Weekly Threat Intelligence Report
Date: June 24, 2024
Prepared by: David Brunsdon, Threat Intelligence - Security Engineer, HYAS
Malware developers will use all sorts of techniques to obfuscate their C2 location and keep security analysts from being able to understand the operation of their malware. One common technique is to have the malware communicate with a popular online service, such as Pastebin, where the malware will contact a URL that responds with the IP address of the C2 server. This type of design keeps the C2 address out of the malware, and allows the C2 operator to change or remove the C2 destination as needed. If the right service is chosen, then this request might go unnoticed because it’s seen as regular traffic.
We detonated a malware sample on Windows 7 that was identified as containing both StealC and Vidar, and we found the same technique being used on the gaming platform, Steam. In this case, the malware requests the page of a specific user account. The steam user account name contains the IP address of a component of the C2 infrastructure. Steam even shows a history of the username, so we can see previous IPs that have existed in this field.
Steam is an interesting choice as a vector for retrieving a C2 destination because it’s a gaming platform that isn’t typically used on corporate infrastructure, except perhaps in gaming companies. It is commonly used in residential communications however. A more traditional choice would be a service that is typically seen within an organization's network traffic, like a Microsoft service.
Although a direct relationship has not been confirmed, Vidar is a stealer known to be used by Scattered Spider, aka UNC3944. They are a criminal organization responsible for many high profile victims, including MGM Grand, Caesars, Snowflake, LastPass, Apple, Walmart, and Zendesk. Recently the head of the organization was arrested by the FBI, but their operations continue.

With the number of cyber threats on the rise, no sector is truly safe from serious fallout. Banks and financial services firms in particular are obvious targets for threat actors that know which targets are most lucrative. When you have computer systems dealing with millions — or even billions — of (often other people’s) dollars, could you be any more enticing?
Luckily, even the most sophisticated ransomware attacks and phishing campaigns are not invulnerable. In fact, pioneering cyber threat intelligence tools powered with the right data can stop those responsible for cybercrime in the financial sector a lot easier.
There’s no shortage of researchable financial cybercrime on the internet. We’ve picked out four popular attack vectors targeting major financial sector institutions every day and compiled (4) use cases that details how HYAS identifies and stops them.
Download the use cases
When threat actors target financial institutions using ransomware, they deploy it via multiple IP addresses. (If they use a single IP address, cybersecurity monitors pick it up too easily.)
Workstations infected by ransomware communicate with attackers’ command and control infrastructure (also called C&C and C2), which is a requirement for conducting a successful cyber attack. Cybersecurity professionals rely on this telemetry — data obtained from networks and analyzed for monitoring network security — which typically confirms what IP addresses the threat actors are likely to use in the attack as part of their C2.
To prevent cyber attacks wreaking havoc and causing fallout for organizations, cybersecurity professionals monitor the domain name system (DNS), which is increasingly used by cyber criminals for these nefarious ends.
Passive DNS — automatic, continuous monitoring of potential threats — is (and should be) a feature of complete DNS protection solutions. Most people don’t tend to read or type IP addresses like they do domain names. IP addresses are domain names that have been translated so computers communicating with each other can read and understand them. This process of translation is known as resolution: DNS resolves to IPs. As such, if you can identify domain names used by attackers, then pivot to their (domain name) registration details, you’re able to gain valuable C2 data in helping thwart attacks.
Using passive DNS is an essential tool for tracking bad actors. Searches on particular IP addresses reveal the locations around the world as the sources of those addresses, but passive DNS shows the domain names that have resolved to the specific address. This provides context for IP addresses so that cybersecurity professionals can see how threat actors are using their C2.
Passive DNS tools can also provide information about C2 attribution: Other cybersecurity teams provide data that identifies C2 infrastructure, which then alerts all teams looking at a particular likely threat actor that there is definitive nefarious activity going on. It also provides threat intelligence teams with bad actor IP addresses to pivot off from C2 domains used by these actors.
Financial institutions and their customers are no strangers to phishing campaigns. Cyber attackers using this method frequently employ misspelled domains luring unsuspecting users to malicious corners of the internet. And with so many banks in the U.S. alone, it’s all too easy to impersonate even mid-sized outfits while convincing the unfortunate of their veracity.
Trying to establish phishing campaign culprits, cybersecurity professionals often rely on WHOIS — an internet protocol used to query databases about domain names. Traditional WHOIS data is rarely useful for stopping modern cyber attacks. And thanks to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) introduced in 2018 — and which tightly controls privacy — it’s generally now even harder to obtain useful data.
HYAS Insight provides results for domain registrations that other solutions can easily miss. It’s then possible to pivot to other domains registered by the same bad actor.
Due to strong European privacy protection laws, threat actors can easily hide behind GDPR-masked domain data: that which, under GDPR, would not normally be viewable. HYAS Insight can still pivot off masked domain registration to uncover hosts of phishing domains utilized by threat actors. Sometimes phishers register hundreds of domains with a single email address. Successful identification can ultimately uncover huge phishing campaigns.
IP addresses are usually allocated dynamically to users by internet service providers. But DuckDNS is a dynamic DNS provider that gives everyone — normal users and bad actors — more freedom and control over their own IP addresses. It’s free to link addresses to domain names with DuckDNS, making it perfectly enticing for those with nefarious ends.
Phishing attacks are probably one of the biggest threats financial institutions and their customers or clients face. It should therefore come as no surprise that cybercriminals conducting phishing attacks on those organizations naturally gravitate towards using DuckDNS to send malicious emails to financial institution customers to trick them into providing their login credentials on fake websites.
Crucially, HYAS Insight provides additional useful information about DNS registration which helps teams locate threat actors by mapping them to IP addresses anywhere in the world. Even if domain registrees are located elsewhere when they register, DuckDNS still logs their actual IP addresses. It turns out that DuckDNS is very much a double-edged sword for threat actors, and yet another mode of defense for those monitoring threats.
Threat actors utilizing several different IP addresses can also prove a boon for threat intelligence teams in terms of locating where they’re operating from.
Bad actors might register numerous domains connected to services like DuckDNS, rather than just one. But single IP addresses can also be registered multiple times by different actors. If these actors are located all over the world, tracking operations is more difficult.
However, HYAS Insight can provide highly accurate data on the geolocation of trackable IP addresses — wherever they are. Pivoting off given searches is possible but not necessary. When bad actors register dynamic DNS addresses, HYAS obtains the IP addresses used during the registration process. It can then pinpoint clusters of hits for registered domains within approximately one meter of accuracy.
Threat and fraud researchers and investigators in the financial industry can easily build up dossiers of attacks to take to and promptly notify relevant law enforcement agencies. We have unique data. And being able to pivot from one data point to another data point, especially when we’ve got unique data, becomes extremely valuable.
HYAS Insight offers threat intelligence, data point pivoting and unique data capabilities invaluable for financial organizations who want to stop the myriad cyber threats that they face. The ability to uncover domain registrations not available to most other cybersecurity solution providers delivers the whole financial sector with the confidence to conduct business operations in the face of malware attacks and phishing campaigns.
Pivoting from single suspicious domains and IP addresses can ultimately uncover vast campaigns designed to destabilize business purely for financial gain. But organizations armed with relevant, unparalleled insight can ensure that bad actors don’t get far.

What is adversary infrastructure? Cybersecurity experts often call it command and control or C2 for short. Communication streams with adversary infrastructure are the telltale signs of an active breach, the digital exhaust that emanates from an attack.
Fundamentally, adversary infrastructure is the sub-rosa backbone bad actors set up when in advance prior to compromising a system — it’s used for instructions, to facilitate malware updates, for data exfiltration, and in general across all phases of the attack.
There are many kinds of cyber attacks: supply chain attacks, zero-day, BEC, insider-risk, and even abusing Google ads to phish and spread malware. Regardless of how or where the bad guys break in, however, they need to communicate with their adversary infrastructure to command, control and direct their attacks.
And the unfortunate reality of today is that everyone will be breached at some point — truly, no one is immune. It doesn’t matter if you are a large company or a small company, if you think you have sensitive data or not. And despite massive spending, most cybersecurity solutions on the market don’t really solve the problem. Ransomware attacks alone increased by 430% last year.
We need a different approach. Often solving a problem requires looking at it from a completely different angle. Rather than hoping you can prevent each and every new attack, why not understand how attacks work and make the organization able to detect the telltale signs and thus be resilient against them?
Regardless of the attack vector or technique, bad actors always leave “exhaustive” telltale trails in their wake - aka“digital exhaust.” By studying their moves, and realizing that their command-and-control must be created prior to their attack, a fundamental understanding of adversary infrastructure can not only make an organization resilient against digital risk but stop bad actors in their tracks.
Read on to learn how and why a proactive approach is the only way to protect and prevent cyberattacks.
The first step of an attack is the breach – breaking into the organization. The bad actor might crack a password or steal someone’s credentials. Maybe they phished an employee. Regardless of how they broke in, they always send a signal out to confirm they’re in, get instructions, and continue the attack: Hey, I’m alive. I’m here. What do you want me to do?
Some of the most notorious, headline-grabbing cyberattacks in recent years use this tactic with a twist: The SolarWinds attackers, for example, penetrated thousands of organizations and installed Sunburst malware in their systems. But they didn’t immediately ask for instructions. The malware laid low for 15 days before it woke up and alerted the criminals that it was ready to wreak havoc. And it did, with privilege escalation, lateral motion and data exfiltration — all of which utilized instructions between the hackers outside the enterprise and the malware lurking within.
Those instructions are sent to adversary infrastructure, also known as attacker infrastructure.
Regardless of the attack vector or technique, bad actors always leave “exhaustive” telltale trails in their wake - aka“digital exhaust.” By studying their moves, and realizing that their command-and-control must be created prior to their attack, a fundamental understanding of adversary infrastructure can not only make an organization resilient against digital risk but stop bad actors in their tracks.
When the United States Office of Personnel Management was attacked, it took six months for its security team to discover the breach. In other cases hackers were inside the network for years, stealing data and silently watching. In all these cases, the malware is tuned to covertly phone-home – to the attacker’s adversary infrastructure.
Everyone has lists of external domains that shouldn’t be communicated with, are risky, or fraudulent in some way. There are quite a lot of lists — even the FBI publishes a regular feed of “bad” domains.
Relying solely on domain lists, though, is essentially a hope-based strategy. It’s hoping that the list covers all potential threats and that none slip through the cracks. It’s hoping that your organization updates your defenses with the latest list before the bad actors attempt a breach. However, bad actors continually update their command and control, so it’s almost impossible to maintain an up-to-date list. And given that many of these lists are generated by detonating malware, they are by definition always behind the curve, one step behind the criminals. While it sounds mean, essentially you are hoping that someone else gets attacked before you do, so that your list can be updated in time.
In the world of cybersecurity, hope is not a strategy. Domain lists represent a fundamentally reactive approach to cybersecurity — one that waits for threats to emerge before handling them. Being reactive is not enough. We must be proactive in our approaches to drive any sense of resiliency and confidence.
When we have visibility into the communication going out of an enterprise — and we understand what is and isn’t adversary infrastructure — we can spot the digital exhaust of a breach.
Once we stop that nefarious communication, we render the attack inert. What’s more, we can turn all that digital exhaust metadata into actionable intelligence. By building an Adversary Infrastructure Platform composed of all of this metadata, and putting the raw data into a graph database form, we can understand the fundamentals around verdicts, related infrastructure, and attribution or VRA.
We can understand what new infrastructure is going to be used for nefarious purposes. This lets us break out of the relentless cat-and-mouse game so many of us play and start to actually get proactive against that attack that is being formed, but hasn’t been launched yet.
Think of it this way: If I told you that every Friday afternoon at 4:00 p.m., Jane makes a phone call to a known drug dealer — and those calls happen reliably — you will probably assume that Jane is buying drugs. You don’t need to know the content of their phone conversation.
We can do the exact same thing at a DNS level. More than 90% of malware and attacks use DNS to facilitate their communication with adversary infrastructure (instead of a static IP address). The answer lies in DNS. We don’t need to know exactly what the bad actors talk about at this stage. They can try to obfuscate their methods, but they can’t hide the fact that they’re using infrastructure on the open internet. That infrastructure has to be DNS-routable and therefore publicly visible.
That’s the fatal flaw in their plans. And that’s how we can keep our systems resilient against their onslaught of attacks.
The combination of an Adversary Infrastructure Platform and the knowledge of where communications are going on the internet enables us to get proactive, stay ahead of the curve, and automatically update the defenses before their next attack.
Perhaps best of all, a proactive approach fosters a culture of continuous improvement within cybersecurity teams, encouraging ongoing research and skill development. And if we want to be able to get any sleep at night, we want the ability to run our networks and organizations with confidence that we can protect all aspects of the business and address digital risk, then we need to take a proactive approach and ensure that the defenses remain on the cutting-edge. The bad actors hope that we continue to utilize yesterday’s hope-based strategies; resiliency approaches fundamentally change the game and level the playing field.
