Overview<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On June 8, 2012, Internet Identity\u2014now part of Infoblox\u2014was contacted by a client whose employees had downloaded what appeared to be an Internet Explorer zero-day compromise, putting network systems and resources at risk of being compromised by malware. Having a limited view, and not having seen this specific malicious activity on its network before, the team at this large organization wanted more details about the malware, how severe the threat was, and how they could remediate potential risks.<\/p>\n

Problem<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The malware had been introduced through two attack vectors: spear-phishing that targeted employees and malicious files hosted within directories at news websites that employees would likely visit. This \u201cwater holing\u201d technique focuses an attack on an organization through indirect means\u2014using Internet locations within the organization\u2019s online ecosystem that employees are likely to visit by habit or association. \"Elderwood<\/i><\/p>\n

Further analysis determined that the malicious actors behind\u2028this attack used a source code element called \u201cElderwood.\u201d As \u2028reported in September, 2012, by Symantec (The Elderwood\u2028Project), this group of cyber criminals has very sophisticated\u2028 methods of operation and has been targeting several industries\u2028for years. Utilizing exploits of widely used software that\u2028circumvent all conventional anti-virus detection methods, these dangerous attacks are a growing trend and can have a devastating impact on an organization\u2019s Internet integrity. The resulting exfiltration of proprietary data and communications can jeopardize an organization\u2019s assets, and the total cost of recovery and repair can reach into the millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Within two hours, Infoblox supplied members of the community with a series of high priority action alerts containing confirmed threat indicators.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Solution<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The organization under attack knew they did not possess the necessary knowledge to detect, diagnose, and mitigate this threat across their network. So they turned to their trusted\u2028peer community, using Infoblox ActiveTrust products to gain comprehensive and actionable intelligence as quickly as possible. By tapping this collective pool of information, Infoblox\u2019s Threat Intelligence team immediately determined that the threat was severe\u2014classified by the client\u2019s staff as APT and executing remote shellcode with keystroke loggers on workstations w\"Elderwoodith privileged access to sensitive data.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Infoblox requested that trusted peer community\u2028 members report related activity or malicious indicators that their \u2028internal teams might have seen through research and operations\u2028activities. While functioning as the central threat intelligence coordination point for this community, Infoblox threat analysts kept digging\u00a0in the hours that followed. They discovered related MD5s, IP addresses, malicious host names, and other tangible threat elements, and reported that information to the community in clear, easily processed formats.<\/p>\n

This prevented duplication of research efforts within the community and allowed security operations professionals to quickly focus on mitigating related threats seen on their networks. For those who did not yet see related activity or impact, the early-warning advantage of collective threat intelligence enabled proactive prevention of losses associated with this widespread and growing attack.<\/p>\n

Having coordinated efforts within the community and gathered all available intelligence within one business day, Infoblox issued a comprehensive report on the attack that confirmed Elderwood was targeting many large organizations. This report went out to the customer community, enabling preventive action.<\/p>\n

Through a collective effort that produced timely and actionable intelligence, dozens of large organizations were able to prevent employees and systems from connecting with malicious Internet locations. The clients with networks that were already infected could recognize these hits within the flow of their normal operations and immediately clean infected machines and quickly work to identify breaches. This effort was made possible through the shared trust and participation of all the organizations in the community.<\/p>\n

ActiveTrust<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Infoblox\u00a0ActiveTrust<\/a><\/u><\/span>\u00a0leverages collective intelligence from its network of security experts, including those at the world\u2019s largest banks and government organizations.<\/p>\n

**Image 1**<\/strong>\u00a0Water holing targets financial services, government agencies, and the defense industry, and has been seen used in the Aurora, Ghostnet, and VOHO attacks.\u00a0Sites likely to be visited\u2028by members of target organizations are used to introduce malware, usually a variant of zero-day Gh0st RAT.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

**Image 2**<\/strong>\u00a0Sharing information among a user community and getting collective intelligence on attack vectors and methods keeps victims from having to ask, \u201cIs it just us, or is someone else getting hit by this attack?\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
