attack breaks security assurances of the most popular FIDO key. The YubiKey 5, the most widely used hardware token for two-factor authentication based on the FIDO standard, contains a cryptographic flaw that makes the finger-size device vulnerable to cloning when an attacker gains temporary physical access to it, researchers said Tuesday. The cryptographic flaw, known as a side channel, resides in a small microcontroller used in a large number of other authentication devices, including smartcards used in banking, electronic passports, and the accessing of secure areas. While the researchers have confirmed all YubiKey 5 series models can be cloned, they haven’t tested other devices using the microcontroller, such as the SLE78 made by Infineon and successor microcontrollers known as the Infineon Optiga Trust M and the Infineon Optiga TPM. The researchers suspect that any device using any of these three microcontrollers and the Infineon cryptographic library contains the same vulnerability.

Making progress on routing security: the new White House roadmap
On September 3, 2024, the White House published a report on Internet routing security. We’ll talk about what that means and how you can help. The Internet can feel like magic. When you load a webpage in your browser, many simultaneous requests for data fly back and forth to remote servers. Then, often in less than one second, a website appears. Many people know that DNS is used to look up a hostname, and resolve it to an IP address, but fewer understand how data flows from your home network to the network that controls the IP address of the web server.

Government Emails at Risk: Critical Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Roundcube Webmail
- Sonar’s Vulnerability Research Team recently discovered a critical Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Roundcube, a popular open-source webmail software. When a victim views a malicious email in Roundcube sent by an attacker, the attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. Attackers can abuse the vulnerability to steal emails, contacts, and the victim's email password as well as send emails from the victim's account. In October 2023, ESET Research reported that a similar vulnerability was actively used by the APT group Winter Vivern to attack European government entities. Roundcube administrators should update to the patched version 1.6.8 or 1.5.8 as soon as possible. * All discovered issues are tracked as CVE-2024-42008, CVE-2024-42009, CVE-2024-42010.

Behind the arrest of Telegram boss, a small Paris cybercrime unit with big ambitions
- Durov's arrest marks a shift in dealing with tech chiefs Brousse's unit goes after its biggest ever target Legal experts question the prosecution's argument The investigation into Telegram boss Pavel Durov that has fired a warning shot to global tech titans was started by a small cybercrime unit within the Paris prosecutor's office, led by 38-year-old Johanna Brousse. The arrest of Durov, 39, last Saturday marks a significant shift in how some global authorities may seek to deal with tech chiefs reluctant to police illegal content on their platforms. The arrest signalled the mettle of the J3 cybercrime unit, but the true test of its ambitions will be whether Brousse can secure a conviction based on a largely untested legal argument, lawyers said.
Après un ransomware, l'université Paris-Saclay lance un site provisoire

Cybercriminals operating ransomware as a service from overseas continue to be responsible for most high-profile cybercrime attacks against the UK
The deployment of ransomware remains the greatest serious and organised cybercrime threat, the largest cybersecurity threat, and also poses a risk to the UK’s national security. Ransomware attacks can have a significant impact on victims due to financial, data, and service losses, which can lead to business closure, inaccessible public services, and compromised customer data. Threat actors are typically based in overseas jurisdictions where limited cooperation makes it challenging for UK law enforcement to disrupt their activities.
