近年來，為了防範進階持續性攻擊（Advanced Persistent Threat, APT），許多資安業者相繼投入端點防護領域，進行端點的事件分析，以助於定位威脅所在與制定因應措施。但多數的作法，大多是依照偵測工具內建規則，決定該事件的風險高低程度，意即以「一套標準」套用於所有的企業客戶。

 

# 風險防護也可以「客製化」

針對資安防護，各企業領域要求的重點或許略有不同。在端點防護上，具體完整的 APT 攻擊事件，無庸置疑須視為高度威脅優先處理。除此之外，尚有許多其他風險事件（例如違反企業內部規範），各家企業實際上也具備不同的需求。

企業資安防護需求有異，TeamT5 的 ThreatSonar 惡意威脅鑑識分析平台提供了最大的彈性，推出最新功能「風險訂閱」（Threat Subscription），客製化您專屬的威脅防護。

 

## 您在乎的威脅，優先追蹤

透過 ThreatSonar 風險訂閱功能，企業用戶可以依照公司本身的防範策略原則，主動決定要優先針對哪些風險事件進行防護與告警，協助企業確保自家資安防範原則（Policy）的落實管理。舉例來說，公司內部是否有同仁的電腦（被）安裝了 VPN 遠端連線工具？又或是否有任何中國製軟體在企業內使用？ThreatSonar 都能替您把關，偵測威脅、發出告警。

有了 ThreatSonar 風險訂閱，我們為每位客戶打造專屬的風險防護，不再「一套規則打天下」。

 

## 自己的風險等級，自己決定

透過 ThreatSonar 風險訂閱，我們可客製化為企業把關風險事件，但是風險項目眾多、資安人力有限，且風險等級也可能隨著公司政策調整而改變。

有鑑於此，除了訂閱風險項目，ThreatSonar 風險訂閱功能更提供「自訂風險等級」支援，資安人員可以自行決定風險等級，例如可設定哪些高風險攻擊事件發生時，需要立即處理、哪些屬於可疑事件，需進一步調查、哪些風險事件僅為低風險等級（例如，同仁的資訊設備使用方式違反公司資安規範）。

風險等級可自行決定且隨時調整，提升企業資安防護的彈性與便利性，企業可以更有效率地分配內部資安人力，依照不同風險等級進行相關處理。

 

## 資安事件即時告警，事件調查不再複雜

在過去，資安人員若要調查企業是否已遭到遠端存取木馬程式（Remote Access Trojan, RAT）入侵，通常需要確認幾項檔案特徵，例如風險檔案是否嘗試列舉檔案或行程（Process）、是否正在進行網路連線等，當上述特徵行為皆存在，就可以確認端點已遭到木馬程式攻擊。然而，需要考量的特徵非常多，且這些行為可能分布於數個風險檔案上，使得整體事件調查相對費時。

透過 ThreatSonar 風險訂閱功能，我們幫您組合多個特徵行為，針對單一資安攻擊事件發出明確且即時的告警，不只有效降低資安人員調查的負擔，又可即時回應與處置重要資安事件。

近期國際間不斷發生加密勒索資安事件，受害產業橫跨政府機關、科技製造、交通運輸、軟體開發、衛生醫療、學術研究等。TeamT5 根據情資研究與數起資安事件調查成果，綜整近期針對型加密事件的面貌。

 

## 加密勒索攻擊演化
說到加密勒索攻擊，就不能不談到惡名昭彰的 WannaCry 病毒。WannaCry 病毒在 2017 年造成大規模感染，起因於該病毒針對 SMBv1 漏洞（CVE-2017-0143 ~ CVE-2017-0148）使用永恆之藍（EternalBlue）工具進行入侵。WannaCry 病毒入侵感染第一台主機後，會對主機硬碟和儲存裝置中的各式檔案進行加密，然後再利用 SMBv1 漏洞，主動擴散傳播到其他主機上，進而造成全球超過數百萬台電腦被加密感染。

_圖一、WannaCry 加密勒索訊息_

 

然而，加密勒索攻擊在近幾年出現質變，逐漸從自動化攻擊轉為由駭客組織躲藏在背後操弄，受害對象也逐漸轉變成大型企業。駭客為避免受害者直接進行系統還原或重建，導致無法有效獲得贖金款項，進而開始竊取受害者的內部機敏資料，並藉由恐嚇公開資料，逼迫受害者繳付贖金。[ZDent](https://www.zdnet.com/article/ransomware-gangs-are-now-cold-calling-victims-if-they-restore-from-backups-without-paying/) 就曾報導 Sekhmet、Maze、Conti 與 Ryuk 等駭客組織存在「催債單位」，會主動與受害者聯繫，威脅若不繳付贖金將公開所竊取的機敏資料。

## 針對型加密勒索
TeamT5 從情資研究與資安事件成果，歸納目前針對型勒索攻擊分為四大步驟，分別為入侵、水平移動、資料竊取與檔案加密階段。

 •入侵階段
</h3>

駭客入侵受害環境，主要是透過系統或設備的漏洞與社交郵件兩種管道。根據資安事件調查的結果，駭客所利用的漏洞為 ExChange ProxyLogon（CVE-2021-26858 與 CVE-2021-27065）與 SSL VPN（CVE-2019-11510、CVE-2019-11542、CVE-2019-11539、CVE-2019-11538、CVE-2019-11508、CVE-2019-11540 與 CVE-2019-11507）為主；而社交郵件則會搭配惡意連結，讓使用者點擊後不經意遭植入惡意程式，如 Drive-by-Download 攻擊手法。

_圖四、駭客利用 IE 漏洞（CVE-2020-0968）搭配 Drive-by-Download 手法植入惡意程式_

 

<h3>
 •水平移動階段
</h3>

駭客成功入侵受害環境搶下灘頭堡後，會開始進行後續入侵攻擊（Post-Compromise），目的是為了找到網域伺服器或檔案伺服器等高價值主機。在此階段，駭客會使用 Mimikatz 這類的密碼竊工具取得主機上的帳號密碼，並試著透過各種網路掃描工具，如 nbtscan、TCP Scan 或 ADFind 等駭客工具，找到其他可入侵的內部主機。接下來，駭客會嘗試使用先前取得的帳號密碼登入，其登入方式包含廣為人知的 PsExec 工具程式，最後在受害主機上建立後門程式，以便駭客長期連入控制之用，近期常見的後門程式多為使用 Cobalt Strike 框架建立 Stager 或 Beacon 等後門管道。

![2104_5.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/dvgomg5gh/image/upload/v1618468165/2104_5_9b984c5e4c.png)

<h3>
 •資料竊取階段
</h3>


駭客成功入侵至網域伺服器或檔案伺服器主機後，會嘗試從中取得受害單位內部的機敏資料，如產品開發、客戶資訊、財務資訊等機敏檔案。下圖七為 TeamT5 於某事件中偵測到駭客利用 WinRAR 壓縮工具，試圖遠端加密壓縮特定資料夾內容。

<h3>
 •檔案加密階段
</h3>

當駭客成功取得受害者內部的機敏資料後，才會肆無忌憚地開始進行大規模主機加密行動。根據 TeamT5 實地調查的案例，駭客會在各主機植入加密程式，等到取得機敏資料後才透過 AD GPO 大量且快速地執行檔案加密攻擊，且駭客開始採用合法的檔案加密程式進行惡意加密攻擊。如下圖畫面，攻擊者早在 7 月就已植入加密程式，但是等到 12 月才發動加密攻擊，代表攻擊潛伏期長達數個月之久。且駭客所使用的加密程式 bcl.exe 為 Jetico 公司所開發的商用資料加密軟體，該軟體本意是為了達到資料隱私保護之用，卻被駭客利用成為加密勒索攻擊的一環。

## 轉換一下您的防禦思維
看到現在，各位應該發現針對型加密勒索攻擊是個細膩且漫長的攻擊行動，為了不打草驚蛇讓受害者早早發現，駭客開始使用許多合法商用軟體替代自行開發的惡意程式。在許多防禦機制都在強調如何阻斷檔案加密的當下，卻忽略了我們有數周至數個月的時間可以發現駭客的潛在威脅，又或是如果駭客使用合法程式來掩護非法攻擊，該如何有效偵測及識別，乃至於阻擋呢？

或許我們該轉換一下防禦思維，如果能在駭客入侵初期的潛伏階段就能有效識別，進而修補漏洞、清除惡意程式，阻斷駭客持續控制內部受害環境，便能避免未來發生大規模檔案加密的攻擊。

刻在你我心底的痛！可怕的加密勒索攻擊

**By TeamT5 杜浦數位安全 技術長 李庭閣 Charles Li**

2020 年被公認為充滿混亂與災禍的一年。各式各樣的大事件諸如新冠肺炎、中亞東歐台海等地的地緣政治衝突、英國脫歐、美國總統大選都將世界各地的人們帶向跟過去截然不同的生活。TeamT5 在過去一年中持續幫助受到國家力量支持的針對性攻擊行動（或稱 APT 攻擊）所受害的單位。同時間 TeamT5 的威脅情資團隊也主動追蹤 APT 攻擊者的各類行蹤。跟真實世界相比較，網路世界的混亂情況並不亞於我們於現實世界所見，同時網路世界的衝突有很大一部份是真實世界的映射或延伸。本篇文章將探討 TeamT5 在 2020 年所觀察到的台灣威脅態勢。

在本篇文章中，我們首先會為您介紹我們在 2020 年所觀察到的重大趨勢，包含了：

- APT 攻擊的演進，網路間諜不再是唯一的攻擊手段
- 供應鏈攻擊成為 2020 年 APT 攻擊的主要攻擊方式之一
- 由新冠肺炎所引發的網路攻擊

接著我們會針對所觀察到的攻擊行動進行分析，試圖以產業別以及攻擊族群視角來進行網路威脅情資的剖析。文章的最後則是我們對如何應對網路攻擊不斷變化的建議作為總結。

 

### 網路間諜不再是唯一的攻擊手段

2020 年所公開的網路攻擊中，影響最深遠的當數中國 APT 攻擊者於五月時針對多個能源產業公司所進行的勒索軟體攻擊 [1]。TeamT5 研究顯示，這是一個來自中國惡名昭彰的 APT 攻擊族群，規畫已久的攻擊行動。這個行動究竟是攻擊者單純以獲取金錢為目的所發起的勒索行動，抑或是以勒索軟體為掩護的政治嚇阻行動（時值 520 台灣總統上任前），背後的答案依舊成謎。無論如何，本次的攻擊行為已為中國對台 APT 攻擊行動劃下新的里程碑：中國 APT 已針對台灣進行二十年以上的攻擊，但行動範圍都維持在竊取機密為目的而進行的網路間諜行動，這次攻擊意味著攻擊者將開始採用更多元的戰術來對台灣進行網路打擊行動。

另一個發生在 PTT BBS 論壇上的攻擊行動可以佐證我們的臆測：在 2020 年七月，TeamT5 追蹤了一連串的 BBS 爆料貼文，試圖詆毀台灣政府與軍方的形象，攻擊者使用了多個境外跳板 IP 位址來試圖隱藏他們的來源，然而 TeamT5 的情資資料庫顯示，其中一個來源 IP 曾被某個鎖定台灣已久的 APT 攻擊族群所使用；無獨有偶，我們也獲得某訊息來源指出，該 APT 族群正是隱身在此次行動背後的攻擊者。我們相信這兩個事件正是一個警訊，告訴我們中國 APT 族群正在嘗試各種過去沒使用過的手法來做更多樣性的攻擊行動。

 

### 供應鏈攻擊成為 2020 年 APT 攻擊的主要攻擊方式之一

TeamT5 曾在過去示警過供應鏈攻擊手法的危險性 [2]，研究顯示它在 2020 年已經成為 APT 攻擊的一種主要入侵手法之一：2020 年十二月被揭露的 SolarWinds/SUNBURST 攻擊行動無疑是當前最成功的案例之一，受害目標包含了許多美國高層政府部門，全球前五百大公司，甚至數個資安廠商本身也在本次攻擊中被攻擊者攻陷，它的手法精細而行動縝密，以致於目前仍無法掌握整個攻擊全貌。在台灣，TeamT5 也觀察到至少三波的攻擊行動使用了類似的手法：攻擊者先針對服務供應商進行滲透，再進一步利用供應商的產品或服務當跳板來直接進入終端用戶，包含政府部門或其他各產業的公司。前兩波的攻擊行動已於八月間被法務部調查局所公開揭露 [3]，而第三波攻擊行動仍在調查中。我們目前已觀察到數十家甚至上百的台灣公私單位被這些行動所成功滲透，而且至少有三個來自中國的 APT 族群參與其中。

 

### 由新冠肺炎所引發的網路攻擊

第三個攻擊趨勢則為新冠肺炎所趨使的網路攻擊行動。隨著新冠肺炎疫情爆發數週內，TeamT5 就觀察到有國家支持的網路攻擊者開始疫情相關的情報蒐集；隨著時序進入下半年，攻擊者的目標開始轉向疫苗發展資訊的蒐集，可以看出網路攻擊行動隨著現實世界改變的趨勢。在台灣，TeamT5 也分析了數個以新冠疫情為主題所進行的攻擊行動，甚至有數波針對醫療相關部門的針對性攻擊行動。我們相信只要疫情尚未消散的一天，相關的攻擊行動就會持續進行。

TeamT5 威脅情資團隊在 2020 年分析了近百個來自中國的 APT 攻擊。統計結果顯示，政府和軍方部門仍為最大的攻擊目標，相對應的攻擊事件超過了總數的四分之一，幾乎每個在台灣地區有活動的 APT 族群都會嘗試攻擊相關部門，主要的原因在於 APT 的主要目標是獲取國家相關的機密情資。值得注意的是，針對資訊產業的攻擊在 2020 年躍升為第二大，顯示 APT 攻擊對資訊公司的高度興趣，主要的原因應與前述的供應鏈攻擊趨勢有關：這些資訊產業公司往往同時服務許多客戶並橫跨不同部門產業，攻陷這些資訊公司提供攻擊者一個絕佳的跳板來進一步滲透終端客戶。

能源產業是 2020 年被針對的第三大產業，TeamT5 觀察到至少有五個族群針對能源產業鏈中的多個部門進行滲透，我們認為這是一個徵兆，顯示敵人試圖控制台灣關鍵基礎設施的野心，因為這些部門在戰爭時期將會成為優先被癱瘓的目標。教育和智庫單位長久以來也名列 APT 攻擊目標排行榜中，相對應的攻擊數量在 2020 年位居第四名，主要的原因在於這些單位中的研究人員往往參與了政府的研究計畫或是政策制定。半導體產業是我們觀察到第五大被針對的目標，由於中國官方將半導體明定為十三五和十四五計畫中重點扶植的產業，這些攻擊應為有計劃性的網路間諜活動，目的在於竊取台灣相關的智慧財權或產業機密。醫療和運輸產業也是兩個在 2020 年被中國 APT 重點性針對的目標產業，如同前述，我們相信新冠肺炎可能是一個趨使攻擊者針對醫療產業的主要因素；交通相關產業部份，TeamT5 觀察到一個值得注意的現象：有一個我們稱為 GouShe（亦稱為 TroppicTropper、Keyboy）的 APT 族群特別針對台灣的交通運輸相關部門進行滲透，2020 年間的相關攻擊事件有七成以上均來自該族群。

![0510-1.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/dvgomg5gh/image/upload/v1620618167/0510_1_bceb3b6be1.png)
_2020 年 APT 攻擊目標產業分佈_

 

TeamT5 於 2020 年間共追蹤了至少九個 APT 族群的攻擊行動，當中有八個是來自中國。HUAPI（亦稱為 BlackTech、PLEAD）是所有族群中最具野心的一群，他們的攻擊行動佔了我們所觀察到總數近三成，而且攻擊目標幾乎涵蓋了上述的所有產業。我們在前面所提到的台灣供應鏈攻擊行動他們也都有參與。APT27（亦稱 EmissaryPanda、IronTiger、LuckyMouse、BronzeUnion）、GouShe 和 AMOEBA（亦稱 APT41、Barium、Winnti）也是在 2020 年攻擊台灣的數個主要攻擊來源族群：據 TeamT5 研究，APT27 主要攻擊政府、醫療和金融相關單位和產業。GouShe 近一、兩年的攻擊行動，展現了針對交通運輸部門和產業的高度興趣，同時我們也在能源和政府單位觀察到他們的蹤跡，TeamT5 針對此族群追蹤了近十年，研究結果顯示該族群可能接受所屬單位指令來監控台灣的關鍵基礎設施，並可能在關鍵時刻針對這些單位進行控制和接管。

AMOEBA 在過去一年間主要攻擊目標包含了能源、半導體產業，教育智庫單位和資訊產業，從攻擊目標推斷，他們的主要目的偏向於智財和產業機密竊取，但我們不排除攻擊者會嘗試利用攻擊獲取成果進行二次利用，如同他們在五月間所進行的勒索攻擊行動一樣。SLIME1、SLIME9、SLIME13 是 TeamT5 對三個中國 APT 攻擊行動的暫時行動代稱，我們在近幾年都有持續觀察到他們的行動。Polaris（亦稱 MustangPanda）則是一個針對幾乎中國鄰近國家的 APT 族群，我們在三、四月間發現有多個來自他們的釣魚信件針對台灣政府和研究單位進行攻擊，我們推測他們試圖蒐集新冠肺炎相關疫情資訊。最後，我們在台灣也有發現一個由北韓 APT 族群 Lazarus 所使用的 Linux 後門工具，但沒有進一步資訊可以確認受害者身份資訊，雖然台灣在政治上並非北韓 APT 的主要攻擊目標，但由於 Lazarus 族群被公認肩負為北韓政府籌措財源的責任，舉例來說，2017 年發生在台灣銀行的 SWIFT 系統攻擊事件就是由 Lazarus 所為，此樣本也許是一個顯示 Lazarus 仍持續在台灣地區有活動跡象的警訊。

### 結語

TeamT5 相信認識敵人是有效對抗針對性攻擊的第一步，而本文章主要針對 2020 年間所觀察到的 APT 網路攻擊態勢，提供一個概觀說明。TeamT5 威脅情資研究顯示 APT 攻擊手法持續進化，真正高端複雜的行動已經不可能由單一個資安產品做有效的防護。TeamT5 [ThreatVision](https://teamt5.org/tw/products/threatvision/) 是一個以網路威脅情資為核心概念的防護方案，同時我們有一群專業的專家分析師持續做研究來讓我們持續領先於攻擊者的腳步。

2020 年台灣 APT 網路攻擊態勢

**By TeamT5 CTO Charles Li**

2020 was considered to be a year of chaos and disaster. Big events such as the outbreak of COVID-19, geopolitical conflicts escalations in several areas, Brexit, and the U.S. president election, all influenced people around the world. In 2020, TeamT5 continued helping numerous security breaches caused by state sponsored targeted instruction attacks (APT) . In the meantime, TeamT5 intelligence Team proactively tracked APT actors’ new activities. Compared with real world, the cyber world was also full of turmoil in 2020 and many of them are reflections or extensions to events in real world. In this article, we will discuss our observation of APT trends in Taiwan in 2020.

In this article, we will first walk you through some remarkable trends, including:

- Evolution of APT tactic
- Supply Chain attack became a primary method in APT attacks
- COVID-19 driven cyber attacks

We will try to dissect the attacks happened in Taiwan in industrial view and adversarial view, which is a common method in threat intelligence analysis. Last part will be our conclusion and suggestions to respond with APT attacks.

 

### Evolution of APT tactic

In 2020, the most notable APT event in public would be the ransom-attack that strike several energy related companies in May [1]. TeamT5 research shows it to be a well-organized campaign from a notorious Chinese adversary group. Whether financial gain or political deterrence is the real motivation behind the ransom-attack remains a mystery. However, it has marked a milestone of China’s cyber-attacks against Taiwan: Chinese APT have aimed Taiwan for more than 20 years but only limited in cyber espionage operations in the past but the threat actors are now exercising new tactics to evade us.

Another cyber-attack supporting our hypothesis occurred on PTT, the most popular BBS platform in Taiwan. TeamT5 tracked a series of posts related to some scandals, with attempts to uglify Taiwanese governments or military, on PTT in July 2020. The actors abused hopping servers from various countries to hide their footprints. However, TeamT5 intelligence database shows that one of the source IP address was also used by a Chinese APT that has targeted Taiwan for more than ten years. Besides, another private source also verified the same APT group to be the culprit behind the attack. We consider both events to be indicators of China’s expansion on offensive cyber operations, which we have not observed in the past.

 

### Supply Chain attack becoming a primary method in APT attacks

Supply chain attack has become a major intrusion method for threat actors in 2020 and TeamT5 had warned such tactic in advance [2]. SolarWinds breach was undoubtedly the most successful story among them. Many high-profile US government agencies, Fortune 500 companies and even cybersecurity vendors were affected. It is so sophisticated that the scope is still uncertain yet. In Taiwan, we also observed at least three waves of similar attacks that infiltrated service providers and further leveraged their products or services to infect more victims. The first two had been published by the Ministry of Justice Bureau (MJIB) of Taiwan in August [3]. The third was still under investigation and the impact could be even bigger. We have seen a significant numbers of government agencies or private corporates in Taiwan being compromised. TeamT5 research shows that at least 3 distinct China nexus group were involved in these operations.

 

### COVID-19 driven cyber attacks

Another interesting phenomenon would be COVID-19 related cyber-attacks. Soon after the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, we observed state sponsored actors collecting intelligence for the pandemic. In the second half of 2020, threat actors shifted their focus to chasing COVID-19 vaccine information with the advance of COVID-19 vaccine development. In Taiwan, TeamT5 also intercepted several spear phishing emails using COVID-19 as lure theme or even more campaigns related to healthcare related entities. We believe the trend will continue as long as the COVID-19 pandemic still exists.

TeamT5 Intelligence Team had analyzed around one hundred APT attacks from China in 2020. Our statistic shows government and military agencies are still the biggest target and attacks against them counts for more than 1/4 in total and almost every APT groups that are active in Taiwan are coveting them. This trend has lasted for long since the ultimate goal of Chinese espionage operation is to obtain confidential national information. Information Technology (IT) industry also got attention a lot by APT actors and TeamT5 has observed a dramatical increase of attacks against IT industry. We believe this phenomenon is a result of threat actors’ attempts to abuse supply chain attacks and IT companies are considered to be good hopping points by actors to access various industries.

The third industry being targeted in 2020 is Energy industry and TeamT5 had observed at least attacks from 5 adversary groups. It could be a sign of our adversaries’ ambitions to control our critical industries because they will be top priorities of sabotages in wartime. Education or think tanks have been long ranked as the most attacked victims because they tend to involve in classified research projects hosted by governments or political decision makings. There were several targeted attacks against companies in semiconductor industries. It makes sense since Semiconductor industry is listed as a priority to be fostered by Chinese authority in their thirteen and fourteen Five-Year projects. Cyber espionage was also adopted as a mean to improve their techniques. Healthcare and transportation are also two industries that got coveted by APT actors. As we mentioned in the previous paragraph, COVID-19 could be an incentive for APT actors to attack Healthcare industries. Lastly, we would like to raise a phenomenon TeamT5 observed: There was an adversary group which we called GouShe (a.k.a TroppicTropper, Keyboy) focus on infiltrating Transportation related entities in Taiwan. More than 70% of transportation related cases we observed were from this specific group.

![0510-1.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/dvgomg5gh/image/upload/v1620618167/0510_1_bceb3b6be1.png)
_2020 APT target industries distribution_

 

TeamT5 has tracked activities from at least 9 APT groups and 8 of them are from China. HUAPI (a.k.a BlackTech/PLEAD) was definitely the most ambitious group in Taiwan. Their attacks counts around 30% of incidents we analyzed and the targeting scope includes almost all the industries we listed. The supply chain attacks we mentioned in previous paragraphs were also conducted by them. APT27 (a.k.a EmissaryPanda, IronTiger, LuckyMouse, BronzeUnion), GouShe and AMOEBA (a.k.a APT41, Barium, Winnti) are groups that are quite active in 2020. APT27 was mostly attacking government, healthcare, and financial entities. GouShe showed a peculiar interest in transportation related entities while their footprints are also observed in energy and government entities. TeamT5 has tracked this group for many years. Our research shows that the actors might bear some responsibility from their higher commands to monitor some critical infrastructure facilities in Taiwan and take control of them in case of emergency status.

AMOEBA attacked energy companies, semiconductor companies, educational institutes, and IT companies. Their primary goal appears to be more for intellectual property or secret theft. But the possibilities exist that the actor might further leverage their achievement, like what they did in the ransom-attack in May. SLIME1, SLIME9 and SLIME13 are temporary code names for three Chinese APT campaigns against Taiwan that have lasted for a few years. Their activities still continued in 2020. Polaris (a.k.a MustangPanda) is another Chinese APT group that attacked almost all neighboring countries of China. We intercepted several of their spear phishing emails against government and research institutes in early stage of COVID-19 and we surmise they were gathering for information related to pandemic. One last interesting discovery: we discovered some Linux based malware used by Lazarus, a notorious North Korean APT group, circulated in Taiwan but we are unable to obtain the victim identity information. Although Taiwan is not a primary target of North Korean APT. But the Lazarus actors are believed to bear financial supporting responsibilities for their government agencies. For example, Lazarus is believed to be the culprit behind a Taiwanese bank SWIFT heist in 2017 [4]. The sample we uncovered might suggest their activities still exist in Taiwan.

APT Threat Landscape of Taiwan in 2020

上週美國輸油管系統營運商遭到勒索軟體攻擊，暫停所有管線運作，可能造成燃料短缺而導致油價上漲，引發市場擔憂，而近年層出不窮的勒索攻擊事件，日益嚴重，目標式攻擊手法推陳出新，已非傳統防禦方式所能抵擋，有效的資安防護成為市場迫切之需。

TeamT5 杜浦數位安全（以下簡稱 TeamT5）創辦人兼執行長蔡松廷表示：「面對進階型的威脅，防禦會是比較困難的，資安最難的地方在於要做的事太多了，做對了就會有效，如果做錯方向，對於防護就沒有效果。 TeamT5 由端點切入，提供 MDR（Managed Detection and Response，威脅偵測應變）從雲端偵測異常並通報，比較特別的是，TeamT5 團隊做很多情資研究，透過對攻擊者的了解，可以預測到他的下一步，讓客戶知道什麼防護要先做，做真正對的方向。」

【工商時報】又一重大勒索軟體攻擊 TeamT5：資安防禦做對方向是關鍵

一年一度的 CYBERSEC 2021 臺灣資安大會於 5 月 4 日至 6 日在南港展覽二館圓滿落幕，TeamT5 杜浦數位安全（以下簡稱 TeamT5）今年以三大重點參展：「最佳夥伴」、「對抗勒索」、「情資決勝」，在網路攻擊不斷轉型、進化的今日，TeamT5 將成為您最可靠的盟友，共同對抗網路威脅。

面對近年來國際間頻繁發生的加密勒索資安事件，攻擊手法與目標對象逐漸轉型，使得勒索攻擊成為當前企業最擔憂的網路威脅。TeamT5 長年研究、追蹤進階持續性攻擊（Advanced Persistent Threat, APT），在本次資安大會上，我們獨家公開全新升級的 ThreatSonar 威脅補網，提出對抗勒索攻擊的防護解方。

![AX0_6835.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/dvgomg5gh/image/upload/v1621322561/AX_0_6835_790f9537f0.jpg)
_TeamT5 首席架構師 Nanika 向大家介紹 ThreatSonar 全面升級的勒索防堵策略_

 

TeamT5 提出「勒索全面防堵」策略，我們的 ThreatSonar 威脅狩獵解決方案，能夠有效偵測 APT 針對型攻擊，與既有資安解決方案互補而非取代，成為企業在資安攻防的強力守護神。以事件處理的角度來看，勒索軟體與 APT 攻擊事件幾近相同，唯一不同之處在於攻擊者會藉此勒索受害者、獲取贖金，唯有全面性解決，才能讓人員更有效進行處理，在防堵的同時擬定執行策略。

關於 REvil 勒索軟體與其背後組織的來歷與特性，資安業者 TeamT5 近期統整多方面曝光資訊，讓國內對於此攻擊族群可以有更深入的瞭解。該組織採 RaaS 模式經營、最多擁有 80 個合作夥伴，且整體族群手法多元。

今年上半年，臺灣大型科技業者接連傳出遭遇勒索軟體攻擊，並被駭客要求支付高額贖金，在 3 月下旬到 4 月下旬期間，已曝光的業者就包括：臺灣電腦大廠宏碁，封測大廠日月光集團旗下孫公司 Asteelflash Group，以及筆電代工大廠廣達。

而這三起事件的共通點，背後都是同一駭客組織所為，其中日月光集團孫公司事發後已公布調查結果，是遭 REvil 勒索軟體攻擊，至於宏碁與廣達的事件，他們雖沒有說明是哪支勒索軟體，但有不少資安專家都明確指出：應是遭到 REvil 勒索軟體攻擊。

到底這個 REvil 的身分與來歷是什麼？在今年臺灣資安大會上，長期追蹤研究駭客活動的 TeamT5 杜浦數位安全執行長蔡松廷，特別針對 REvil 的背景，將目前已經曝光的資訊做出全面統整，透過對此犯罪組織的側寫與描述，幫助臺灣資安界對 REvil 背後的攻擊族群，能有更全面的了解。

【臺灣資安大會直擊】近期臺灣大型企業接連傳出遭 REvil 攻擊，TeamT5 徹底剖析

In March 2021, another REvil's attack was announced. Targeting the computer giant Acer, the actors behind the ransomware asked for 50 million dollars, the highest ransom they have demanded so far. Acer was not the only victim of the notorious ransomware. Debuted in April 2019, REvil has attacked hundreds of high-profile agencies in multiple sectors. In 2020, REvil has earned more than 100 million.[1] In this report, we will introduce the basic profile of REvil and share the techniques they used in operations. 


## What is REvil 

REvil, a.k.a Sodinokibi, is a Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) operation deployed by a Russian cybercrime group named GOLD SOUTHFIELD or Pinchy Spider. The group is believed to be based in Russia, as it does not attack organizations in Post-Soviet States, and refuse to cooperate with English speaking cyber criminals.[2] 

REvil was highly possible the successor of GandCrab, another notorious ransomware, because of code similarities and REvil's active operations right after GandCrab's retirement.[3]

![REvil_1.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/dvgomg5gh/image/upload/v1621845336/R_Evil_1_035a848033.png)

_Figure 3: REvil and GandCrab's similarity on building ransom wallpaper_

 

Numerous campaigns attacking multiple sectors were observed all over the world. The REvil actors has attacked local governments, giant law firms, multinational retailers, etc. The highest ransom they have asked was 42 million for the law firm but was now surpassed by the 50 million Acer attack. (References for the events, please see the end of this page.[4])

_Figure 4: The timeline of REvil's notorious attacks_

 

## The Ransomware as a Service model (RaaS)

The actors of REvil adopt the Ransomware as a Service business model. In this model, Ransomware developers are responsible for development and maintenance of the ransomware, while the groups of cyber criminals, named affiliates in this model, are responsible for accessing victims' system to distribute the ransomware. The business model allows cyber criminals who are not capable of developing their own ransomware to buy the service on dark web and deploy ransomware attack. 
 
Through this model, REvil actors provide REvil or the customized version of REvil to their affiliates. After they successfully breached victims' systems, REvil actors will ask for ransom by themselves, providing the ransom payment link. After the collection of money, their affiliates will receive 60% to 75% of the profit. Moreover, the actors also provide other paid services, such as money laundering assistance for the affiliates. 

![May_blog_3.jpeg](https://res.cloudinary.com/dvgomg5gh/image/upload/v1620634812/May_blog_3_71c24e74f2.jpg)

 

## Tactic, Techniques and Procedures
### Initial Access
For REvil, different affiliates may use different methods for initial access. The ransomware is now distributed primarily through compromised RDP sessions (65%), phishing (16%), and software vulnerabilities (8%).[5] However, a supply chain attack distributing REvil was also observed.

REvils' actors said in an interview that they used brute force attacks to compromise RDP sessions.[1] As for phishing emails, the cyber criminals have once disguised their email as a new booking from "booking.com". They also exploit vulnerabilities. In fact, REvil's debut was exploiting the Oracle Weblogic vulnerability, CVE-2019-2725. Moreover, the actors are able to deploy new vulnerabilities after its disclosure. For example, the group used the recent disclosed Microsoft Exchange server vulnerability to access Acer's system.

The most astounding technique they deployed is supply chain attack. Around June 2019, a WINRAR distributor site in Italy was hacked.[6][7] The software downloaded from the site at that time was not the WINRAR installer but the REvil installer. Although no public announcements showing that any company was infected in this attack, the successful replacement shows that their affiliates were able to deploy a supply chain attack. 

Apart from their various method on initial access, the cyber criminals also adopted several unique techniques. For example, REvil used Elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange to encrypt files, while other ransomware often used RSA, Salsa20 or AES to do so. This method is more efficient as it used shorter key and is difficult to decrypt. 

 

## The Effective Methods for Ransom Collection
Nowadays, as ransomware attacks become a serious problem, most companies have learned to back up crucial data in case they are hit by a ransomware. However, ransomware actors develop several new methods to ensure that the victims will pay the ransom, including Double-extortion, VoIP calling, and DDoS attack.

- "Double-extortion"
The actors disclose or sell the data of the company if the company is not willing to pay ransom. This method was first introduced by Maze, another notorious ransomware, and currently almost all ransomware actors have adopted this method, and so as REvil. Starting from January 2020, the group runs their own site "Happy Blog", where they post data extorted from their victims.

- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calling
In February 2021, they announced that they are now offering Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calling and DDoS attack service for their affiliates to make pressure on their victims.[8] They stated that they will call the media or their victims' business partners, telling them about the attack. 

 

## Detect and Defense
For prevention, it is always crucial to be aware of spamming emails. Nowadays, spamming emails is still the most popular and effective method to access victims' computers. 

In addition, keep an eye on new exploits and updates is also important. Ransomware groups usually are not capable of discovering 0-day exploits by themselves, but they will exploit the disclosed vulnerabilities and attack those who have not updated their system. Thus, keep computers updated and patched systems immediately after the disclosure is essential for preventing ransomware attack.

Furthermore, as the REvil business grows, the actors behind has posted on dark web to recruit more affiliates for their operations. Thus, more attacks from the group is expected. TeamT5 will keep following the ransomware and provide up-to-date information of the notorious ransomware.

To efficiently prevent ransomware attacks, TeamT5 offers a total solution for enterprise protection. Our unique ransomware containment technology is proven to successfully block many types of ransomware, which can detect and stop malicious ransomware immediately. And even restore encrypted files from the backup.

# 前言

法務部調查局綜整近期所偵辦的數起台灣政府機關遭駭案件，於 19 日發表記者會，提到政府部門的委外資訊服務供應商遭中國駭客組織攻擊現況，目前已知有市政府、水資源局等至少 10 個單位，以及 4 家資訊服務供應商遇害。

調查局資安工作站也發現，駭客在入侵政府機關內部的主機與伺服器後，為了要長期潛伏以及將獲取資料傳出，還會安裝 SoftEther VPN 程式，以連線到駭客指定的中繼站。

本次調查局公布的攻擊族群：MustangPanda、APT40、Blacktech 與 Taidoor，皆是 TeamT5 長期追蹤的標的，我們有信心能夠偵測這些族群使用的後門程式、駭客工具以及攻擊手法。

# 如何透過威脅狩獵找出 SoftEther VPN 程式
根據法務部調查局的偵辦結果，駭客為了長期潛伏於受害環境，因此會透過 SoftEther 這類的合法 VPN 程式進行遠端控制。ThreatSonar 具備主動威脅狩獵（Threat Hunting）功能，故可以快速地在環境中找出 SoftEther VPN 程式。

其步驟為在威脅狩獵（Hunter）功能中，切換 Scope 至憑證（Certificate），搜尋 "filename ~ softether"（請選擇 Engine Version 為全選），可依憑證內容搜尋環境內符合條件的 SoftEther 憑證及其對應的端點與程式清單。其流程步驟示意圖如下。

為了增進大眾對於 APT 攻擊族群的認識，長期進行駭客追蹤研究的 TeamT5 杜浦數位安全，藉由藝術博物館（MOMA）作品介紹的形式，讓參觀者能夠感到興趣，並簡單認識這些 APT 族群的特性。

在資安新聞或報告中，可能常常看到某些攻擊事件是由特定駭客組織所為，然而，對於這些駭客組織本身的了解，可能多半不夠深刻，是否有更平易近人的方式，增進大眾對一些駭客組織的認識呢？

事實上，網路攻擊日益複雜，這些有組織的駭客團體，花了很多心力瞭解可能是攻擊目標的你我，但是，相對地，整個公眾對這些駭客組織有概括性的了解嗎？長期進行駭客追蹤研究的 TeamT5 杜浦數位安全，在本月舉行的 2021 臺灣資安大會展區上，特別用上類似藝術展覽的形式，讓參觀的人能從不一樣的視角，認識幾個不可不知的APT攻擊團體，掌握其特性。

在這樣的展區中，TeamT5 打造出有如現代藝術博物館（MOMA）的布置場景，擺放著4件作品，將原本抽象的攻擊族群，具現為某種裝置藝術品來展示，同時，一旁的牆面上，也有著對於 APT 族群一詞的中英文介紹，說明每個 APT 族群都有自己的地域性與慣用的攻擊手法，以及經常鎖定的國家與產業。

在現場擺設的這些創作中，連結的 APT 攻擊族群共有 4 個，包括：Lazarus、HUAPI、AMOEBA 與 Nian。目的就是希望將這些壞人（駭客組織）的特徵實體化，讓企業用戶能夠知道，他們到底是面對什麼樣的敵人，這些壞人有什麼樣的特徵或能力。

TeamT5, a Taiwanese cyber threat investigation company, shared the results of a recent study on the North Korean Kimsuky group at the "Black Hat Asia Conference" held in Singapore last week. The Kimsuky group is already widely known and is a group that the US CISA has jointly specified with related organizations such as the FBI, and TeamT5's research is the industry's first presentation on Kimsuky this year.

TeamT5 revealed that the Kimsuky group was separated from a single group and divided into two groups, and it seems that each is operated separately for different targets. TeamT5 named them "CloudDragon" and "KimDragon" respectively, and introduced the target countries and hacking tools.

TeamT5 announced for the first time that the Kimsuky group is focusing on supply chain attacks. The target is cryptocurrency, and the digital wallet of the exchange and its owner. To this end, the Kimsuky group uses a wide range of operating system combinations of PC, Android, and iOS. Currently, portal companies are concentrating on cross-authentication of PC and mobile at the same time for user authentication, so that the same malicious code can be operated in different environments.

TeamT5 researchers schematically presented evidence of the involvement of Kimsuky's group in the domestic cryptocurrency hacking case last October. According to this, it is known that the stolen cryptocurrency was transferred to a Dutch IP address and used for laundry. Even hardware wallets known to be secure appear to have been hacked.

In addition, they also announced that they are mainly targeting fake login-inducing accounts on portal sites such as Daum, Naver, and Google. Users can receive new user credentials update emails through bait files and hacked websites. Even Microsoft Windows update notifications were used in preliminary attacks. University login websites such as University Y, University E, and University D located in Seoul were used for hacking.

It was found that the Kimsuky group shifted its focus to not only PC but also mobile environment attacks. Their so-called "hidden" agents create SMS messages without the knowledge of cell phone victims, send written texts, and upload files. It means that you can do anything with a controlled phone, regardless of the user's will, such as taking audio or video. If cryptocurrency is stored on a mobile phone or log in through a mobile phone, it can be too easily exposed to hacking.

S&C CEO Han Eun-hye, who is servicing the intelligence information of TeamT5 in Korea, said, "It is time to detect their movements in advance based on a database that has been tracking the activities of individual hacker groups for a long time to deal with cybersecurity." It is necessary to respond to cyber attacks in the future by acquiring intelligence information specific to Asia from among the intelligence information.”
