A month-long phishing campaign by the Russia-aligned threat actor group FlyingYeti used a WinRAR vulnerability to deliver the Cookbox malware to Ukrainian citizens. The attack aimed to exploit financial distress following the lifting of a government moratorium on evictions and utility disconnections. Cloudforce One recommended security measures to mitigate potential phishing threats.
Based on the meeting notes, the key takeaways are:
– A month-long phishing campaign by the Russia-aligned threat group FlyingYeti used a WinRAR vulnerability to deliver the Cookbox malware to Ukrainian citizens.
– The attackers used debt-themed lures to trick victims into opening malicious files, infecting victims’ systems with the Cookbox malware.
– Cloudforce One and other security teams took various measures to disrupt the attack and advised several security steps to mitigate potential phishing threats, including implementing zero-trust architecture, ensuring the latest security updates are installed, implementing additional email security measures, and running an endpoint detection and response (EDR) tool.
