∗∗∗ New SharePoint flaws help hackers evade detection when stealing files ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Researchers have discovered two techniques that could enable attackers to bypass audit logs or generate less severe entries when downloading files from SharePoint. [..] Varonis disclosed these bugs in November 2023, and Microsoft added the flaws to a patch backlog for future fixing. However, the issues were rated as moderate severity, so they won't receive immediate fixes. Therefore, SharePoint admins should be aware of these risks and learn to identify and mitigate them until patches become available.

∗∗∗ The Illusion of Privacy: Geolocation Risks in Modern Dating Apps ∗∗∗

Key takeaways Introduction Dating apps traditionally utilize location data, offering the opportunity to connect with people nearby, and enhancing the chances of real-life meetings. Some apps can also display the distance of the user to other users. This feature is quite useful for coordinating meetups, indicating whether a potential match is just a short distance away or a kilometer apart. However, openly sharing your distance with other users can create serious security issues. The risks become apparent when you consider the potential misuse by a curious individual armed with advanced knowledge of techniques like trilateration.

∗∗∗ The Mystery of ‘Jia Tan,’ the XZ Backdoor Mastermind ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
As scrutiny around Jia Tan has mounted since the revelation of the XZ Utils backdoor last Friday, researchers have noted that the persona has remarkably good operational security. [..] The Jia Tan persona has vanished since the backdoor was discovered [..] In fact, the only real footprints Jia Tan appears to have left behind were their contributions to the open source development community, where they were a prolific contributor: Disturbingly, Jia Tan’s first code change was to the “libarchive” compression library, another very widely used open source component. [..] In total, Jia Tan made 6,000 code changes to at least seven projects between 2021 and February 2024 [..] Security researchers agree, at least, that it’s unlikely that Jia Tan is a real person, or even one person working alone. Instead, it seems clear that the persona was the online embodiment of a new tactic from a new, well-organized organization—a tactic that nearly worked.

My answer was negative on both questions, and I think it might be useful if I explain my rationale here.

In late February 2023, threat actors rode a wave of initial access using Microsoft OneNote files. In this case, we observed a threat actor deliver IcedID using this method. After loading IcedID and establishing persistence, there were no further actions, other than beaconing for over 30 days. The threat actor used Cobalt Strike and AnyDesk to target a file server and a backup server. The threat actor used FileZilla to exfiltrate data from the network before deploying Nokoyawa ransomware.

The Black Lotus Labs team at Lumen Technologies has identified a multi-year campaign targeting end-of-life (EoL) small home/small office (SOHO) routers and IoT devices, associated with an updated version of “TheMoon” malware. [..] While Lumen has previously documented this malware family, our latest tracking has shown TheMoon appears to enable Faceless’ growth at of a rate of nearly 7,000 new users per week. Through Lumen’s global network visibility, Black Lotus Labs has identified the logical map of the Faceless proxy service, including a campaign that began in the first week of March 2024 that targeted over 6,000 ASUS routers in less than 72 hours.

∗∗∗ Recent ‘MFA Bombing’ Attacks Targeting Apple Users ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Several Apple customers recently reported being targeted in elaborate phishing attacks that involve what appears to be a bug in Apples password reset feature. In this scenario, a targets Apple devices are forced to display dozens of system-level prompts that prevent the devices from being used until the recipient responds "Allow" or "Dont Allow" to each prompt. [..] But the attackers in this campaign had an ace up their sleeves: Patel said after denying all of the password reset prompts from Apple, he received a call on his iPhone that said it was from Apple Support (the number displayed was 1-800-275-2273, Apple’s real customer support line).
