Computer Security Beware: New Phishing Attacks Target LinkedIn Users


BEWARE: NEW PHISHING ATTACKS TARGET LINKEDIN USERS

By GoldSparrow in Computer Security

Svenska Türkçe हिन्दी 日本語 汉语 漢語


The global economy has been seriously upset by the Covid-19 pandemic and the
aftershocks can still be felt through many industries and sectors. A lot of
people lost their jobs in the shifting conditions and, logically, a lot of them
went on LinkedIn to look for new opportunities.



Bad actors are always on the lookout for new opportunities as well, and they saw
this influx of LinkedIn hits as one such opportunity. Security researchers
working with detection and response cybersecurity company eSentire recently
reported a new phishing campaign that was targeting LinkedIn users with sneaky
and dangerous malware.




FILELESS MALWARE POSES SIGNIFICANT THREAT

According to eSentire experts, the threat group behind the new campaign is
called Golden Chickens. The malware they use in this new phishing campaign
delivered through LinkedIn messages is, fittingly, called "more_eggs".

Suggested for You


#1 REASON WHY YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER FROM MALWARE

The Web can be dangerous. It is essential to have an anti-malware software to
help protect against the latest malware. Are you're infected with malware?

Policy. * See Free Trial offer below. EULA and Privacy/Cookie Policy.

More_eggs is a fileless malware that abuses legitimate Windows processes and
feeds them functions and specific instructions stored in scripts. This makes it
particularly difficult to detect.



Another notable thing about this campaign is that it is not like most blanket
phishing attempts, where millions of emails are sent out to potentially millions
of active users. The approach used here is much more targeted and can be called
spear phishing - an attack that uses visually credible names and approaches that
are much more likely to lure in the victim and get them to click the malicious
file.




The messages sent to LinkedIn users inboxes were very specific and contained the
real job they last occupied, together with the word "position" appended at the
back, implying a real job offer for the same spot. This alone makes for a very
believable lure and it seems this targeted approach is working.



The malicious file used by more_eggs is a zip that, once opened, quietly deploys
the malware. Once infected, the system is open to the thread actors behind the
malware and additional malicious payloads can be downloaded and deployed
remotely.




"MALWARE-AS-A-SERVICE" MAKES A RETURN

This recent more_eggs campaign is also not conducted by the Golden Chickens
group itself. eSentire informs that the threat actor is rather selling or
licensing out the malware to third party bad actors and operating it as a
service. This concept is not revolutionary or new but the fact that big threat
actor names such as Colabt Group are using more_eggs shows that it is working
well for the hackers.



The experts working with eSentire singled out a number of threat indicators
specific to more_eggs. Those include the C&C beacon, the zip file's hash and the
download server used by more_eggs:

 * C&C beacon: d27qdop2sa027t.cloudfront[.]net
 * Zip file hash: 776c355a89d32157857113a49e516e74
 * Server: ec2-13-58-146-177.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws[.]com

The SpyHunter Trial version includes, for one device, a one-time 7-day Trial

these Terms, your agreement to EULA/TOS, Privacy/Cookie Policy, and Discount
Terms. If you wish to uninstall SpyHunter, learn how.

For payment on the automatic renewal of your subscription, an email reminder
will be sent to the email address you provided when you registered before your
next payment date. At the onset of your trial, you will receive an activation
code that is limited to use for only one Trial and for only one device per
account. Your subscription will automatically renew at the price and for the
subscription period in accordance with the offering materials and
registration/purchase page terms (which are incorporated herein by reference;
pricing may vary by country per purchase page details), provided that you are a
continuous, uninterrupted subscription user. For paid subscription users, if you
cancel, you will continue to have access to your product(s) until the end of
your paid subscription period. If you wish to receive a refund for your then
current subscription period, you must cancel and apply for a refund within 30
days of your most recent purchase, and you will immediately stop receiving full
functionality when your refund is processed.
