Hackers sponsored by China decide to create a security breach against the Indian government and businesses

Hackers sponsored by China intend to launch a cyber attack against the Indian government and businesses. Here is some information to keep you secure

ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A CYBER-ATTACK

State-sponsored cyber assaults on governmental and civilian electronic infrastructure are very plausible in the midst of the India-China disagreement and border clashеs. Healthcare and pharmaceutical, tеlecommunications, academics, logistics and transportation, emergency services, the energy industry, all forms of research organisations, and military networks are all covered

This suggestion was developed with the following factors in mind:

1. How would the Covid-19 outbreak benefit cybercriminals and APT (Advanced Persistent Threat) organisations?

2. How such cyber attacks might affect ordinary people as well as those who work for important organisations that manage sensitive data

3. Mitigation or averting such attacks

APT organisations typically target organisations and government institutions to capture large amounts of personal information, intellectual property, intelligence relevant to national interests, and critical research work. Common cyber criminals, on the other hand, are primarily interested in stealing victims' identities and obtaining their login credentials

Assaults and countermeasures that could be used:

Phishing:

Cybercriminals may send you emails that appear to be from healthcare or government organisations, with subject lines such as "Beware! Your next-door neighbour has Covid-19." "Inspect affected people in your city," "WHO suggestions," "The government has prepared a relief package for you," and so on. "The Coronavirus immunisation is now accessible!" "Donate to Covid-19 sufferers," and so on

These emails could be phishing attempts attempting to obtain confidential or sensitive information from you

Mitigation:

Check to determine if the domain(s) or URL(s) referenced in the email, as well as the sender's email address, are genuine (take help from reliable search engines to know about them)

Examine the content for grammatical and spelling errors. In general, scam emails are badly written

Emails can be forged on occasion, which implies that the sender address is changed to a real email address. A careless or novice cyber thief may leave the true REPLY-TO and/or RETURN-PATH in the message header, which may aid in detecting spoofing. Though the former method is useful in some circ*mstances, it is preferred to examine the complete email header information, including all routing information, and to examine the received (IP and domain) and received-SPF fields

Phishers utilise IDN homograph attacks as well. As a result, it is preferable to enable Punycode domain identification in your browser (leading browsers have it enabled by default nowadays)

ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A CYBER-ATTACK

For businesses:

Companies should be concerned about being targeted by APT groups. Password spraying is becoming more popular as a method of attack launch among APT organisations. As a result, for every digital instance, it is better to avoid using default passwords

APT organisations seek information on an organization's "Global Address List" (GAL) or on individuals of the organisation who have access to sensitive information that could be leaked by internal employees or other ways. Once they have obtained the contact information for the people of the target company, they undertake spear phishing attacks by sending emails (usually faked) with malware embedded in seemingly legitimate doc*ments. The doc*ment may contain JavaScript code, a Java applet, a flash file, or other code that can take advantage of any flaw in your browser, flash player, Java Virtual Machine, or even the email service itself

APT organisations concentrate on developing malware that avoids antivirus detection by bypassing other facilities or features in operating systems such as UAC, SBM, and others that allow the malware to function in the background without user recognition. It has the ability to spread over the network and affect other vulnerable devices. VPN flaws are another popular target for APT organisations

Mitigation:

Inform people about probable spear phishing efforts. Enable SMTP filters and build automatic scanning systems based on sandboxes

Even if you are a small organisation with limited infrastructure, open the emails or suspected files in a virtual machine (copy files from the host VM direction only) or on a system that is not connected to your company's main network. Take a system snapshot after installing new operating systems on the virtual machine. Make use of tools such as 'Regshot,' 'What Changed,' and others. After you've ran the files or viewed the emails, compare the changes in the system snapshot

Other key rules to remember are as follows:

1. Update institutional systems' VPNs, operating systems, critical day-to-day operational software, network infrastructure devices, and remote access systems

2. Employ browse-down architecture to prevent attackers from acquiring privileged access to the most sensitive data

3. Implement a security monitoring or logging capability to collect the data required to analyse or investigate network breaches or cyber assaults

4. Establish and analyse your incident management skills for spotting, addressing, and analysing security occurrences on a regular basis

5. Because DDOS attacks are widespread, create ahead of time an effective DDOS response strategy (also outsource your DDOS prevention to a cloud-based service)

If you have a website or a mobile app, you should do the following:

Examine your website or mobile app for flaws and security issues. Encourage white hat hackers or actual penetration testers to evaluate your website or mobile app for vulnerabilities and report them to the proper team. It is advised to have a dedicated bug hunting or bug reward programme that clearly defines the in-scope, out-of-scope, and responsible disclosure policies
