Magnet Goblin, a financially motivated threat actor, rapidly exploits newly disclosed vulnerabilities to breach public-facing servers and edge devices. The group deploys malware, including a remote access trojan (RAT) called Nerbian and MiniNerbian, to execute arbitrary commands and steal credentials. Their campaigns are financially motivated and target areas previously left unprotected.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
– A threat actor group named Magnet Goblin is rapidly exploiting newly disclosed vulnerabilities to target public-facing servers and edge devices.
– The group has been active since at least January 2022 and uses unpatched Ivanti Connect Secure VPN, Magento, Qlik Sense, and possibly Apache ActiveMQ servers as initial infection vectors.
– After successful exploitation, the group deploys the Nerbian RAT and MiniNerbian, allowing for the execution of arbitrary commands and exfiltration of results to a command-and-control server.
– Magnet Goblin also utilizes tools such as the WARPWIRE JavaScript credential stealer, Ligolo tunneling software, and legitimate remote desktop offerings like AnyDesk and ScreenConnect.
– The group’s campaigns appear to be financially motivated and predominantly target edge-devices, reflecting an ongoing trend for threat actors to exploit previously unprotected areas.
