Within a day of the seizure, Trickbot command-and-control servers and domains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/trickbot-botnet-survives-takedown-attempt-but-microsoft-sets-new-legal-precedent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">were replaced with new infrastructure<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>CISA flagged Anchor_DNS, a backdoor created by the eastern European hackers behind the multifunctional Trickbot malware.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Trickbot emerged in 2016 as a banking trojan but evolved into a multi-purpose malware downloader that infected systems that were sold on to other criminal groups as a service. It was originally known as banking malware but has since been used to distribute malware that steals credentials, email, point-of-sale data, and spread file-encrypting ransomware such as Ryuk. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Trickbot infected more than a million computers, according to Microsoft and its partners at Symantec, ESET, FS-ISAC, and Lumen. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The US agencies warned the healthcare sector about Trickbot on Wednesday following a tip-off received by security firm Hold Security, <a href=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/2020\/10\/fbi-dhs-hhs-warn-of-imminent-credible-ransomware-threat-against-u-s-hospitals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">according to krebsonsecurity.com<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>The company&#8217;s CEO Alex Holden said he saw the Ryuk ransomware group \u2013 a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/conti-ryuk-joins-the-ranks-of-ransomware-gangs-operating-data-leak-sites\/\">ruthless gang known for leaking the data of targets before encrypting their files<\/a> \u2013 discussing plans to deploy the ransomware at over 400 US healthcare facilities. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As part of the new Anchor toolset, Trickbot developers created Anchor_DNS, a tool for sending and receiving data from victim machines using Domain Name System (DNS) tunneling,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/us-cert.cisa.gov\/ncas\/alerts\/aa20-302a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">CISA said in the alert<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>DNS tunneling exploits the system that maps human-readable website names like google.com to the numeric internet protocol (IP) system that guides browsers to websites.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The Anchor_DNS backdoor forces infected PCs to communicate with command-and-control servers over DNS to bypass network defense products and hide malicious communications with legitimate DNS traffic.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anchor_DNS uses a single-byte XOR cipher to encrypt its communications, which have been observed using key 0xB9. Once decrypted, the string Anchor_DNS can be found in the DNS request traffic,&#8221; CISA notes.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Security firm Mandiant <a href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/aaronst\/6aa7f61246f53a8dd4befea86e832456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">today released a set of indicators of compromise<\/a> that suggest an infection by Ryuk ransomware.

Emotet often downloads secondary malware onto infected machines to achieve this, most frequently Trickbot,&#8221; <a
