NEW TODDYCAT HACKER GROUP ON EXPERTS' RADAR AFTER TARGETING MS EXCHANGE SERVERS
#CYBERSECURITY

#HackerNews

An advanced persistent threat (APT) actor codenamed ToddyCat has been linked to
a string of attacks aimed at high-profile entities in Europe and Asia since at
least December 2020.

The relatively new adversarial collective is said to have commenced its
operations by targeting Microsoft Exchange servers in Taiwan and Vietnam using
an unknown exploit to deploy the China Chopper web shell and activate a
multi-stage infection chain.

Other prominent countries targeted include Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Iran,
Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia, Slovakia, Thailand, the U.K., and
Uzbekistan, just as the threat actor evolved its toolset over the course of
different campaigns.

"The first wave of attacks exclusively targeted Microsoft Exchange Servers,
which were compromised with Samurai, a sophisticated passive backdoor that
usually works on ports 80 and 443," Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky said
in a report published today.

"The malware allows arbitrary C# code execution and is used with multiple
modules that allow the attacker to administrate the remote system and move
laterally inside the targeted network."

ToddyCat, also tracked under the moniker Websiic by Slovak cybersecurity firm
ESET, first came to light in March 2021 for its exploitation of ProxyLogon
Exchange flaws to target email servers belonging to private companies in Asia
and a governmental body in Europe.

The attack sequence post the deployment of the China Chopper web shell leads to
the execution of a dropper that, in turn, is used to make Windows Registry
modifications to launch a second-stage loader, which, for its part, is designed
to trigger a third-stage .NET loader that's responsible for running Samurai.

The backdoor, besides using techniques like obfuscation and control flow
flattening to make it resistant to reverse engineering, is modular in that it
the components make it possible to execute arbitrary commands and exfiltrate
files of interest from the compromised host.

Also observed in specific incidents is a sophisticated tool named Ninja that's
spawned by the Samurai implant and likely functions as a collaborative tool
allowing multiple operators to work on the same machine simultaneously.

Its feature similarities to other post-exploitation toolkits like Cobalt Strike
notwithstanding, the malware enables the attacker to "control remote systems,
avoid detection, and penetrate deep inside a targeted network."

Despite the fact that ToddyCat victims are related to countries and sectors
traditionally targeted by Chinese-speaking groups, there is no evidence tying
the modus operandi to a known threat actor.

"ToddyCat is a sophisticated APT group that uses multiple techniques to avoid
detection and thereby keeps a low profile," Kaspersky security researcher
Giampaolo Dedola said.

"The affected organizations, both governmental and military, show that this
group is focused on very high-profile targets and is probably used to achieve
critical goals, likely related to geopolitical interests."
