"North Korea's 'Citrine Sleet' APT Exploits Zero-Day Chromium Bug"

Last month, a North Korean intelligence threat actor exploited two novel vulnerabilities to steal from the cryptocurrency industry and fund the Kim Jong Un regime. Microsoft has revealed that an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) within Bureau 121 of North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau, tracked as "Citrine Sleet," chained together previously unknown flaws in Windows and Chromium browsers. They also used a rootkit to gain deep system access before stealing from targets. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the Citrine Sleet APT.

"Crypto Vulnerability Allows Cloning of YubiKey Security Keys"

YubiKey security keys can be cloned through a side-channel attack involving the exploitation of a vulnerability in a third-party cryptographic library. The attack called "Eucleak" was demonstrated by NinjaLab. Yubico, the company behind YubiKey, has released a security advisory in response to this discovery. YubiKey hardware authentication devices allow users to securely access their accounts using FIDO authentication. The Eucleak attack exploits a vulnerability in an Infineon cryptographic library used by YubiKey and other vendors' products.

"Red Teaming Tool Abused for Malware Deployment"

Threat actors are using MacroPack, a tool designed for red team exercises, to deploy malware. Cisco Talos researchers discovered several related Microsoft documents uploaded to VirusTotal between May and July 2024. All of them were created by a version of a payload generator framework, MacroPack. A variety of actors and countries, including China, Pakistan, Russia, and the US, uploaded the documents.

"White House Addresses BGP Vulnerabilities in New Internet Routing Security Roadmap"

The White House has released a roadmap to address Internet routing security issues, specifically Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) vulnerabilities. The BGP protocol is used in the exchange of routing information between Autonomous Systems (AS) on the Internet, but this critical component was not designed with security in mind. Potentially serious vulnerabilities have been discovered in the past years that can allow threat actors to redirect internet traffic. They can lead to disruptions to critical infrastructure, the theft of sensitive information, and more.
