Hackers are deploying various attack trends targeting users

Specifically, Kaspersky has discovered a new threat actor belonging to the Elephant group, operating in the Asia- Pacific region, called Mysterious Elephant. In the latest campaign, the group has used new backdoors, capable of executing files and commands on the victim's computer, and receiving files or commands from a malicious server to execute on the infected system.

Additionally, the ScarCruft APT group has developed new infection methods that evade Mark-of-the-Web (MOTW) security mechanisms. The constantly evolving tactics of these threat actors pose new challenges for cybersecurity experts.

APT campaigns remain geographically dispersed, with threat actors focusing their attacks on regions such as Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and various parts of Asia. Cyber espionage, with its geopolitical context, continues to be a driving factor in these activities.

“While some threat actors use familiar tactics such as social engineering, others have evolved, refreshed their toolkits, and expanded their operations. Furthermore, new actors, such as those behind Operation Triangulation, are constantly emerging. Staying up-to-date with threat intelligence and the right defense tools is crucial for global companies to protect themselves against existing and emerging threats. Our quarterly assessments are designed to highlight the most important developments among APT groups to help them protect themselves and mitigate the risks involved,” commented David Emm, principal security researcher at Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT).

To avoid becoming a victim of a targeted attack, Kaspersky researchers offer the following recommendations.

- To ensure system security, keep your operating system and other third-party software up to date. Maintaining a regular update schedule is essential to stay protected from potential vulnerabilities and security risks.

- Upskill your cybersecurity team on how to tackle the latest targeted threats with Kaspersky's online training program developed by GReAT experts.

- To detect, investigate, and promptly remediate incidents at the endpoint level, deploy EDR solutions such as Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response.

- Dedicated services can help combat advanced attacks. Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response services can help identify and block intrusions in the early stages, before the perpetrators achieve their goals.
