The ransomware activity was observed in several Arctic Wolf Incident Response cases, each exhibiting similar elements. All victim organizations were located in the United States, 80% of which were in the education sector and 20% in the recreation sector. We are sharing details of this emerging variant to help organizations defend against this threat. Please note that we may add further detail to this article as we uncover additional information in our ongoing investigation. ABOUT FOG RANSOMWARE Starting in early May, the Arctic Wolf Incident Response team began investigating cases involving the deployment of the Fog ransomware variant against US organizations in the education and recreation sectors. We refer to Fog as a ransomware variant rather than a group to distinguish between the entities responsible for creating the encryptor software and those conducting the hands-on-keyboard attacks against victims. This is a critical distinction because ransomware groups sometimes project an image of being a singular group when they are in fact composed of independent affiliate groups. At this time, the organizational structure of the group or groups responsible for carrying out attacks deploying Fog ransomware is unknown. In each of the cases investigated, forensic evidence indicated that threat actors were able to access victim environments by leveraging compromised VPN credentials. Notably, the remote access occurred through two separate VPN gateway vendors. The last documented threat activity in our cases occurred on May 23, 2024. Early in one of the cases, pass-the-hash activity was observed against administrator accounts which were subsequently used to establish RDP connections to Windows Servers running Hyper-V and Veeam. In another case, evidence of credential stuffing was observed, which was thought to facilitate lateral movement throughout the environment. In all cases, PsExec was deployed to several hosts, and RDP/SMB were used to access targeted hosts. On Windows Servers that the threat actors interacted with, Windows Defender was disabled by the threat actors. Threat actors were observed encrypting VMDK files in VM storage and deleting backups from object storage in Veeam. Threat actors left behind ransom notes on affected systems and deployed a functionally identical ransomware payload in all cases. Other than a unique chat code, the ransom notes were identical. Other than the .onion address used for communication between the victim and threat actor, we have not observed an additional dark web presence such as a data leak site. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS RANSOMWARE PAYLOAD The ransomware encryptor binary exhibits common techniques that are typically leveraged in other ransomware variants. The samples we analyzed from different cases contained many similarities, including identical functional code blocks and instructions, indicating that they were compiled from the same source code. When the sample first executes, it attempts to create a new file called DbgLog.sys in the special directory %AppData%. The DbgLog.sys file is populated with log lines indicating the status and error conditions of the ransomware as each technique is executed. During the initialization routine, the sample references NTDLL.DLL and the function NtQuerySystemInformation. Notably, the NT API is part of the Windows internal APIs and is typically recommended not to be called directly since it can change with each version of Windows. The NtQuerySystemInformation function allows the caller to obtain information about the current system’s physical details such as the number of logical processors available. This information can be useful when determining how many threads the multi-threaded encryption routine should allocate. Once the initialization routine is complete, the command line arguments are checked for specific options: * NOMUTEX: Does not create a mutex, this will allow multiple versions of the ransomware to execute at the same time. * TARGET: Specific location to begin discovery. * CONSOLE: Create a new console window for the calling process and attach the standard output and error. Further customization is present in the sample via a JSON based configuration block. The following configurable options will control what activities takes place pre and post encryption: * RSAPubKey: Embedded public key used for encryption * LockedExt: Post encryption file extension * NotefileName: Name of the ransomware note * ShutdownProcesses: Ensures the processes are terminated prior to encrypting * ShutdownServices: Ensures the services are stopped prior to encrypting Volumes, network resources, and files are discovered using the standard Windows APIs such as: FindFirstVolume, WNetOpenEnum and FindFirstFile. The Unicode variants of these functions were used in each case. Using the system information discovered earlier, the sample configures a thread pool dedicated to encrypting all the discovered files. This thread pool uses the logical processor information with a minimum number of two processors and a maximum number of sixteen processors. The deprecated Windows APIs for CryptImportKey and the CryptEncrypt are called during the process. Once the encryption is complete, the file extension is added to each file using the Unicode version of the MoveFile Windows API and the LockedExt option, in the cases observed the extensions .FOG and .FLOCKED were configured. A ransom note is written to the disk using the configured Notefilename option located in the configuration block, in the cases observed the note file was named readme.txt. Before the sample terminates, the volume shadow copy is deleted by creating a new process via the CreateProcess function with the command line: vssadmin.exe delete shadows /all /quiet. By deleting the volume shadow copy using the /all switch, the sample will delete all the specified volume’s shadow copies, and the /quiet switch will ensure no messages are displayed during the deletion.

The threat actor leveraged PsExec to move laterally and execute commands. Metasploit Penetration testing framework. Metasploit usage was detected against a Veaam server. SoftPerfect Network Scanner Network administration tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The threat actor used SoftPerfect to discover network services. Advanced Port Scanner Free network and port scanner. The threat actor used Advanced Port Scanner to discover network services. SharpShares An open-source tool used to enumerate accessible network shares. The threat actor used SharpShares v2.3 to discover network shares. Veeam-Get-Creds.ps1 An open-source PowerShell script used by the threat actor to obtain passwords from the Veeam Backup and Replication Credentials Manager HOW ARCTIC WOLF PROTECTS ITS CUSTOMERS Arctic Wolf is committed to ending cyber risk with its customers, and when active ransomware campaigns are identified we move quickly to protect our customers. Arctic Wolf Labs has leveraged threat intelligence around Fog ransomware to implement new detections in the Arctic Wolf Platform to protect Managed Detection and Response (MDR) customers. As we discover any new information, we will enhance our detections to account for additional indicators of compromise and techniques leveraged by this threat actor. CONCLUSION While few details are known about the threat actors involved, the shared functional code blocks between ransomware payloads suggest that the same source code was shared between the payloads. This may implicate the involvement of a common entity between the cases. On the other hand, despite similarities, evidence tying together the cases under a single threat actor is not conclusive. The threat actors in the cases described here show an interest in rapid encryption of VM storage data and ransom payment for decryption of that data. Diverging from common practice in most ransomware intrusions, the threat actors were not observed to exfiltrate data from hosts being encrypted. Considering the short duration between initial intrusion and encryption, the threat actors appear more interested in a quick payout as opposed to exacting a more complex attack involving data exfiltration and a high-profile leak site. This evidence, along with known victimology, suggests that the threat actors are financially motivated and primarily target the education sector. Although the tactics employed in these cases are fairly typical of ransomware activity, these threats serve as a reminder of the importance of secure, off-site backup infrastructure and defense-in-depth to render attacks impotent as early as possible.
