Rewterz Threat Update – LAPSUS$ Gang’s Latest Activity

April 4, 2022

Severity

Medium

Analysis Summary

LAPSUS$ data extortion is a new and emerging ransomware and extortion group that has successfully attacked major conglomerate. Like most ransomware groups, LAPSUS$ also infiltrates organizations with a phishing attack. From there on, they exploit vulnerabilities like privilege escalation to get hold of administrative rights and blatantly display their abilities. The City of London Police arrested seven teenagers suspected to be members of the data extortion gang. From those seven, two have been charged.

“Both teenagers have been charged with: three counts of unauthorised access to a computer with intent to impair the reliability of data; one count of fraud by false representation and one count of unauthorised access to a computer with intent to hinder access to data. The 16-year-old has also been charged with one count of causing a computer to perform a function to secure unauthorised access to a program.” – City of London Police

Impact

  • Financial Theft
  • Data Breach

Remediation

  • Logging – Log your eCommerce environment’s network activity and web server activity.
  • Passwords – Ensure that general security policies are employed including: implementing strong passwords, correct configurations, and proper administration security policies.
  • Admin Access – limit access to administrative accounts and portals to only relevant personnel and make sure they are not publicly accessible.
  • WAF – Web defacement must be stopped at the web application level. Therefore, set up a Web Application Firewall with rules to block suspicious and malicious requests.
  • Patch – Patch and upgrade any platforms and software timely and make it into a standard security policy. Prioritize patching known exploited vulnerabilities and zero-days.
  • Secure Coding – Along with network and system hardening, code hardening should be implemented within the organization so that their websites and software are secure. Use testing tools to detect any vulnerabilities in the deployed codes.
  • 2FA – Enable two-factor authentication.
  • Antivirus – Enable antivirus and anti-malware software and update signature definitions in a timely manner. Using a multi-layered protection is necessary to secure vulnerable assets.
