The Black Basta ransomware group is reportedly leveraging Microsoft Teams in its attacks, using chat messages and QR codes to deceive users into granting access. These tactics involve impersonation of support staff through external accounts, directing users to malicious infrastructure, and laterally moving within networks using tools like Cobalt Strike. Recommended defenses include blocking malicious domains, restricting external Teams communications, and enhancing phishing awareness.

A New Perspective in Cyber Threat Intelligence
About us
Cyber Threat Intelligence Center, LLC approaches cyber threat intelligence from a new perspective, not focusing on working directly with businesses, but instead, focusing on working directly with individuals. We are most excited to be presenting our D|ICE (Deepfake Identification, Control and Enforcement) initiative wherein we help victims of deepfaked non-consensual pornography to remove said images/videos and bring the cyber perpetrators of these egregious cyber attacks to justice. Through CTIC, LLC’s CTI research, it is clear the biggest threat most companies, governments and individuals face is the human factor. That is to say, the lack of general interest and knowledge in even the basics of cybersecurity open individuals, companies and governments up to more cyber risk than all other factors combined. To combat this, the Cyber Threat Intelligence Center, LLC is on a mission to help individuals transition into cybersecurity careers or, at the very least, learn basic cybersecurity best practices for themselves, the company they work for and the nation they live in. This goal is met through multiple means. First, CTIC LLC’s “Breaking into Cyber” free training videos assist individuals looking to transition into cybersecurity careers from other industry sectors. These training videos are backed by best practices of current cyber recruiters, job placement directors and hiring managers. In addition, CTIC LLC’s “Cybersecurity Awareness Training Certification Course” gives a crash course in basic cybersecurity actionable steps every individual can take to improve their cybersecurity postures. Complete with multiple certification pathways, this training course is a great starting point as well for individuals looking to transition into cybersecurity. Check out these offerings today! (YouTube.com/@cticllc) And remember cybersecurity is an EVERYONE issue.

A newly disclosed vulnerability in SharePoint (CVE-2024-38904) highlights a significant security risk stemming from the deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502). Exploiting this flaw can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, putting organizations relying on SharePoint for collaboration and data management at serious risk. CISA has added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, emphasizing its potential threat, especially to the federal enterprise. Under Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, federal agencies must address vulnerabilities like this by specified deadlines to protect their networks from active threats. While BOD 22-01 targets Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies, CISA strongly encourages all organizations to prioritize the remediation of cataloged vulnerabilities.

The FBI, NSA, CNMF, and UK's NCSC have issued a cybersecurity advisory detailing Russian SVR cyber operations, targeting defense, technology, and finance sectors globally. Known for exploiting vulnerabilities and using techniques like spearphishing and password spraying, the SVR has focused on gaining access and escalating privileges, often through supply chain abuse and custom malware. Organizations are urged to prioritize rapid patching, implement multi-factor authentication, and perform continuous threat monitoring to defend against these sophisticated cyber threats.
