One such tool exploits Zerologon, the name given to a Windows server vulnerability, patched in August, that can give attackers <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2020\/09\/new-windows-exploit-lets-you-instantly-become-admin-have-you-patched\/\">instant administrator privileges on vulnerable systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Symantec uses the code name Cicada for the group, which is widely believed to be funded by the Chinese government and also carries the monikers of APT10, Stone Panda, and Cloud Hopper from other research organizations. The group, which has no relation to or affiliation with any company using the name Cicada, has been active in espionage-style hacking since at least 2009 and almost exclusively targets companies linked to Japan. While the companies targeted in the recent campaign are located in the United States and other countries, all of them have links to Japan or Japanese companies.<\/p>\n<h2>On the lookout<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cJapan-linked organizations need to be on alert as it is clear they are a key target of this sophisticated and well-resourced group, with the automotive industry seemingly a key target in this attack campaign,\u201d researchers from security firm Symantec wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/symantec-enterprise-blogs.security.com\/blogs\/threat-intelligence\/cicada-apt10-japan-espionage\">report<\/a>. \u201cHowever, with the wide range of industries targeted by these attacks, Japanese organizations in all sectors need to be aware that they are at risk of this kind of activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The attacks make extensive use of DLL side-loading, a technique that occurs when attackers replace a legitimate Windows dynamic-link library file with a malicious one. Attackers use DLL side-loading to inject malware into legitimate processes so they can keep the hack from being detected by security software.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign also makes use of a tool that\u2019s capable of exploiting Zerologon. Exploits work by sending a string of zeros in a series of messages that use the Netlogon protocol, which Windows servers use to let users log in to networks. People with no authentication can use Zerologon to access an organization\u2019s crown jewels\u2014the Active Directory domain controllers that act as an all-powerful gatekeeper for all machines connected to a network.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft patched the critical privilege-escalation vulnerability in August, but since then attackers have been using it to <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2020\/10\/hackers-are-using-a-severe-windows-bug-to-backdoor-unpatched-servers\/\">compromise organizations that have yet to install the update<\/a>. Both the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2020\/10\/feds-say-active-exploits-of-critical-zerologon-bug-threaten-elections-orgs\/\">urged that systems be patched immediately<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad_wrapper\" aria-label=\"In Content advertisement\"> <span class=\"ad_notice\">Advertisement <\/span> <\/aside>\n<p>Among the machines compromised during attacks discovered by Symantec were domain controllers and file servers. Company researchers also uncovered evidence of files being exfiltrated from some of the compromised machines.<\/p>\n<h2>Multiple regions and industries<\/h2>\n<p>Targets come from a variety of industries, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automotive, with some manufacturers and organizations involved in supplying parts to the motor industry also targeted, indicating that this is a sector of strong interest to the attackers<\/li>\n<li>Clothing<\/li>\n<li>Conglomerates<\/li>\n<li>Electronics<\/li>\n<li>Engineering<\/li>\n<li>General Trading Companies<\/li>\n<li>Government<\/li>\n<li>Industrial Products<\/li>\n<li>Managed Service Providers<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturing<\/li>\n<li>Pharmaceutical<\/li>\n<li>Professional Services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below is a map of the physical location of the targets:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image shortcode-img center large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cicada-targets.png\" class=\"enlarge\" data-height=\"563\" data-width=\"1076\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cicada-targets-640x335.png\" width=\"640\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cicada-targets.png 2x\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Symantec linked the attacks to Cicada based on digital fingerprints found in the malware and attack code.

The link all the victims have to Japan also points towards Cicada, which has been known to target Japanese organizations in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
