The attack begins with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/what-is-phishing-how-to-protect-yourself-from-scam-emails-and-more\/\" rel=\"follow\">phishing email<\/a> containing an ISO file, which hides the Bumblebee loader and runs it on the victim&#8217;s machine if the attachment is opened. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>SEE:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/topic\/a-winning-strategy-for-cybersecurity\/\" rel=\"follow\"><strong>A winning strategy for cybersecurity<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;(ZDNet special report)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bumblebee provides the attackers with a backdoor onto the PC, enabling them to take control of operations and run commands. From here, the attackers run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/this-is-how-the-cobalt-strike-penetration-testing-tool-is-being-abused-by-cybercriminals\/\" rel=\"follow\">Cobalt Strike<\/a> on the system for further control and the ability to gather more information from the machine that can help to conduct the attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After this, Bumblebee drops the Quantum ransomware payload, encrypting files on the victim&#8217;s machine. Similar techniques were used in campaigns by Conti and Mountlocker ransomware groups \u2013 and researchers believe that Bumblebee has taken the place of previously used backdoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bumblebee may have been introduced as a replacement loader for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/trickbot-abuses-top-brands-including-bank-of-america-wells-fargo-in-attacks-against-customers\/\" rel=\"follow\">Trickbot<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/microsoft-warning-this-unusual-malware-attack-has-just-added-some-new-tricks\/\" rel=\"follow\">BazarLoader<\/a>, since there is some overlap between recent activity involving Bumblebee and older attacks linked to these loaders,&#8221; said Kamble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Phishing is a common theme running throughout ransomware campaigns. In the case detailed by researchers, the malware was delivered by a phishing email, but ransomware gangs also use phishing attacks to steal usernames and passwords, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/why-cloud-security-matters-and-why-you-cant-ignore-it\/\" rel=\"follow\">particularly of cloud-based applications and services<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Not only does this allow them to get hands-on within networks, but using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/microsoft-office-365-is-becoming-the-core-of-many-businesses-and-hackers-have-noticed\/\" rel=\"follow\">legitimate (if hacked) account<\/a> means that malicious activity might not be as easily detected \u2013 often until it&#8217;s too late and a ransomware attack has been triggered.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-attacks-are-the-biggest-global-cyber-threat-and-still-evolving-warns-cybersecurity-chief\/\" rel=\"follow\">ransomware is still a significant cybersecurity issue<\/a>, there are steps that can be taken to help prevent attacks. These include using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/two-factor-authentication-is-a-great-idea-but-not-enough-people-are-using-it\/\" rel=\"follow\">multi-factor authentication<\/a> across accounts to help prevent attackers gaining access to networks, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/this-one-change-could-protect-your-systems-from-attack-so-why-dont-more-companies-do-it\/\" rel=\"follow\">swiftly applying security patches<\/a> to stop cyber criminals exploiting known vulnerabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important for businesses to monitor their networks for potentially unusual activity, as this can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ransomware-even-when-the-attackers-are-in-your-network-its-not-too-late-to-fight-back\/\" rel=\"follow\">provide an indication that something is amiss<\/a> \u2013 and information security teams can take action to prevent a full-on ransomware attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any organisation that discovers a Bumblebee infection on its network should treat this incident with high priority since it could be the pathway to several dangerous ransomware threats,&#8221; said Kamble.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>MORE ON CYBERSECURITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>READ MORE
