Adversaries don’t work 9-5 and neither do we. At eSentire, our 24/7 SOCs are staffed with Elite Threat Hunters and Cyber Analysts who hunt, investigate, contain and respond to threats within minutes.
We have discovered some of the most dangerous threats and nation state attacks in our space – including the Kaseya MSP breach and the more_eggs malware.
Our Security Operations Centers are supported with Threat Intelligence, Tactical Threat Response and Advanced Threat Analytics driven by our Threat Response Unit – the TRU team.
In TRU Positives, eSentire’s Threat Response Unit (TRU) provides a summary of a recent threat investigation. We outline how we responded to the confirmed threat and what recommendations we have going forward.
Here’s the latest from our TRU Team…
In November 2023, our Threat Response Unit (TRU) observed an AiTM (Adversary in the Middle) phishing campaign targeting eSentire employees.
The source IP from the email headers is 210.131.4.99. Some phishing emails have originated from the IP address since 2019. (Figure 2). The IP belongs to NIFCLOUD, which is an email service provider based in Japan.
The attacker used the names of employees as the senders to impersonate them in phishing emails. It appeared as if the employees had received emails from themselves, but the emails actually originated from the elef.co[.]jp domain.
The received phishing emails contained the following attachment names:
The source code of the landing page is obfuscated, where the first string within “eval” contains the code responsible for decrypting the second string (“encrypted data”), as shown in Figure 3.
Here is the brief overview of how the decryption works:
Finally, we get the decrypted script, as shown in Figure 4.
If the email address is assigned under the variable “plkermsdnjhteujqowdadfkcvadfafjasdask,” the phishing landing page will automatically parse the email in the login form when the user opens the HTML attachment.
From Figure 4, you can see an additional external JavaScript script that appears to be obfuscated.
Upon de-obfuscating the script, we get the script responsible for parsing and sending the user’s entered credentials to the attacker’s server.
Figure 6 is the function to validate the entered email address; it first checks it against a regular expression that checks if the string entered by the user matches the standard format of an email address, then it sends it to the attacker’s server for verification.
If it returns “error’ status, the user gets the “We couldn't find an account with that username. Try another account” message.
If the email verification succeeds, the user will be prompted to enter the password. As seen in Figure 7 below, “#prt2” shows the password input section.
If the user enters correct credentials, the entered data is sent to the attacker’s server, and they get an MFA prompt (Figure 8). You can read how an attacker can bypass an MFA here.
The snippet in Figure 9 shows how the code handles user verification through multiple methods (SMS, OTP, voice call, app notification), which is as part of a multi-factor authentication process.
In Figure 10, you can see the data sent to attacker’s server including token information, OTP code, user email address, and password.
It’s worth noting that the snippet of user verification (Figures 9-10) resembles the code used for verification in Tycoon Phishing kit (Figure 11).
After investigating further, we found over 3000 phishing landing pages using URLScan, as shown in Figure 12.
The eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) blocked the attacker's Command and Control (C2) IP addresses. TRU also conducted threat hunting to assess the exposure and ensured that the users did not disclose any credentials.
