  CryptoMiner, WinstarNssmMiner, Has Made a Fortune By Brutally Hijacking Computers
Posted by: mrtrout - 05-18-2018 , 05:26 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://blog.360totalsecurity.com/en/cry...-computer/      CryptoMiner, WinstarNssmMiner, Has Made a Fortune By Brutally Hijacking Computers
May 16, 2018360TS

Recently, 360 Security Center has found that a new CryptoMiner is spreading fast. The distributor has made tremendous profit via mining Monero on infected computers. According to our statistics, 360 Total Security has intercepted its attack over 500 thousands times in 3 days. Our analyst has named it “WinstarNssmMiner.” This malware is very hard to remove since victims’ computers crash as soon as they found and terminate the malware. Interestingly, this malware is acting snobbish when facing different antivirus software. It turns off antivirus protection of defenseless foes and backs off when facing sharp swords. As a result, users without a decent antivirus product have to live with the slowness and the blue screens of their computers.



Analysis
We’re quite surprised to see a CryptoMiner being so brutal to hijack victims’ computers by adopting techniques of stubborn malware:
1. Launch a system process, svchost.exe, and inject malicious code into it.
2. Set spawned process’ attribute to CriticalProcess.
3. Computers crash when their owners terminate the malware.

After getting into victims’ computers, this malware attempts to locate any decent antivirus software, Such as Kaspersky, Avast. If any found, this malware will quit automatically to avoid direct confrontation.


Figure 1: How this malware avoid antivirus software.

Then, this malware injecting the code to svchost.exe it created. There are actually two svchost.exe processes created. One performs the mining tasks. The other runs in the background for sensing the antivirus protection and avoiding detection.


Figure 2: It creates two processes

Though WinstarNssmMiner has the ability to deceive antivirus software. It’s in its nature still a CryptorMiner and its implementation is based on the open source project, XMRIG. It comes with four ming pool and  is able to determine mining pool based on the parameters passed to it.


Figure 3: Addresses of mining pools

At the time we published this analysis, this CryptoMiner has already acquired 133 Monero which is approximately equivalent to 28 thousands US dollars.



Figure 4: The profit earned

Due to the nature of digital currency mining, CryptoMiners use up victims’ processing power for the sake of their distributors. Some savvy users are able to identify and terminate the CPU consuming applications. Hence, WinstarNssmMiner protects itself by configuring its ming process’s attribute to CriticalProcess so infected computers crash when users terminate it.

Reminder
Recently, we have found that a lot of CryptoMiner malware are actively spreading in the wild. We strongly recommend users to enable antivirus software while installing new applications. Users are also recommended to run virus scan with 360 Total Security to avoid falling victim to CryptoMiner.

  Hackers Combine Microsoft, Adobe Flaws in Devastating Windows Exploit
Posted by: mrtrout - 05-16-2018 , 09:52 PM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://news.softpedia.com/news/hackers-...1149.shtml        Hackers Combine Microsoft, Adobe Flaws in Devastating Windows Exploit
Vulnerabilities already fixed by both companies this month
May 16, 2018 09:54 GMT  ·  By Bogdan Popa ·  Share:      
Two different vulnerabilities in Microsoft and Adobe software were used by hackers in a combined exploit targeting Windows systems before eventually being addressed by both companies in their patching cycles earlier this month.

Security vendor ESET says in an in-depth analysis that it discovered a malicious PDF on a public mirror that was supposed to be used for launching attacks against Windows hosts. The document included JavaScript code and a crafted JPEG2000 image to take advantage of vulnerability CVE-2018-4990 in Adobe Reader.

Successfully exploiting the remote-code execution flaw in this application would have provided attackers with rights ro read and write in memory.

In order to break the sandbox, hackers would have then turned to a second vulnerability documented as CVE-2018-8120 and representing a privilege escalation bug in Windows.

Fancy Bear-inspired approach
This time, the security issue affects the Win32k component, which can be hijacked to run arbitrary code on the compromised system, which technically means that hackers would have obtained full control over the target computer.

“The use of the combined vulnerabilities is extremely powerful, as it allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the highest possible privileges on the vulnerable target, and with only the most minimal of user interaction,” ESET security researcher Anton Cherepanov, who also discovered the vulnerabilities and reported them to parent companies, explained in the analysis.

There’s evidence, however, that the exploit was still under development when it was detected, as the PDF sample did not contain a final payload.

On the other hand, Cherepanov notes that combining exploits is a very advanced technique that hackers like the Russian group Fancy Bear is believed to be using. However, there’s no proof that Russian hackers have been involved in these attacks.

Microsoft and Adobe have already released patches for the two vulnerabilities combined in this exploit, so users are recommended to install them as soon as possible.

  360 Total Security saves its users from crypto-mining malware
Posted by: mrtrout - 05-14-2018 , 03:59 AM - Forum: Security News - No Replies

https://ambcrypto.com/360-total-security...g-malware/       NEWS 360 Total Security saves its users from crypto-mining malware Rajath Kumar Published 20 hours ago on May 13, 2018 By Rajath Kumar   

360 Total Security Center released a blog post stating that they had received some information about a malware infection which will use the victim’s computer to mine cryptocurrency.

360 Security is an internet company that provides antivirus to users to protect their computers from a virus or any type of malware. It is popular and is used in most of the computers around the world.

The malware enters the victim’s computer after installing the application One System Care. The malware then infects the computer with a cryptocurrency miner in which DNS settings will be altered and ads will be displayed. It will also have constant updates by creating a PowerShell script which will hide the malware from the systems scheduled tasks. The miner will then proceed to mine cryptocurrency.

How the PowerShell script is created and schedules tasks

The malware would run a scheduled time and would be used to mine cryptocurrency. Even if the victim deletes the malware, it would recreate itself as long as the PowerShell script would remain in the computer.

The Malware would work in such a way that it would disguise itself with a legit software and use PowerShell to avoid antivirus detection. It would also encrypt its own command and control protocol to avoid interception of the firewall.

The malware affected over a million computers and 360 total security received various complaints from customers. The company took care of the problem and saved all the computers. They also reminded customers to enable/update the new antivirus software to protect themselves from future viruses like these.

Marvell, a Twitter user says:

“My computer was infected with this malware but thanks to 360 it is safe. They responded quickly and solved the problem as soon as possible.”

Jade, another Twitter user says:

“People need to be really aware on what they install if they install applications without knowing if they are legit or not they will fall into these traps which will end up costing them a lot of money.”
