Operation Falcon II: Group-IB assists INTERPOL, Nigerian Police Force in action to apprehend 11 cybercriminals💥💥💥
Earlier in the day, INTERPOL made public the results of a 10-day operation by the Nigerian Police Force as a result of which 11 alleged members of a prolific cybercrime network were arrested. Many of the suspects arrested are thought to be members of TMT BEC gang (aka Silver Terrier).
Group-IB’s APAC Cyber Investigations Team has contributed to the operation by sharing information on the threat actors, having identified the attackers’ infrastructure, collected their digital traces and assembled data on their identities. Group-IB has also expanded the investigation’s evidence base by reverse engineering the samples of malware used by the cybercriminals and conducting the digital forensics analysis of the files contained on the devices seized from the suspects. The operation was also supported by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42👏
The first edition of Operation Falcon, a joint action by INTERPOL, Group-IB and Nigeria Police Force, was held in November 2020 and resulted in the apprehension of three alleged members of the TMT gang.

New blog post 🔥 Shedding light on the dark web: Cybersecurity analyst's guide on how to use machine learning to show cybercriminals’ true colors 🔍
👉Data leaks appearing on the dark web are a problem that even world-renowned enterprise, financial and IT giants have faced. They can both disclose:
🔸 sensitive information about the company's internal processes;
🔸personal data of the company's customers, making them turn their back on a brand or company that used to be their favorite.
Both outcomes can bring the business at the verge of collapse.
In our new blog post, Group-IB Head of investigation department in APAC Vesta Matveeva and Group-IB Senior Data Scientist in APAC Iaroslav Polianskii show the methods cybersecurity analysts who come to the aid of compromised companies can use to, firstly, determine if an alleged data breach is real or fake, and, secondly, make conclusions about the sophistication of the threat actor responsible.
Our guide will be useful for:
🔸cybersecurity greeners who are doing their first steps in the cybersecurity world;
🔸cybersecurity analysts and corporate security team members;
🔸machine learning algorithm developers.

Cleaning the atmosphere: Weak points in modern-day corporate email security
In 26% of incidents investigated by Group-IB’s Digital Forensics Lab, company infrastructure was infected with ransomware through phishing links. According to Verizon, most malware is still delivered by email, with 46% of companies having been attacked almost exclusively via email in 2020, while social engineering was conducted via email 96% of the time. With so many companies and organizations having sped up adopting remote work practices recently, the situation is bound to worsen.
In a new blog post by Ilya Pomerantsev, a product analyst at Group-IB’s Network Security Department, we examine three real-life attacks attempted via corporate email, all of which were detected and stopped by Group-IB’s cloud email protection system Atmosphere.
We’ll take a look at how cybercriminals bypass:
🔹sender verification
🔹email security solutions by using an attachment in a non-standard file format
🔹a sandbox using an office document

#AssetZero #EASM
Meet Group-IB AssetZero!
We are proud to present our new product AssetZero, an intelligence-driven attack surface management (EASM) solution. Never before has AssetZero been in greater need.
🔻As digital footprints and the complexity of IT infrastructures continue to grow, maintaining a complete and up-to-date asset inventory is becoming relevant as never before. In 2021, over 50% of Group-IB’s DFIR cases stemmed from a preventable, perimeter-based security error.
🔻Unmanaged assets that create security risks include forgotten cloud instances running vulnerable software, open ports, misconfigured databases exposed to the open web, or web servers that were deployed without being added to official asset inventories. Such assets open doors for cybercriminals.
To help companies manage these critical but avoidable flaws, we created AssetZero. It is a fully cloud-based SaaS solution designed to discover, assess, and help manage your internet-facing assets in real time via all-in-one interface.
AssetZero leverages the full breadth and depth of Group-IB’s threat hunting and intelligence gathering ecosystem by:
✅continuously discovering all external-facing IT assets
✅identifying potential vulnerabilities
✅assessing risk using Group-IB Threat Intelligence & Attribution insights
✅prioritizing issues for remediation
✅enabling measurable improvements to security posture.
