> We’re happy to be invited to give a speech at the ST Engineering InnoTech Conference.


Cybersecurity investment has been at the forefront of most digitisation. Even with more investment into cybersecurity, cyber threats are still skyrocketing. To provide the latest cyber threat trends, TeamT5 CEO, Sung-ting Tsai, will give a talk with the topic “Evolution of Digital Weapons of Chinese APT”. 

The talk will mention that China has deliberately developed their capability in developing digital weapons, including weaponizing N-days or discovering 0days. Hackers from China have dominated Pwn2Own, a world famous computer hacking contest, for several years before 2017. Their achievements were well recognized. Everything changed in 2018 when Chinese authorities banned their security talents from attending overseas hacking contests. It is believed that China wants to limit these undisclosed vulnerabilities from leaking out of China. In the same year, China held their own Tianfu Cup, a Pwn2Own-like contest. A chain of iPhone exploits won the top prize. But this achievement was turned into a weapon and used in cyber attacks against Uyghur, according to Google research. This story demonstrated how China nationalized their security talent's efforts. 

In this talk, we will walk you through exploits utilized in Chinese APT attacks in the past 5 years and analyze the threat actors leveraged these exploits. We will also discuss how these exploits changed TTPs of Chinese APT and the potential reasons behind these changes.

【Speech】 TeamT5 will be at ST Engineering Cybersecurity Summit (Singapore)

資訊安全工具的部署經費一直是企業關鍵支出之一。 然而，即使企業投入更多資訊安全防禦，資安威脅仍舊是企業營運的重大風險來源。

演講中將提到中國有意發展數位武器的能力，包括將 N-day漏洞武器化或挖掘零日漏洞 (zero day vulnerability)。 在2017年之前，中國黑客連續幾年稱霸世界著名資安駭客大賽 Pwn2Own，他們的成績得到了廣泛認可。

到了 2018年，中國當局禁止他們的資安人才參加海外駭客大賽。 據信，中國希望限制這些未公開的漏洞，外流到中國以外的地方。 同年，中國舉辦了自己的天府杯，一場類似 Pwn2Own的比賽。 比賽中，一系列 iPhone 漏洞運用技巧贏得了最高獎項， 但根據 Google 的研究，這一成果被轉化為武器，並用於針對維吾爾族的網路攻擊。這個故事展示了中國如何將其安全人才的努力國有化。
 
而在本次演講中，我們將帶領聽眾了解過去 5 年中國 APT 攻擊中使用的漏洞，並分析利用這些漏洞的威脅行為者。我們還將討論這些漏洞如何改變中國 APT 的戰術、技巧、流程(TTP) 以及這些變化背後的潛在原因。

TeamT5 Joined Interop23 to Introduce Intelligence-Driven Cyber Defense Solutions

TeamT5, a leading cybersecurity firm, has recently published a report to share insights and suggestions on how Japan can face cyber attacks during the G7 Summit in Hiroshima, Japan. TeamT5 suggests enterprises/organizations should have comprehensive control over current events and industry attack trends. Strengthening monitoring and staying updated with the latest intelligence is crucial in order to respond to potential attack incidents.

Due to recent world events, prior to the G7 Hiroshima Summit, which was held May 19-21, Japan experienced a surge in cyberattacks, mainly targeting the Cabinet Offices and the local governments of Osaka, Aichi, Kumamoto, and Nara, as well as companies such as West Japan Railway and Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings.

TeamT5 also identified multiple G7-related attacks.One such attack was a spear-phishing campaign against government entities of G20 countries by GuDiao. TeamT5 identified a G7-themed decoy and GuDiao's proprietary downloader, StartIE in the email. Further analysis of the incident suggested that GuDiao exploited CVE-2023-0669 to compromise a server and use the server as the C2 of this campaign.

How Can Japan Face Cyber Attacks During Major Events? Knowing Industry Attack Dynamics Can Help

台北、2023年6月14日 /TeamT5/ -- サイバーセキュリティのリーディングカンパニーであるチームティーファイブ（TeamT5）は、このほど広島で開催されたG7サミット開催中に、日本がサイバー攻撃に立ち向かうための洞察および提案を共有するレポートを発表しました。 同社は、企業や組織が時事問題や業界の攻撃傾向を包括的に管理する必要があると提案しています。潜在的なインシデントに対応するためには、監視を強化し、最新の情報を入手することが重要です。

5月19日から21日にかけて開催されたG7広島サミットを前に日本では、昨今の世界情勢により、内閣府や大阪、愛知、熊本、奈良の地方自治体、JR西日本や東京電力ホールディングスなどの企業を中心にサイバー攻撃が急増しました。

また、TeamT5では、G7に関連する複数の攻撃を確認しました。 そのひとつが、GuDiaoによるG20諸国の政府機関に対するスピアフィッシング・キャンペーンでした。 TeamT5は、G7を主題にしたデコイ（おとり）と、GuDiaoが独自に開発したダウンローダー「StartIE」を、電子メール内で確認しました。 インシデントのさらなる分析により、GuDiaoはCVE-2023-0669を悪用してサーバーを侵害し、そのサーバーを今回のキャンペーンのC2として使用したことが示唆されました。

In Black Hat Asia 2023, TeamT5’s threat intelligence researchers Yue-Tien Chen and Zih-Cing Liao (aka DuckLL) warn that APT groups spy on the Taiwan media industry.

Based on analysis,  these China-nexus APT groups are Amoeba(aka APT41, Winnti), Huapi (aka BlackTech, PLEAD), Goushe (aka APT23, KeyBoy), SLIME25 (aka APT24), SLIME50, and SLIME51.

For the reason that APT groups spy on the media, we can identify three main motivations: information collection, political relationships, and information operation. The first and most obvious reason is information collection. Media are excellent sources for collecting unique information. If an APT group comprises a media organization, it can quickly get a lot of valuable information.

Secondly, media organizations often have complex political relationships. Besides obtaining political news, the media is also a good resource for social-engineering attacks. Actors can target politicians through their contact channels.

The third motivation is information operation. Fake news is a significant challenge in the information explosion era. Most people still tend to believe news from credible media. If an APT group  comprises a media organization and spreads false information, this may control public opinion, sow discord, and make politics unstable. 

Based on the purpose of the series of Chinese APT attacks, we name it Operation Clairvoyance . Clairvoyance(千里眼) is an ancient Chinese deity with the ability to see things from thousands of miles away.

Our research shows that media companies need to take more approaches to protect their systems and data. We also suggest media companies establish clear policies for handling sensitive data and to ensure that all employees understand and follow them. shows that media companies need to take more approaches to protect their systems and data. We also suggest media companies establish clear policies for handling sensitive data and to ensure that all employees understand and follow them.

【Black Hat Asia 2023】Operation Clairvoyance: How APT Groups Spy on the Media Industry

>TeamT5 杜浦數位安全近期於亞洲最大資安研討會 Black Hat Asia，由威脅情資研究員廖子慶、陳躍天發布最新研究 - 千里眼行動：媒體面臨的 APT 威脅(Operation Clairvoyance: How APT Groups Spy on the Media Industry)，指出中國鎖定台灣媒體公司，進行入侵攻擊，以達到收集獨特資訊、掌握政治人物重要資料，及假冒發新聞等惡意目的。建議媒體公司需要採取更積極的措施來保護自己的系統和數據，包括強化員工資訊安全教育、建立完善的安全控制措施、更新並修補軟體漏洞，以及定期進行漏洞掃描和測試。

本次演講中，TeamT5 分析 APT 族群攻擊媒體主要有三大動機 - 獲得重要資訊、達成政治目的、進行資訊作戰。首先，媒體是一個很好的資訊收集站，能得到非常大量且獨特的資訊，如果 APT 族群能潛伏在媒體的資訊系統內，能夠快速獲得大量的資訊。

其次，媒體通常有複雜的政治關係，而APT 族群藉由潛伏在媒體的資訊系統內，除了能獲得政治消息之外，也能取得許多政治人物的聯絡管道。APT 族群可進一步透過媒體，針對政治人物進行網路攻擊。

第三個動機是是資訊作戰。假新聞(fake news)是資訊爆炸時代的一大難題，大部分的人仍會傾向相信有公信力的新聞媒體報導，如果 APT 族群入侵這些媒體散佈假訊息，就有機會煽動大眾的情緒，影響政治情勢。

綜合上述，中國關聯的 APT 族群針對台灣媒體產業，進行 APT 攻擊是一個嚴重的問題，TeamT5 將之命名為千里眼行動(Operation Clairvoyance)，這些攻擊事件不但影響媒體公司的業務和聲譽，並且也可能威脅到公民社會和言論自由。媒體公司需要採取更積極的措施來保護自己的系統和數據，包括強化員工資訊安全教育、建立完善的安全控制措施、更新並修補軟體漏洞，以及定期進行漏洞掃描和測試。同時，政府和國際社會也需要加強合作，共同打擊這類 APT 威脅，保障媒體產業的安全和自由。

TeamT5 獲美國專業媒體 Cybernews 選為最佳端點保護解決方案提供商

This year, Black Hat Asia is held online and in-person, May 9-12, 2023 in Singapore Time (UTC+8). Yue-Tien Chen and Zih-Cing Liao, cyber threat intelligence researchers from TeamT5, will give a talk on the topic “Operation Clairvoyance: How APT Groups Spy on the Media Industry”.

From TeamT5’s long term research, cyber espionage actors have demonstrated great interest in the media industry. These actors seem to like to see Taiwan's daily activities through the "eyes" of these media companies and journalists. During Taiwan's intense 2022, TeamT5 saw more and more [advanced persistent threat (APT)](https://teamt5.org/en/posts/what-is-advanced-persistent-threat-apt/) groups infiltrate Taiwan's media industry. In our observation, the media has become the first non-government target of those APT groups.

This talk will focus on APT's targeted attack against media companies in Taiwan. We dubbed this series of attacks "Operation Clairvoyance." Because Taiwan has a much more intensive political situation, such as the former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit and the 2022 Local Election, we will dissect more than 20 targeted attack operations TeamT5 has tracked since 2020. Our analysis shows technical links between these targeted attacks and the notorious Chinese APT, including APT23 (aka GouShe), APT41 (aka Winnti, Amoeba), and BlackTech (aka Huapi).

TeamT5 researchers’ presentation will cover these attacks' [tactic, techniques and procedures (TTPs)](https://teamt5.org/en/posts/what-are-tactics-techniques-and-procedures-ttps/). We have seen those APT groups adopt different TTPs aimed at media companies. Some of those backdoor abuse cloud service as their C2.

More importantly, these cases gave us a peek into China's strategic move. We believe that these APT attacks are the preliminary work of the Chinese government. Also, our strategic intelligence indicates several possible scenarios which could lead us to consider the ultimate goal of these APT attacks. 

By sharing this talk at Black Hat Asia, TeamT5 hopes more people and organizations are aware of this topic.

## About Black Hat Asia
Black Hat is the world leading cybersecurity event, and remains the best and biggest event of its kind. It provides attendees with cutting-edge security research, development and trends, and has the ability to define tomorrow’s information security landscape. Black Hat Asia is an Black Hat extended event which is held in Singapore annually.

【Black Hat Asia】TeamT5 Will Give the Talk on “How APT Groups Spy on the Media Industry”

全球資安盛會「亞洲黑帽安全大會」（Black Hat Asia, BHASIA）今年以線上與實體混合方式舉辦，自 2021 年 5 月 9 日至 12 日（新加坡時間 UTC+8），為期3天的精彩議程（Black Hat Briefing）、專業深度培訓（Training），以及最新開源駭客工具的展示（Black Hat Arsenal），由頂尖資訊安全專家們傳授最新、第一手的技術與研究發現。

TeamT5 威脅情資研究員們連續第3年登上 BHASIA，本次將發表演講「千里眼行動 : 威脅族群是如何採取針對媒體業的間諜行動（Operation Clairvoyance: How APT Groups Spy on the Media Industry）」，並與世界各地的資安研究人員交流最新的資訊安全風險、研究與趨勢。

根據 TeamT5 長期研究，網路間諜行動者持續對媒體業表現出極大的興趣。這些行動者似乎喜歡通過這些媒體公司和記者的「眼睛」觀察台灣的日常活動。2022 年，臺灣局勢更顯嚴峻，TeamT5 觀察到越來越多的[進階持續性威脅（advanced persistent threat, APT）](https://teamt5.org/tw/posts/what-is-advanced-persistent-threat-apt/) 族群滲透到臺灣的媒體業。 據我們觀察，媒體業已成為這些 APT 組織的第一個非政府組織類型的攻擊目標。

本次演講將重點關注 APT 族群針對臺灣媒體公司的針對性攻擊。 我們將這一系列攻擊稱為「千里眼行動」。 由於時任美國眾議院議長佩洛西(Pelosi)女士訪臺，及2022年臺灣地方選舉，帶來更加緊張的臺灣政治局勢，而我們將剖析自2020年以來追蹤的二十多次針對性攻擊行動。我們的研究顯示，這些針對性攻擊與惡名昭彰的中國 APT 族群有技術關聯性，包括 APT23（又名 GouShe）、APT41（又名 Winnti、Amoeba）和 BlackTech（又名 Huapi）。

TeamT5 研究員的演講將涵蓋這些攻擊的[戰術、技巧和程序（TTP）](https://teamt5.org/tw/posts/what-are-tactics-techniques-and-procedures-ttps/)。我們已經觀察到到那些 APT 族群針對媒體公司，採取不同的 TTP，其中一些後門程式則濫用雲服務作為他們的 C2 (command and control)。

更重要的是，這些案例讓我們窺見了中國的戰略。 我們認為，這些 APT 攻擊是中國政府的前期工作。 此外，我們的威脅情資指出了幾種可能的情況，這些情況可能會讓我們考慮這些 APT 攻擊的最終目標。

透過在 Black Hat Asia 分享，TeamT5 希望更多的人和組織意識到這個議題。

IN MAY 2022, Joe Biden was on a charm offensive. The US president invited the leaders of 10 Southeast Asian nations to the White House for the first time for talks about the region, which is home to more than 600 million people. High on the agenda was China—a key trading partner for all the countries, but also a potential threat to their stability. Biden promised $150 million in extra support for the nations to help improve their security, infrastructure, and ongoing pandemic response. 

However, in the weeks leading up to the meeting, according to a cybersecurity alert seen by WIRED, hackers working on behalf of China were stealing thousands of emails and sensitive details from the Southeast Asian nations. The cyberespionage, which has not been previously reported, is the latest in a string of incidents where Chinese-linked hackers have quietly compromised neighboring countries, looking to gain political and economic information.

Mysterious balloons hovering ominously over parts of North America are understandably causing some panic. If Taiwan is any indication, these sightings are happening around the globe.

Taiwan has spotted dozens of these sorts of balloons — suspected Chinese military aircraft — in its airspace in recent years, the Financial Times reported. After the US shot down four balloons, a Taiwanese Defense spokesperson said Taipei might do the same if it were concerned enough about them.

What could be more frightening than a big, white spy balloon suspended overhead? The answer, recent moves by Taiwan suggest, is malicious Chinese hackers.

……

“For an ordinary person, you walk to the convenience store and see it’s been defaced, and then you walk into the high-speed rail station and see defacement messages,” said Silvia Yeh, an analyst at the research firm TeamT5. “Then you go online and see that you can’t access Taiwan’s presidential website. Their first impression would be that China’s capabilities are so strong, and our internal systems have already been compromised.”

【Bloomberg 採訪報導】Worse Than Spy Balloons? Taiwan Is More Concerned With Chinese Hacking

Japan Security Analyst Conference 2023 (JSAC2023) held on Jan. 25-26 with virtual & onsite talks. This annual cyber security conference hosted by JPCERT/CC, aimed to bring together security analysts and provide opportunities for them to share technical knowledge related to incident response and analysis. This year, TeamT5 had two sessions during the event. 

One is TeamT5’s CTI Researcher Still Hsu gave a talk on “Brief History of MustangPanda and its PlugX Evolution”. He points out that Polaris/MustangPanda is continuing to evolve their TTPs. Frequent attacks are observed. Also, multiple campaigns focusing on a wide variety of targets.

The other session is presented by TeamT5’s research engineers Peter Syu and Jr-Wei Huang on the topic “Track Down Stealth Fileless Injection-based Nginx Backdoor in the Attack ”. The presentation focuses on Nginx, a widely used Web Server in the industry. During an incident response, they found a Nginx-based backdoor stored in the server, which used a previously unseen attack vector: Injection, to achieve the fileless effect, and we called the backdoor - NginxStealth and NginxSpy.

They introduced how the attacker gained initial access to the Nginx server, and how the malicious payload works. Furthermore, they explain how the backdoor NginxStealth and NginxSpy are skillfully hidden in the system in detail, and compare the techniques used by NginxStealth with the existing Nginx-based backdoors.

Finally, they developed a Nginx module based on the hook method of the NginxStealth. This module can list the addresses of the hook. If the address does not exist in the normal Nginx memory space or the module memory space, there is a high possibility that the Nginx process is injected with NginxStealth.

The slides of the speech can be downloaded on the official website.

##About JSAC
Cyber attacks occur on a daily basis, and its techniques have been constantly changing. Engineers who analyze and respond to them are required to improve their skills to keep up with the ever-changing techniques of cyber attacks. However, there are few occasions in Japan where techniques and knowledge of incident analysis and response are shared among engineers. Security analysts are expected to get together and exchange their technical expertise on incident handling to develop their strength against cyber attacks both individually and as a whole.

To achieve this goal, JPCERT/CC hosts Japan Security Analyst Conference (JSAC), the annual conference for exchanging technical information on cyber security incident analysis and response. In this conference, security analysts who handle security incidents on a daily basis are encouraged to share information with each other to deal with ever-evolving cyber attacks today and in the future.

##關於JSAC
日本電腦網路危機處理暨協調中心 (JPCERT/CC) 表示每天都會發生網路攻擊事件，攻擊者的技術也在不斷變化。分析和回應這些事件的工程師需要提高他們的技能，以跟上不斷變化的網路攻擊技術與手法。然而在日本，工程師彼此分享事件分析技術和知識的情況較少。資安分析師宜聚在一起交流他們在事件處理方面的技術專長，以增強他們個人和整體對抗網路攻擊的實力。

為實現這一目標，JPCERT/CC 主辦了日本資安分享研討會 JSAC，這是一年一度的網路安全事件分析和回應技術交流會議。在本次會議中，鼓勵每天處理安全事件的工程師分享資訊，以應對當今和未來不斷演變的網路攻擊。

The biggest information security conference in Japan, CODE BLUE 2022, will be held in hybrid style in Tokyo, both virtual and on-site, on October 27th and 28th. TeamT5, with its Taiwan headquarter & Japan subsidiary, is proud to support, sponsor and participate in this Asia top international cybersecurity event.

This year, our cyber threat analysts & cyber security researchers will share their latest study on China’s Bots-Driven InfoOps and North Korean APT “CloudDragon” at this year’s conference.

See below for highlights of our events at CODE BLUE 2022.

##Speech: From Parroting to Echoing: The Evolution of China’s Bots-Driven InfoOps targeting Taiwan
Presented by : Silvia Yeh(Cyber Threat Analyst),  Che Chang(Cyber Threat Analyst)

Social media is no doubt a critical battlefield for threat actors to launch InfoOps, especially in a critical moment such as wartime or the election season. We have seen Bot-Driven Information Operations (InfoOps, aka influence campaign) have attempted to spread disinformation, incite protests in the physical world, and doxxing against journalists.
China's Bots-Driven InfoOps, despite operating on a massive scale, are often considered to have low impact and very little organic engagement. In this talk, we will share our observations on these persistent Bots-Driven InfoOps and dissect their harmful disinformation campaigns circulated in cyberspace.

In the past, most bots-driven operations simply parroted narratives of the Chinese propaganda machine, mechanically disseminating the same propaganda and disinformation artifacts made by Chinese state media. However, recently, we saw the newly created bots turn to post artifacts in a livelier manner. They utilized various tactics, including reposting screenshots of forum posts and disguised as members of “Milk Tea Alliance,” to create a false appearance that such content is being echoed across cyberspace.
We particularly focus on an ongoing China's bots-driven InfoOps targeting Taiwan, which we dub "Operation ChinaRoot." Starting in mid-2021, the bots have been disseminating manipulated information about Taiwan's local politics and Covid-19 measures. Our further investigation has also identified the linkage between Operation ChinaRoot and other Chinese state-linked networks such as DRAGONBRIDGE and Spamouflage.


##Speech: CloudDragon’s Credential Factory is Powering Up Its Espionage Activities Against All the Policymakers
Presented by : Zih-Cing Liao(Cyber Security Researcher), Yu-Tung Chang(Cyber Security Researcher)

Kimsuky is a North Korean APT possibly controlled by North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau. Based on reports from the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and other vendors, TeamT5 identified that Kimsuky's most active group, CloudDragon, built a workflow functioning as a "Credential Factory," collecting and exploiting these massive credentials.

The credential factory powers CloudDragon to start its espionage campaigns. CloudDragon's campaigns have aligned with DPRK's interests, targeting the organizations and key figures playing a role in the DPRK relationship. Our database suggested that CloudDragon has possibly infiltrated targets in South Korea, Japan, and the United States. Victims include think tanks, NGOs, media agencies, educational institutes, and many individuals.

CloudDragon's "Credential Factory" can be divided into three small cycles, "Daily Cycle," "Campaign Cycle," and "Post-exploit Cycle." The"Daily Cycle" can collect massive credentials and use the stolen credentials to accelerate its APT life cycle.

In the "Campaign Cycle," CloudDragon develops many new malware. While we responded to CloudDragon's incidents, we found that the actor still relied on BabyShark malware. CloudDragon once used BabyShark to deploy a new browser extension malware targeting victims' browsers. Moreover, CloudDragon is also developing a shellcode-based malware, Dust.

In the "Post-exploit Cycle," the actor relied on hacking tools rather than malicious backdoors. We also identified that the actor used remote desktop software to prevent detection.

In this presentation, we will go through some of the most significant operations conducted by CloudDragon, and more importantly, we will provide possible scenarios of future invasions for defense and detection.


##What is CODE BLUE?
CODE BLUE is Japan's largest international information security conference, which aims to contribute to a better Internet world by connecting people through CODE (technology), beyond and across the BLUE (oceans). Every year, the world's top-class specialists and researchers gather together to share their latest findings and give cutting-edge talks.

【TeamT5 x CODE BLUE 2022】Because Security Matters

日本最大級のセキュリティ国際会議「CODE BLUE 2022」が10月27日、28日の２日間に開催されます。
台湾を拠点とするTeamT5株式会社は、アジア圏域で最大級のサイバーセキュリティ国際会議に参加できる事は大変光栄です

当社のサイバーセキュウリティアナリストとサイバーセキュリティ分析者は、今年中国を主導のInfoOps と北朝鮮主導のAPT「CloudDragon」について最新の調査結果を発表します。

CODE BLUE 2022における当社イベントについて手短に紹介します。

##講演: オウム返しから反響へ：台湾を標的とした中国のボット駆動型情報操作の進化

特別ゲスト：Silvia Yeh - シルビア・イェ (Cyber Security Analyst), Che Chang - チェ・チャン (Cyber Security Analyst)

ソーシャルメディア (SNS）は、特に戦時中や選挙シーズンなどの重大な局面で、脅威者が情報操作を展開するための重要な戦場であることに疑いの余地はない。ボット駆動型情報操作（InfoOps、別名インフルエンス・キャンペーン）が、偽情報の拡散、物理的な世界での抗議活動の扇動、ジャーナリストのDoxing（晒す）などを試みているのを誰もが目にしてきた。

中国のボット駆動型情報操作は、大規模に活動しているにもかかわらず、インパクトが弱く、有機的な関与が非常に少ないと見られている。本講演では、こうした根強いボット駆動型情報操作に関するわれわれの見解を紹介し、サイバー空間で流通する有害な偽情報キャンペーンについて解剖する。
過去には、ほとんどのボット駆動型オペレーションは、中国のプロパガンダマシンの物語を単にオウム返しし、中国の国営メディアが作ったのと同じプロパガンダや偽情報の人工投稿を機械的に広めていた。しかし、最近、新しく作られたボットは、より自然な投稿をするようになっている。彼らは、フォーラムの投稿のスクリーンショットを再投稿したり、「ミルクティー同盟」のメンバーになりすましたりするなど、さまざまな手口を用いて、そのようなコンテンツがサイバー空間で反響しているかのように見せかけている。

私たちは特に、「ChinaRoot作戦」と名付けた、台湾を標的とした中国のボット駆動型情報操作に注目している。2021年半ばから、ボットは台湾の地方政治とCOVID–19対策について操作された情報を発信している。さらに調査を進めると、「ChinaRoot作戦」と、「DRAGONBRIDGE」や「Spamouflage」といった中国国家と連携した他のネットワークとの関連も確認された。

##講演: クラウドドラゴンの認証情報工場、政策担当者へのスパイ活動をより強化へ
特別ゲスト：Zih-Cing Liao - ズーチン・リャオo(Cyber Security Researcher) , Yu-Tung Chang - ユーツン・チャン(Cyber Security Researcher) 

Kimsukyは、北朝鮮系APTで北朝鮮の偵察総局が支配していると思われる。KISA（Korea Internet & Security Agency）や他のベンダーからの報告に基づき、TeamT5はKimsukyの最も活発なグループであるCloudDragonが「Credential Factory（認証情報工場）」として機能するワークフローを構築して大量のクレデンシャルを収集・悪用していることを確認した。

この「Credential Factory」は、CloudDragonがスパイ活動を開始するための動力源となっている。CloudDragonのキャンペーンはDPRKの利益に沿うもので、DPRKとの関係で役割を果たす組織や重要人物をターゲットにしている。私たちのデータベースは、CloudDragonが韓国、日本、米国のターゲットに潜入した可能性があることを示唆した。被害者は、シンクタンク、NGO、メディア機関、教育機関、そして多くの個人である。

CloudDragonの 「Credential Factory」は、「Daily Cycle」、「Campaign Cycle」、「Post-exploit Cycle」の3つの小さなサイクルに分けられる。「Daily Cycle」では、大量のクレデンシャルを収集し、盗んだクレデンシャルを使用してAPTのライフサイクルを加速させることができる。

「Campaign Cycle」では、CloudDragonは多くの新しいマルウェアを開発する。われわれはCloudDragonのインシデントに対応したが、このアクターは依然としてBabySharkマルウェアを利用していることが明らかになった。CloudDragonは、BabySharkを利用して、被害者のブラウザーを標的としたマルウェアを含んだ新しいブラウザー拡張機能を展開していたことがある。さらに、CloudDragonは、「Dust」というシェルコードベースのマルウェアも開発している。
Post-exploit Cycle」では、悪意のあるバックドアではなく、ハッキングツールに依存している。また、検知されないようにするために、リモートデスクトップソフトウェアを使用していることも確認している。

本発表では、CloudDragonが行った最も重要な作戦のいくつかを紹介し、さらに重要なこととして、防御と検知のために、今後の侵入の可能なシナリオを提示する。

日本 [Macnica](https://www.macnica.co.jp) (半導體、網路、網路安全和 AI/IoT 的整體服務解決方案供應商) 與 [TeamT5 杜浦數位安全](https://teamt5.org/)(網路威脅專業分析團隊)共同撰寫並出版了2021年在日本發生的針對型網路攻擊的調查報告[《針對型網路攻擊的現態與對策》第6版](https://www.macnica.co.jp/business/security/2022/report_02.html)。


去年，許多組織受到利用勒索軟體和供應鏈弱點的攻擊，這在新聞中也大為報導。 雖然此類事件浮出水面，但許多企業組織在很長一段時間內都沒有意識到這類攻擊行為，特別是未察覺 「透過有針對性的攻擊，竊取敏感資訊」之攻擊；然而在「[2022年資訊安全10大威脅](https://www.ipa.go.jp/security/vuln/10threats2022.html)」中， 「透過有針對性的攻擊，竊取敏感資訊」是企業組織面臨的第二大威脅。 這情況威脅到日本企業的競爭力來源，並削弱其國際產業競爭力。

在這種情況下，跨組織的戰略資訊共用和情報升級，點出每個攻擊族群的 TTPs、目標和意圖以及技能水準，可以有效應對這些攻擊。 此外，由於針對型網路攻擊在很大程度上取決於地緣政治風險和國家間緊張關係，因此，在當今動蕩的世界形勢下，日本 Macnica 與臺灣 TeamT5 合作進行分析和寫作具有重要意義。

為了提升人們的警覺意識，本報告旨在描述2021財務年度（2021年4月至2022年3月），從日本組織竊取機密資訊（個人資訊、政策相關資訊、製造數據等）之攻擊活動分析。 此外，還介紹了新的攻擊方法和威脅檢測，重點是使用高度隱身的遠端惡意軟體 （emotely controlled malware, RAT）事件。 在報告末尾，我們並列出了這些攻擊活動中威脅入侵指標 （indicator of compromise, IoC） ，以便您可以檢查自身企業組織是否有遭遇這類攻擊。

Macnica 和 TeamT5 發佈 FY2021鎖定日本的針對型網路攻擊趨勢報告

Macnica, Inc. (a total service and solution provider for semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT) and Team T5, Inc.(a threat intelligence provider for cyber espionage activities in the Asia-Pacific region) announced joint report "Reality of Targeted Attacks and Countermeasures Approach, 6th Edition," a report on targeted attacks that landed in Japan in FY2021.

Last year, many organizations were victims of ransomwares and attacks as attacker groups exploited weaknesses in the supply chain. These attacks were widely reported in the news. While such incidents have surfaced, many organizations have not been aware of the breach for a long period of time, and they weren’t aware that they’re under the threat of "theft of confidential information through targeted attacks", which is listed as the second threat for organizations in the "[10 Major Cybersecurity Threats in 2022](https://www.ipa.go.jp/security/vuln/10threats2022.html)". However, this threatens international industrial competitiveness of Japanese companies.

Under these circumstances, by strategically sharing information and sublimating to threat intelligence across organizations, the report highlights the TTPs, objectives, intentions, skill levels, etc. of each attacker group. It also shares effective countermeasures against these attacks. In addition, since targeted attacks (cyber espionage) rely heavily on geopolitical risks and tensions between countries, it is significant to analyze and write a report jointly with Macnica in Japan & TeamT5 in Taiwan under the current unstable world situation.

For the purpose of raising awareness, this report provides analysis of attack campaigns observed in FY2021 (April 2021 to March 2022) that seek to steal confidential information (personal information, policy-related information, manufacturing data, etc.) from Japanese organizations. In addition, focusing on cases using highly stealthy remotely controlled malware (RAT), we introduce new attack methods and threat detection. At the end of the report, we also include the indicator of compromise(IoC) used in the attack campaigns introduced in the report so that you can check your own organization.

Macnica and TeamT5 Publish Joint Report on Trends in Targeted Attacks Targeting Japan in FY2021

半導体、ネットワーク、サイバーセキュリティ、AI/IoTにおけるトータルサービス・ソリューションプロバイダーの株式会社マクニカ（本社：神奈川県横浜市、代表取締役社長：原 一将、以下マクニカ）は、アジア太平洋地域において行われるサイバースパイ活動の脅威インテリジェンスを持つTeam T5, Inc.(本社：台湾、CEO：Sung-ting Tsai、以下TeamT5)と、2021年度に日本に着弾した標的型攻撃に関する調査レポート「標的型攻撃の実態と対策アプローチ　第6版」を共同著書し、公開いたします。

昨年度も多くの組織がランサムウェアやサプライチェーンの弱点を悪用した攻撃の被害に遭い、ニュースでも大きく取り上げられました。このようなインシデントが表面化する一方、「[情報セキュリティ10大脅威 2022](https://www.ipa.go.jp/security/vuln/10threats2022.html)」でも組織向け脅威第2位にあげられている「標的型攻撃による機密情報の窃取」＊については、長期間に渡って侵害に気づかない組織が多く、表面化するケースもあまり多くありません。しかし、これは日本企業の競争力の源泉を奪い国際産業競争力を低下させる脅威となります。

このような状況下で、組織を超えた戦略的な情報共有とインテリジェンスへの昇華により、各攻撃グループのTTPs、目的や意図、スキルレベルなどを浮き彫りにすることが、これら攻撃に対しての効果的な対策につながります。また、標的型攻撃（サイバーエスピオナージ）は地政学リスクや国家間の緊張関係に大きく依存するため、昨今の不安定な世界情勢下では、台湾のTeamT5と共同で分析・執筆することには大きな意味と意義があります。

本レポートでは、2021年度(2021年4月から2022年3月)に観測された、日本の組織から機密情報(個人情報、政策関連情報、製造データなど)を窃取しようとする攻撃キャンペーンに関する分析内容を、注意喚起を目的として記載しています。また、ステルス性の高い遠隔操作マルウェア(RAT)を用いた事案を中心に、新しい攻撃手法やその脅威の検出についてご紹介しています。レポートの最後には、自組織の確認を行えるよう、本文中で紹介した攻撃キャンペーンで使われたインディケータも掲載しています。

マクニカは今後も日本企業の産業競争力を徐々に蝕んでいく標的型攻撃に対して、粘り強い分析と啓発活動に取り組み、微力ながらも日本経済の発展に寄与できるよう努めてまいります。

>Our cyber threat analyst Che Chang gives observations on China’s sudden warnings about US hackers. This is an expert of WIRED's article. Read more at [WIRED](https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-us-hacking-accusations).

For the best part of a decade, US officials and cybersecurity companies have been naming and shaming hackers they believe work for the Chinese government. These hackers [have stolen](https://www.wired.com/2013/02/chinese-army-linked-to-hacks/) terabytes of data from pharmaceutical companies to [video game firms](https://www.wired.com/story/chinese-hackers-charged-decade-long-crime-spying-spree/), [compromised servers](https://www.wired.com/story/fbi-takes-drastic-step-to-fight-china-hacking-spree/), [stripped security protections](https://www.wired.com/story/the-full-story-of-the-stunning-rsa-hack-can-finally-be-told/), and [highjacked hacking tools](https://www.wired.com/story/china-nsa-hacking-tool-epme-hijack/), according to security experts. And as [China’s alleged hacking has grown in aggression](https://www.wired.com/story/china-hacking-reckless-new-phase/), individual Chinese hackers face indictments. However, things may be changing.

Since the start of 2022, there has been a marked uptick in China’s Foreign Ministry and the country’s cybersecurity firms calling out alleged US cyberespionage. Until now, these allegations have been a rarity. But the disclosures come with a catch: They appear to rely on years-old technical details, which are already publicly known and don’t contain fresh information. The move may be a strategic change for China as the nation tussles to cement its position as a tech superpower.

“These are useful materials for China’s tit-for-tat propaganda campaigns when they faced US accusation and indictment of China’s cyberespionage activities,” says Che Chang, a cyber threat analyst at Taiwan-based cybersecurity firm TeamT5.

【WIRED】The Mystery of China’s Sudden Warnings About US Hackers

>TeamT5 資安威脅情資分析師 Che Chang 接受 WIRED 訪問，針對中國警告美國駭客行動的消息，進行評論與分析。本文為摘錄，完整文章請見 [WIRED](https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-us-hacking-accusations)。

近十年來，美國方常點名那些被視為替中國工作的駭客，這些駭客從製藥公司竊取了大量數據，或破壞企業的伺服器等，個別駭客並面臨起訴。

然而 WIRED 記者觀察到，自2022年初，中國外交部和該國資安公司指稱與美國有關聯的網路間諜活動明顯增加，然而這類指稱是基於已有多年歷史的資料，細節也已廣為人知。

WIRED 記者訪問多位專家，TeamT5 資安威脅情資分析師 Che Chang 提出推測，即中方提出這些指控的動機，是因中國面臨美國的網路間諜指控和起訴時，做為以牙還牙的材料。

>TeamT5 is a leading APT threat intelligence provider in the Asia & Pacific region. In Black Hat Asia 2022, TeamT5 published our analysis of modular backdoor Pangolin8RAT and its associated threat group "Tianwu”. As modular backdoors and shared malwares are becoming key trends in the threat landscape, Silvia Yeh (Threat Intelligence Analyst) and Leon Chang (Threat Intelligence Researcher) from TeamT5 warn the public that previous APT analysis mindset might not be suitable.

In the past, modular malware like PlugX and ShadowPad have been the most popular shared trojans used in Chinese state-sponsored cyber operations. Since mid-2020, TeamT5 has detected a new modular trojan emerging in the APAC region which has the potential to be their successor. The trojan was named "Pangolin8RAT" after "pangolin" and “p8rat" found in its PDB string and RTTI. Pangolin8RAT is modular, as its functionalities can be expanded by downloading DLL from its C2. Its early feature supported 8 communication protocols, including TCP, HTTPS, UDP, DNS, ICMP, HTTPSIPV6, WEB, and SSH.

TeamT5 researchers names the threat group behind Pangolin8RAT as “Tianwu”, a beast with 8 human heads in Chinese mythology. From 2020 to 2021, TeamT5 has observed Tianwu leveraging Pangolin8RAT to snipe at online gaming/gambling industry, transportation, telecom, government, and dissidents in the Asia Pacific region.

In this talk, TeamT5 researchers also explored Tianwu’s connections with the notorious Chinese APT group Amoeba (aka APT41) by illustrating the similarities in the two group’s modular malware structure, TTPs, and target scope.

TeamT5 researchers concluded that modular backdoor has become a trend as it can reduce the cost of malware development by APT groups. For that reason, previous analysis frameworks and categories might not be suitable for future APT attacks. In order to have an overview of the threat landscape, enterprises should defend themselves with all-level intelligence from tactical & operational level to strategic level.

>TeamT5 杜浦數位安全長期致力於亞太地區駭客團體研究，於今年度亞洲最大資安研討會 Black Hat Asia 發布最新研究，說明新興的模組化後門程式 Pangolin8RAT 與其關聯駭客團體。有鑑於後門程式模組化及多駭客團體共用的趨勢，TeamT5 威脅情資分析師 Silvia Yeh 與威脅情資研究員 Leon Chang 警示既有 APT 攻擊分析方法可能不再適合，企業組織宜運用多層次威脅情資，掌握駭客動態。

過去像是 PlugX、ShadowPad等模組化惡意軟體製作而成的木馬程式，常見於中國國家級支持的網路行動。自2020年中，TeamT5 偵測到模組化木馬程式 Pangolin8RAT 在亞太區域區域，有可能是前述模組化惡意軟體的後繼者。Pangolin8RAT 命名來自其 PDB string "pangolin" 和其 RTTI “p8rat”，該模組化特徵為可經由C2指令，進行DLL下載，而擴展功能。其早期版本支援8種通訊協定，包含 TCP, HTTPS, UDP, DNS, ICMP, HTTPSIPV6, WEB, SSH。

TeamT5 將使用 Pangolin8RAT 後門程式的駭客團體命名為「天吳」，為記載於《山海經》的八首人面怪獸。2020-2021年之間，該駭客團體鎖定線上娛樂產業、賭博業、資訊業、電信業、交通運輸業、政府單位、異議人士等，進行網路攻擊。

本次演講中，TeamT5 研究團隊並探索「天吳」與惡名昭彰的中國 APT 團體 Amoeba (別名 APT41)的關聯，兩者的相似性來自他們使用之模組化惡意程式結構、攻擊手法(TTPs)與攻擊範圍。

TeamT5 研究團隊指出由於模組化後門程式可以降低駭客團體研發惡意軟體的成本，模組化後門程式成為趨勢。有鑑於此，先前針對 APT 攻擊的研究架構與分類可能不再適用於未來出現的 APT 攻擊，建議企業組織宜運用從戰術(tactic)、實戰(operation)、戰略(strategy)等層級的威脅情資，掌握網路威脅的全貌。

【Black Hat Asia 2022】後門程式模組化與 APT 攻擊趨勢剖析  TeamT5 於 Black Hat Asia 發布最新研究

>TeamT5 is a leading APT intelligence provider in the Asia & Pacific region. TeamT5 shared our research in the Black Hat Asia 2022. In this seminar, TeamT5 pointed out China-nexus APT groups who launched massive attacks against the online entertainment business in the APAC region. 

Charles Li (Chief Analyst) and Che Chang (Cyber Threat Analyst) from TeamT5 pointed out these attacks are not only money-driven, they also collect data from victim companies. The motives are closely aligned with the national interests of the Chinese government.

The Chinese government has put significant pressure on the online entertainment industry. It freezes gaming licenses from Sept 2021 to Apr 2022. It crackdown on Macau gambling
industry and forced gamblers to move online. During the time of pandemic, online gambling skyrocketed. 

China-nexus APT groups' attacks on online entertainment business might be one of the crackdown moves by the Chinese government. Previously, many cases were believed to be financially-motivated attacks because of the usage of ransomware. However, based on TeamT5’s observation in the past few years, APT attacks against online entertainment companies are also driven by espionage purposes.

These threat groups use various tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). For example, they collect info in recruiting websites or forums. Then, they conduct spear phishing which targets customer supporting teams. The content of the phishing email is complaining about system issues and asking team staff to open attachments. Another way is phishing via social network platforms by crafting profiles and approaching sales, ITs, RDs in the targeting companies. 

These threat groups also exploit vulnerabilities of exchange server, VPN server, browser, web, or NAS to compromise the targeting companies. Supply chain attack is another way they use. By compromising the ERP system or official website, they’re able to fulfill their goals.

In the process, some threat groups modify specific weapons to attack online entertainment industry (e.g. SLIME 29). For Amoeba (a.k.a APT41), they use the same weapons that have been used to attack other industries but they developed proprietary tools  for maintaining. Others didn’t develop tailored weapons to attack the online entertainment industry (e.g. TianWu、Greedy Taotie、SLIME34).

Dissecting the current TTPs is merely the first step. TeamT5 urges organizations to start the threat intelligence cycle and have tailored & accurate threat intelligence.

>TeamT5 杜浦數位安全專精亞太地區駭客團體分析，最新研究於亞太最大資安研討會 Black Hat Asia 發布，指出與中國關聯之多個駭客團體，針對亞太地區的線上博弈產業發起大規模攻擊。這波攻擊據除了獲取金錢利益，對產業的資料展現高度興趣，推測可能暗含中國政府蒐集資訊的動機，異於過去攻擊行動。

中國政府近年來限縮線上遊戲產業發展空間，如停發遊戲版號，及取締賭博產業，使賭博產業多轉為線上營運。而蓬勃發展、跨境經營的線上博弈產業遭受多個駭客團體攻擊，入侵手法精密，TeamT5 首席分析師李庭閣(Charles Li)與分析師張哲誠(Che Chang)指出這波駭客攻擊與中國政府的官方利益一致，使駭客可掌握參與玩家、業主等資料，背後策略與動機實屬不尋常。

駭客團體使用多種手法(TTPs)進攻，如於該產業招募員工的網站論壇收集資料，進一步採取魚叉式網路釣魚(spear phishing)，鎖定客服人員，以抱怨系統為主旨釣魚信件，誘騙客服人員點擊附件；駭客團體也透過社群網站建立假帳戶，藉以接近目標公司的業務、工程師等。

駭客團體並利用各項漏洞，進行攻擊，如瀏覽器、VPN、NAS的漏洞；或採取供應鏈攻擊，從公司官網、ERP系統入侵至公司內部。

針對亞太地區的線上娛樂產業的網路攻擊事件中，攻擊者通常使用非市售的工具，或自行修改、研發工具，以達成攻擊目的。TeamT5 觀察的駭客團體中，SLIME29 的攻擊武器相較於其他團體，乃是為攻擊博奕產業特別製造；Amoeba (又稱 APT41)的攻擊武器也曾用於攻擊其他產業，同時也為博奕產業量身打造可協助他們長期控制目標之工具；此波攻擊中的其他駭客團體如 TianWu、Greedy Taotie、SLIME34 則無特別未博奕產業打造攻擊武器。

TeamT5 表示拆解中國駭客團體攻擊線上博弈產業的手法與背後動機，僅是協助企業了解最新趨勢的開端，後續動向值得關注。

That Is Not a Question When State-Nexus APT Targets Online Entertainment Industry](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-22/briefings/schedule/#to-loot-or-not-to-loot-that-is-not-a-question-when-state-nexus-apt-targets-online-entertainment-industry-26143)」由 TeamT5 威脅情資分析師 Che Chang 與首席威脅情資分析師 Charles Li 介紹近年進階持續性威脅 (Advanced Persistent Threat, APT) 轉向線上娛樂/賭博產業之趨勢，動機不僅是財務勒索、更帶有間諜活動成分。演講中將以逾20個案例，說明駭客族群APT10 (又名 menuPass), APT41 (又名 Winnti, Amoeba)及 APT27 (又名 GreedyTaotie)的攻擊行為。

第二場演講「[The Next Gen PlugX/ShadowPad? A Dive into the Emerging China-Nexus Modular Trojan, Pangolin8RAT](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-22/briefings/schedule/#the-next-gen-plugxshadowpad-a-dive-into-the-emerging-china-nexus-modular-trojan-pangolinrat-25950)」，則由我們的威脅情資分析師 Silivia Yeh 與研究員 Leon Chang，剖析一個自2021年初開始嶄露頭角的「天吳(Tianwu)」族群。該群與 APT41 的入侵手法（TTPs）有不少相似之處；其專用後門（Proto8RAT）是一個高度模組化、且能支持八種協定的木馬程式。
根據此特徵，我們將該族群命名為「天吳(Tianwu)」，一個記載於《山海經》中八首人面的怪獸。目前，我們已經觀察到不少天吳針對亞太地區的攻擊，受害產業包括遊戲軟體業、交通運輸及電信。本演講將會分享分析結果與相關族群未來可能的發展動向。

【Black Hat Asia】TeamT5 研究員將於亞洲黑帽安全大會發表深度分析

This year, Black Hat Asia is held online and in-person, May 10-13, 2022 in Singapore Time (UTC+8). Our analysts & researchers will give 2 speeches on recent notable APTs.

One talk “[To Loot or Not to Loot? That Is Not a Question When State-Nexus APT Targets Online Entertainment Industry](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-22/briefings/schedule/#to-loot-or-not-to-loot-that-is-not-a-question-when-state-nexus-apt-targets-online-entertainment-industry-26143)” is given by Che Chang (Cyber Threat Analyst) and
Charles Li (Chief Analyst). 

This talk will focus on APT's targeted attack against online entertainment companies which have solid cash flow and a massive amount of personal data. In the talk, we will dissect more than 20 targeted attack operations TeamT5 has tracked since 2018. The analysis shows technical links between these targeted attacks and the infamous Chinese APT, including APT10 (aka menuPass), APT41 (aka Winnti, Amoeba), and APT27 (aka GreedyTaotie). The presentation will cover these attacks' Tactic Technique and Procedures (TTPs) as we have seen those APT groups adopt different TTPs aimed at the online entertainment industry. We believe that these APT attacks are the preliminary work of the Chinese government. 

The other talk “[The Next Gen PlugX/ShadowPad? A Dive into the Emerging China-Nexus Modular Trojan, Pangolin8RAT](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-22/briefings/schedule/#the-next-gen-plugxshadowpad-a-dive-into-the-emerging-china-nexus-modular-trojan-pangolinrat-25950)” is given by Silvia Yeh (Threat Intelligence Analyst) and Leon Chang (Threat Intelligence Researcher). 

Since mid-2020, TeamT5 has detected a new modular trojan emerging in the APAC region which has the potential to be their successor. We name this trojan "Pangolin8RAT" because its PDB string contains "pangolin" and its RTTI contains "p8rat." 

Its early features supported 8 communication protocols, including TCP, HTTPS, UDP, DNS, ICMP, HTTPSIPV6, WEB, and SSH. Pangolin8RAT has only been associated with a Chinese APT group we track as "Tianwu." In this talk, they will also give a brief attack timeline of Pangolin8RAT/Tianwu from 2020 to 2021 as well as our outlook on the group's future development.

【Black Hat Asia】TeamT5 Will Give Talks on Notable APTs

世界的な情報セキュリティイベント「ブラックハットアジア（Black Hat Asia）」（BHASIA）が、今年は2021年5月10日から13日（シンガポール時間 UTC+8）までオンラインとオンサイトの混合方式で開催されました。3日間の開催期間で素晴らしいブリーフィング（Black Hat Briefing）、専門的かつ詳細なトレーニング（Training）、最新のオープンソースハッキングツールの展示（Black Hat Arsenal）、トップクラスの情報セキュリティ専門家たちによる最新の技術や研究による発見の共有などが行われました。

TeamT5の脅威インテリジェンス研究員たちは2年連続でBHASIAに参加して2つの最新の研究結果を発表し、世界各地の情報セキュリティ研究員と最新の情報セキュリティリスク、研究、トレンドについて交流しました。

最初の発表、「[To Loot or Not to Loot? That Is Not a Question When State-Nexus APT Targets Online Entertainment Industry](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-22/briefings/schedule/#to-loot-or-not-to-loot-that-is-not-a-question-when-state-nexus-apt-targets-online-entertainment-industry-26143)」では、TeamT5の脅威インテリジェンスアナリストのChe Changと脅威インテリジェンスチーフアナリストのCharles Liが、オンラインエンターテイメント/ギャンブル産業を狙った近年のAPT（Advanced Persistent Threat, 高度で持続的な脅威）は、身代金の要求だけでなく、スパイ活動が動機となっているというトレンドを紹介しました。20以上の例をあげ、サイバー攻撃グループのAPT10（別名menuPass）、APT41（別名Winnti, Amoeba）、APT27（別名GreedyTaotie）の攻撃行動について説明しました。

2回目の発表、「[The Next Gen PlugX/ShadowPad? A Dive into the Emerging China-Nexus Modular Trojan, Pangolin8RAT](https://www.blackhat.com/asia-22/briefings/schedule/#the-next-gen-plugxshadowpad-a-dive-into-the-emerging-china-nexus-modular-trojan-pangolinrat-25950)」，では、当社の脅威インテリジェンスアナリストのSilivia Yehと研究員のLeon Changが、2021年初頭から徐々に現れ始めた「天呉（Tianwu）」グループの分析について発表しました。同グループとAPT41の侵入方法（TTPs）には多くの類似点があります。その特殊なバックドア（Proto8RAT）は、8つのプロトコルに対応するよう高度にモジュール化されたトロイの木馬です。

この特徴から、当社は同グループを『山海経』に登場する人の顔を八つもつ人面獣にちなんで、「天呉（Tianwu）」と名付けました。現在、当社は、アジア太平洋地域におけるゲームソフトウェア、交通、輸送、電気通信業界に対して「天呉」の攻撃が多発していることを確認しています。今回の発表では、分析結果および今後考えられる関連グループの進化と方向性を共有しました。

【Black Hat Asia】TeamT5の研究員がブラックハットアジア（Black Hat Asia）で詳細な分析を発表

> We are honored to be interviewed by  [Cybernews](https://cybernews.com/), a research-based online publication that helps people navigate a safe path through their increasingly complex digital lives. In the interview, we share how TeamT5 originated with our cyber threat intelligence researches and how we do to help clients fight against ransomware. The whole interview report is below or can be viewed at [Cybernews](https://cybernews.com/security/sung-ting-tsai-teamt5-companies-shouldnt-claim-themselves-as-100-secured-or-unhackable/)。

**A ransomware attack may be a once-in-a-lifetime event for some, while for others, it is more so of an evergoing battle of wits, technology, and speed, which requires constant diligence and preparations.**

While more and more companies invest in proper cybersecurity measures, both by investing in professional infrastructures and [relying on commercial privacy and data protection management tools](https://cybernews.com/best-password-managers/), not many are involved in actively hunting threats that may as well have already penetrated their defenses.

To discuss such issues, Cybernews sat down with Sung-ting Tsai, the Chief Executive Officer of [TeamT5](https://teamt5.org/en/) – a cybersecurity intelligence firm. We talked about the dos and don’ts in the event of a ransomware attack and what cybersecurity measures are most important to take.

### Tell us about your story. How did TeamT5 originate?

Previously, I worked in a big cybersecurity company and led a research team. I found that clients often got hacked even though we made great solutions. I think the key is we didn’t have insights on attackers’ TTP (tactics, techniques, and procedures) so our defense couldn’t protect clients from those attackers.

Therefore, I became interested in cyber threat intelligence (CTI) research and decided to build TeamT5 to do CTI research. Back then, our team already discovered that the latest and advanced cyberattacks happened in Taiwan first. It gives us advantages to publish in-depth analysis and research.

Our niche is that we have focused on cyberattacks and cyber espionage for a long time. As not many people focus on this area, our research results are even more valuable and help many people and organizations around the world, especially in the US, Japan, and Korea.

Then, we made our reports of cyber threat intelligence into a solution – ThreatVision, a portal to see through the chaos. In 2017, we developed ThreatSonar which is an engine to hunt down intruders. It helps clients to defend against cyberattacks. When others can’t catch malicious cyberattacks – we can.

Since we established, we consider cyber threat intelligence research as the most important task. We have published more than 30 research papers in international cybersecurity seminars and conferences, including Black Hat Asia, SANS Institute – CTI Summit, Virus Bulletin (VT), and CodeBlue. Our findings are recognized by many clients, including one of the top five international banks, top telecom and business groups in Japan, and governmental critical infrastructures in Taiwan.

### Can you tell us a little bit about what you do? What challenges do you help navigate?

Our mission is to become the best partner to defend against advanced persistent threats (APTs).

Clients are facing two challenges:

1. While attackers know a lot about clients, our clients know a little about what they’re facing.
2. Clients don’t have sufficient technology to defend against attackers.

To help a client beat ransomware and cyber espionage, we provide three types of solutions:

1. **Threat Intelligence** – let clients know the enemies well and plan defense strategies.
2. **Defense Technology **– let clients be equipped with good tools in order to hunt down the enemies.
3. **Professional Service** – we work with clients to help them deal with various cyber threats.

### You often emphasize the importance of proactive threat hunting. Can you briefly describe this practice?

Traditionally, the idea of cybersecurity protection is to do multi-layered defense. However, the current problem is that enterprises don’t know whether attackers are already on the intranet.

So, we suggest that “proactive threat hunting” is a better idea for cyber protection nowadays. It means enterprises use our tool ThreatSonar Anti-Ransomware to do active and aggressive scans on logs from SIEM (security information and event management). Enterprises can even apply new screening rules on previous logs to discover previous malicious activities.

### How do you think the recent global events influenced the ways in which threat actors operate?

Looking into cyber attackers' behaviors, you can see that cyberattacks are effective and their impacts are bigger than ever. These impacts can be categorized into two types – one is leaking important information, while the other is data sabotage and ransom.

We observe that more operations with more power are conducted by many countries. Countries are also focusing on information operations (InfoOps). They invest more resources in public opinion operations, social media operations, and media operations. Their goal is to achieve impacts with certain purposes.

Recently, Ukraine conducts such operations really well. It indicates that if there are wars or disputes between counties in the future, such InfoOps will be common scenes.

### In the age of frequent cyberattacks, do you think small businesses and big enterprises require the same security measures?

In fact, it’s unlikely that small businesses apply the same cybersecurity measures as big enterprises. Our suggestion is for small businesses to use the same cybersecurity framework and ideas as big enterprises do. And small businesses shall prioritize each task and start with the most important parts.

We found that the most challenges that small businesses are not willing to invest in are cybersecurity measures. However, it’s important to do that in order to make business operations go smoothly.

### Since ransomware is one of your main fields of focus, could you give us a few tips on what should and shouldn't be done in the event of such an attack?

I advise companies to do defense in four steps:

1. **Threat awareness** – catch up on the latest cyber intelligence to understand the potential threats.

2. **Before attack** – deploy tools and measures to be prepared, e.g. backup your data and deploy anti-ransomware solutions.

3. **During attack** – have tools to see attacks that are happening (which means to make attacks visible); if there are attacks happening, enterprises shall have response measures.

4. **After attack** – companies shall have a standard operation procedure (SOP) on how to recover files and services. If companies prepare well, they may return to normal operations within a day; otherwise, they may still be shut down for a week, or even have to pay a ransom. Companies shall prepare for a negotiation. Some professional teams can help with that and lower the ransom amount.

Other things one should and shouldn't do:

1. Should – backup your files and patch up security

2. Shouldn't – threaten attackers

### In your opinion, what are the worst cybersecurity habits that make companies attractive targets for ransomware hackers?

Do not provoke actors! They are more capable than you think. Companies shouldn’t claim themselves as 100% secured or unhackable as tall trees catch much wind. For ransomware prevention, the most important thing is to do backups and put them offline.

### What new threats do you think the public should be ready to take on in the next few years? What security tools should be implemented by every internet user?

Firstly, there will be more ransomware attacks. The reason is that attackers are protected and hidden behind various technologies, such as the dark web (run on Tor), cryptocurrencies, and secured instant messengers. And victims are willing to pay to get files back. It makes ransomware attacks a profitable business.

The second threat is that countries will invest more in cyberattacks, including developing cyber weapons, increasing the power of cyberattacks, and recruiting more talents.

We suggest enterprises and government units invest more in cybersecurity in order to defend against the threats mentioned above. We think the key is cyber threat intelligence rather than tools. When enterprises and government units know more about attackers, they can defend better. As the old saying goes – know the enemy and know yourself in a hundred battles, and you will never be in peril.

### Share with us, what’s next for TeamT5?
We hope to increase our influence through cyber threat intelligence research. We believe our experience, research, and technology shared with more people can help them deal with APT threats.

【Cybernews 專訪】TeamT5 執行長蔡松廷表示企業不宜宣稱自身100%不會被駭入

>Our CTI analysts comment on Pangu Lab’s report regarding a 2013 exploit to Bloomberg. This is an expert of Bloomberg's article. Read more at [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-24/chinese-report-on-suspected-nsa-hack-shows-beijing-pushing-back)

For years, Washington has accused Beijing of instigating cyberattacks against the US. and its allies. Now, a Chinese cybersecurity firm says it has identified hacking within China by a group linked to the National Security Agency, hinting at a rethink of how Beijing handles its geopolitical rival. 

Chinese officials and companies like Huawei Technologies Co. have often responded to U.S. accusations in the past by declaring America the worst cyber-offender of all, pointing in particular to Edward Snowden’s revelations about U.S. espionage.

But this week, Pangu Lab said it discovered U.S.-sponsored hacking activity on Chinese soil. It said it found malware in domestic IT systems it claims was created by hacking group Equation, which is “generally believed” to be linked to the U.S. National Security Agency. In a report issued Feb. 23 and covered by the Communist Party-backed Global Times, Pangu Lab said the malware, called Bvp47, had been discovered within “a key Chinese department” in 2013 and 2015. Pangu Lab claimed the malware infiltrated systems to monitor and track key institutions in 45 countries around the world, including U.S. allies, in a campaign that lasted 10 years.

……

Taiwanese cybersecurity firm TeamT5 said that while Pangu Lab’s report was “one of the most detailed and in-depth forensic investigations published by Chinese cybersecurity firms,” it was curious that they chose a decade-old case to dissect.

“In the future, we think there will be more and more similar attribution reports by Chinese cybersecurity firms being leveraged by the Chinese state media to conduct propaganda campaigns,” analysts at TeamT5 wrote.

【Bloomberg 採訪報導】Chinese Report on Suspected NSA Hack Shows Beijing Pushing Back

Japan Security Analyst Conference 2022 (JSAC2022) held on Jan. 27-28 with virtual & onsite talks. This annual cyber security conference hosted by JPCERT/CC, aimed to bring together security analysts and provide opportunities for them to share technical knowledge related to incident response and analysis.

TeamT5's cybersecurity researcher Leon works with Japan analysts Yusuke Niwa(from ITOCHU Corporation) & Suguru Ishimaru(from Kaspersky Lab) on cyberattack analysis. They presented a joint speech on the topic of "LuoYu: Continuous Espionage Activities Targeting Japan with the new version of WinDealer in 2021". 

In the presentation, they shared case studies with examples of incidents related to Japan and provided an update of the LuoYu group, a deep analysis of WinDealer. Also they told Japanese companies that they need to be aware of these kinds of threats and take countermeasures against this campaign.

The slides of the speech can be downloaded on the official website.

## About JSAC2022

Cyber attacks occur on a daily basis, and its techniques have been constantly changing. Engineers who analyze and respond to them are required to improve their skills to keep up with the ever-changing techniques of cyber attacks. However, there are few occasions in Japan where techniques and knowledge of incident analysis and response are shared among engineers. Security analysts are expected to get together and exchange their technical expertise on incident handling to develop their strength against cyber attacks both individually and as a whole.

To achieve this goal, JPCERT/CC hosts Japan Security Analyst Conference (JSAC), the annual conference for exchanging technical information on cyber security incident analysis and response. In this conference, security analysts who handle security incidents on a daily basis are encouraged to share information with each other to deal with ever-evolving cyber attacks today and in the future.

## 關於JSAC 2022

日本電腦網路危機處理暨協調中心 (JPCERT/CC) 表示每天都會發生網路攻擊事件，攻擊者的技術也在不斷變化。分析和回應這些事件的工程師需要提高他們的技能，以跟上不斷變化的網路攻擊技術與手法。然而在日本，工程師彼此分享事件分析技術和知識的情況較少。資安分析師宜聚在一起交流他們在事件處理方面的技術專長，以增強他們個人和整體對抗網路攻擊的實力。

為實現這一目標，JPCERT/CC 主辦了日本資安分享研討會 JSAC，這是一年一度的網路安全事件分析和回應技術交流會議。在本次會議中，鼓勵每天處理安全事件的工程師分享資訊，以應對當今和未來不斷演變的網路攻擊。

## JSAC 2022について

JPCERT/CC（一般社団法人JPCERTコーディネーションセンター）は、サイバー攻撃によるインシデントは毎日発生しており、攻撃者の技術も変化し続けているとしています。絶え間なく変化するサイバー攻撃の技術や手法を分析して対応するため、エンジニアはスキルアップしなければなりません。しかし、日本ではエンジニア同士でインシデントの分析技術や知識を共有することがあまり行われません。情報セキュリティアナリストが一堂に会し、インシデントの対応方法に関する技術や専門性を共有することで、サイバー攻撃に対抗する個人および全体の力を強化できます。

Japan Security Analyst Conference（JSAC）は、この目標の達成を目指し、JPCERT/CCが一年に一度主催するサイバーセキュリティインシデントの分析および対応技術に関するカンファレンスです。今回のカンファレンスでは、現在および今後も変化し続けるサイバー攻撃に対応するため、日々セキュリティインシデントに対応しているエンジニアによる情報共有が促進されました。

Winnti (APT41) 去年被美國 FBI 起訴，但他們並沒有消失，反而使用更新、更難被察覺的方法來突破資安防線。

TeamT5 針對 Winnti (APT41) 的完整研究成果，於台灣駭客年會 HITCON 2021分享。

本次演講簡報現可於官網下載: [連結](https://hitcon.org/2021/agenda/1abeaad2-5152-4468-91ac-d50a39dd7834/Winnti%20is%20Coming%20-%20Evolution%20after%20Prosecution.pdf)

TeamT5 於台灣駭客年會 HITCON 2021 分享 Winnti (APT41)及相關研究

Since Winnti (APT41) was sued by the FBI last year, the group has not disappeared. Instead, they have used more innovative and less well noticed techniques to evade detection by security products, such as:

- Avoiding memory detection through dll hollowing technique and one miscellaneous method.
- Using DPAPI to encrypt the real payload to make forensics more difficult.
- Abusing the certificate to hide the payload in a signed PE file.
- Using Cloudflare Worker to hide the real IP address.
- Using legitimate tools like InstallUtil to execute code and bypass application whitelisting.

In addition to malware that is known to be used by Winnti , we also found some newly developed malware. There are two new pieces of listening port malware, RBRAT and a Stone variant. We also found a shellcode-based backdoor, Natwalk, and the method it used to call the Windows API was also innovative, making the reversing more difficult.

The group is also more careful in their usage of C2. They use DNS tunneling extensively as well as Cloudflare Worker to hide their real C2 IP.

We have observed that Winnti targeted telecommunications companies, key medical institutions, governments, and major infrastructures in various countries in 2021.
The prosecution did not deter them, but instead prompted them to evolve their attack techniques, and make it harder for researchers to track and detect.

In this talk we provide more details about the campaigns of Winnti , including its innovative TTPs, newly developed malware, lateral movement techniques, and the strategies they used for C2 after they were sued by the FBI.

Slides of the talk can be downloaded on the official website : [Link](https://hitcon.org/2021/agenda/1abeaad2-5152-4468-91ac-d50a39dd7834/Winnti%20is%20Coming%20-%20Evolution%20after%20Prosecution.pdf)

【TeamT5 x CODE BLUE 2021】セキュリティは常に重要です

TeamT5 found one content farm published a disinformation article accusing TeamT5 of conducting phishing attacks against the Japanese government and Japanese tech companies. The actor abused the mechanism of the content farm business for spreading baseless evidence to discredit TeamT5 and the Taiwanese government.

In this clarification, TeamT5 declares that the above-mentioned disinformation are by no means true. TeamT5 has never engaged in any cyber-attacks, and will not accept any commissions to conduct cyber-attacks.

This disinformation attack is in line with the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of state-sponsored information operation that has been observed closely by us. The article is highly possible to be written by non-native Japanese speakers due to the multiple grammar mistakes and many Chinese characters. TeamT5 has shared all the above information with the law enforcement in both Taiwan and Japan. The further detail of this attack is now under investigation.

Since the start of TeamT5, we have been helping our clients and partners to defend against all kinds of cyberattacks. We do not and will never use our resources and products to conduct any cyberattacks. If you require further information, please contact <pr@teamt5.org>.

Clarification on Malicious Disinformation Targeting TeamT5

正值中秋連假之際，某特定內容農場開始散播關於 TeamT5 的謠言。該謠言以日文撰寫，其內容指稱TeamT5 對日本政府與各大日本企業進行釣魚攻擊並大量收集個人資訊云云。

TeamT5 在此嚴正聲明，前開網路謠言絶非事實，TeamT5 從未從事任何網路攻擊的行動，更不會接受任何客戶委託進行網路攻擊之行為。

TeamT5 追查後發現，該造謠者係利用內容農場商業模式讓該不實內容於中文和日文的內容農場偕同轉發。但該內容不僅偽造釣魚信件的截圖，其內更有大量日文文法錯誤與錯字，還有許多中文詞彙假冒在其中，種種跡象均顯示該謠言撰稿者係偽冒成日文母語人士撰寫日文新聞稿。

初步分析後，TeamT5 情資團隊認為這起謠言的手法符合我們過往研究的國家級駭客散播不實新聞的戰術、技術和流程（Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, TTPs）。目前 TeamT5 已將相關分析與證據備份，並已通報請台日雙邊的調查單位協助偵查。

謹再次重申，TeamT5 自創立以來，協助所有的客戶與夥伴阻擋各類網路威脅。我們過去、現在以及未來都不會主動發起或接受委託從事任何網路攻擊活動。

当社に関する偽情報の流布及び誹謗中傷への対応について

[This is an expert of the article. Read more at [CNN](https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/23/tech/taiwan-china-cybersecurity-intl-hnk/index.html)]

In an exclusive interview with CNN last month, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu accused China of using military intimidation, disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks to undermine the Taiwanese population's trust in their own government.

"They want to shape Taiwanese people's cognition that Taiwan is very dangerous, and Taiwan cannot do without China," he said. "[But] Taiwan has some very good capability in dealing with cyberattacks. And that is because of our long experience dealing with the cyber activities initiated by the Chinese side."

Chien, the Taiwanese cybersecurity department leader, said the self-governing island has been subject to tens of millions of attacks monthly, a trend the government has recorded for at least the last few years.

But he said Taiwan has been able to defend against most attempts and serious breaches resulting in stolen data or paralyzed services numbered about 10 over the last year.
Chien declined to go into specific details about those attacks, and was willing only to cite successful hacks of Taiwan's education system, which resulted in student data being stolen.

Even if a cyber intrusion is resolved, such attacks can have long-term consequences because of the kind of information that attackers can gain access to, according to Tsai Sung-ting, CEO of Team T5, a Taiwanese cybersecurity solution provider.

"We frequently observe that after they compromise an organization, the first thing is to steal the emails and documents," he said. "So even after you clean the infection this time, they may come back next month or a few months later. So I will say the threat is persistent."
