Broad-Based Attacks

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph in response to the CISA Advisory (AA25-050A) published on February 19, 2025, which disseminates known Ghost Ransomware Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) identified through FBI investigations as recently as January 2025.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph emulating the behaviors exhibited by Hunters International ransomware since its discovery in October 2023. Technical analysis suggests a realistic possibility that Hunters International may have been deployed by actors linked to the disrupted Hive operation. However, while it bears significant similarities, Hunters International is not a direct rebrand.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph emulating the behaviors exhibited by Ako ransomware since its emergence in January 2020. Contrary to many ransomware strains that focus on individual workstations, Ako targets entire networks, maximizing its impact. It is considered a variant of MedusaLocker due to numerous shared traits, including its defensive behavior and its strategic isolation of specific machines for encryption.

In response to the recently published CISA Advisory (AA24-317A) that disseminates the top routinely exploited vulnerabilities from 2023, AttackIQ has proposed a multitude of recommendations that customers can take to emulate these prevalent vulnerabilities.

AttackIQ has released a new assessment template that addresses the numerous post-compromise Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) associated with the subscription-based information stealer known as Lumma Stealer.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph that emulates the behaviors exhibited by Medusa ransomware since the beginning of its activities in June 2021. Medusa is predominantly propagated through the exploitation of vulnerable services, such as public-facing assets or applications with known unpatched vulnerabilities, and the hijacking of legitimate accounts, often using Initial Access Brokers (IABs) for infiltration.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph that seeks to emulate the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) associated with Ebury Linux malware. Despite previous arrests and actions against key perpetrators, Ebury continues to evolve, and its operations remain active.

AttackIQ has released a new assessment template in response to the CISA Advisory (AA24-207A) published on August 29, 2024, that disseminates known RansomHub ransomware IOCs and TTPs that have been identified through FBI threat response activities and third-party reporting as recently as August 2024.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph that emulates the behaviors exhibited by Mallox ransomware since the beginning of its activities in June 2021. Mallox primarily gains access to victim networks through dictionary brute-force attacks against unsecured MS-SQL servers.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph that emulates the behaviors exhibited by Prestige ransomware since the beginning of its activities in October 2022. Prestige has been observed targeting organizations in the transportation and related logistics sectors located in Ukraine and Poland. In November 2022, it was assessed that the Russian adversary known as Sandworm was most likely behind these attacks.

AttackIQ has released a new attack graph that emulates the behaviors exhibited by the Cactus ransomware since the beginning of its activities in March 2023. Cactus has targeted a wide variety of organizations since its inception and has breached more than 140 entities as of July 2024.
