∗∗∗ TTP Table for Detecting APT Activity Related to SolarWinds and Active Directory/M365 Compromise ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
CISA has released a table of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by the advanced persistent threat (APT) actor involved with the recent SolarWinds and Active Directory/M365 compromise. The table uses the MITRE ATT&CK framework to identify APT TTPs and includes detection recommendations. This information will assist network defenders in detecting and responding to this activity.

∗∗∗ Server Side Data Exfiltration via Telegram API ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
One of the themes commonly highlighted on this blog includes the many creative methods and techniques attackers employ to steal data from compromised websites. Credit card skimmers, credential and password hijackers, SQL injections, and even malware on the server level can be used for data exfiltration. What’s more, attackers may be able to accomplish this feat with a few mere lines of code.

∗∗∗ Simple Python Keylogger ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
A keylogger is one of the core features implemented by many malware to exfiltrate interesting data and learn about the victim. Besides the fact that interesting keystrokes can reveal sensitive information (usernames, passwords, IP addresses, hostnames, ...), just by having a look at the text typed on the keyboard, the attacker can profile his target and estimate if its a juicy one or not.
