"I SPy" Entra ID Global Admin Escalation Technique
Datadog's Security Labs identified an abuse of Office 365 Exchange Online service principal (SP) allowing escalation to Global Admin. MSRC considers it "expected misconfiguration" so don't expect a fix.
Alert on new credentials added to SPs.
Monitor changes to federated domains (federationConfiguration).
Hunt unusual Graph API calls to /domains, /credentials, and /federationConfiguration.

Researchers from the FortiCNAPP team, part of FortiGuard Labs identified a new variant of the #Lcryx ransomware called #Lcrypt0rx. The report states that it "is a relatively new VBScript-based ransomware strain first observed in November 2024" and "exhibits several unusual characteristics that suggest it may have been generated using AI." According to the researchers, it currently only targets Windows machines.
Indicators that led the researchers to believe it is AI generated include:
- Function Duplication
- Incorrect Persistence Mechanisms
- Nonexistent Target Paths
- Invalid Ransom Note URL
- Ineffective AV Disabling
These are just a few indicators and the article provides more details about each indicator, but I am not going to spoil the fun! Go and check it out for yourself! Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

Good day everyone!
Cisco Talos researchers report on a malware-as-a-service (MaaS) operation that was targeting Ukrainian entities and involved the #Amadey trojan, known for "collecting system information and downloading secondary payloads" and the #Emmenhtal downloader.
Behaviors that are observed in this attack include a BUNCH of powershell activity with obfuscation and dropping a legitimate copy of PuTTY.exe. Looking at the technical details, they also us some URLs that may look legitimate to their targets in Ukraine as they add the value "ukraine2" in the URL. Finally, the attack involved multiple variants of the Emmenhtal downloader that were masquerading as MP4 files.
As usual, I glossed over many of the technical details so you can go enjoy the article without me spoiling it! Thanks to the researchers and authors and Happy Hunting!

News broke that #SaltTyphoon gained access to the U.S. National Guard's network "and, among other things, collected its network configuration and its data traffic with its counterparts’ networks in every other US state and at least four US territories, according to a DOD report. This data also included these networks’ administrator credentials and network diagrams—which could be used to facilitate follow-on Salt Typhoon hacks of these units."
I am posting this as situational awareness and I never try to strike fear in the community, so I want to remind everyone of the great resources that exist out there when you want to threat hunt or you are trying to detect activity related to different #APT groups or malware! Check out the article posted below and check the comments for resources I would recommend using to supplement your threat hunting or blue team efforts! Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

A critical vulnerability in old Telerik software gave an attacker remote code execution on an SFTP-only Windows server. That meant they didn’t need credentials, antivirus didn’t trigger, and default log sizes meant almost nothing useful was captured.
From there? PowerShell exclusions, admin account created, RDP tunnelled in via Ngrok, ransomware deployed.
They even opened Pornhub either to cover traffic or celebrate the moment. Who knows?
This attack wasn’t subtle. But it worked because basic controls were missing.
We’ve broken down the incident. Plus, recommendations you can act on now to prevent the same thing.

Morphisec released an insightful report covering Iranian Cyber Warfare that is targeting the West and other enemies of Iran. The APT involved is #Pay2Key, "an Iranian-backed ransomware-as-as-service (RaaS) operation" that is linked to the Fox Kitten APT group and "closely tied to the well-known #Mimic ransomware."
Normally I call out behaviors and TTPs related but for this report I want to call out the completeness of the report. Not only does it provide more than enough technical details to make actionable in any environment but it also provides a TON of threat intel to support their claims giving the readers and audience an idea if they would be a target or not. It is a great report and I encourage you all to read it! Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

Knowing the most common indicators of compromise (IoCs) can improve your key threat detection and response (TDIR) metrics. 
And, if you are keeping an eye out for common IOCs, then you're able to take a more proactive approach to #security. So, let's dig in and learn all about IOCs! 
IoCs fall into the following categories:
Network-based Host-based Email-based Behavioral Third-party
In this blog we outline 17 common indicators of compromise, including:
Network traffic anomalies
Unusual sign-in attempts
Geographical anomalies
Privilege account irregularities
Changes to systems configurations
Unexpected software installations or updates
Numerous requests for the same file
Unusual Domain Name Systems (DNS) requests
Swells in database read volume
HTML response sizes
Mismatched port-application traffic
Suspicious registry or system file changes
Influx of spam emails
Moved or aggregated data
Non-human website traffic
Changes to mobile devices
System outages or reduced performance
Read on and learn about the details for each of these 17 common IoCs—so that you can be ready to search your environment for clues that will help you confirm security incidents and/or data breaches.

Elastic Security Labs researchers found a bunch of infostealers being spread by adversaries. In the past we have seen other tools like Brute Ratel and CobaltStrike but this time they decided to use a cracked version of #SHELLTER, another offensive security tool (OST). There are TONS of technical details about the tools they used during the investigation into the tool and what artifacts they found. Interestingly they are also releasing a "dynamic unpacker for binaries protected by SHELLTER. This tool leverages a combination of dynamic and static analysis techniques to automatically extract multiple payload stages from a SHELLTER-protected binary." Thought that was a pretty cool add!
Take a read and get all the important details! Enjoy and Happy Hunting!

I encourage you to read the latest report from The DFIR Report where they document an attack that started with a "password spray attack against an exposed RDP server" and ended in the #RansomHub ransomware strain being deployed in the victim's environment and spread over SMB.
I am going to forgo the brief summary because I truly believe these reports need to be read by you! But a bunch of LOLBINs were leveraged, including PowerShell and Windows Command Shell, of course RDP connections, MimiKatz, the Advanced IP Scanner, and many more! One behavior I will point out is that Persistence was gained by the actors deploying the legitimate RMM tools AteraAgent and Splashtop and then created services to run them!
This is another great example of an extremely thorough report and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Enjoy and Happy Hunting!
