That is to say, the user was active off-site but someone within Wi-Fi range of the building was trying to wirelessly use that user&#8217;s MAC address, which is a red flag.

The Matrice drone was carrying a case that contained a Raspberry Pi, several batteries, a GPD mini laptop, a 4G modem, and another Wi-Fi device. It had landed near the building&#8217;s heating and ventilation system and appeared to be damaged but still operable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During their investigation, they determined that the DJI Phantom drone had originally been used a few days prior to intercept a worker&#8217;s credentials and Wi-Fi,&#8221; Linares said. &#8220;This data was later hard coded into the tools that were deployed with the Matrice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote\" readability=\"8\">\n<p>The attackers specifically targeted a limited access network, used by both a third-party and internally, that was not secure due to recent changes at the company<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Linares, the tools on the drones were used to target the company&#8217;s internal Confluence page in order to reach other internal devices using the credentials stored there. The attack, he said, had limited success and is the third cyberattack involving a drone he&#8217;s seen over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The attackers specifically targeted a limited access network, used by both a third-party and internally, that was not secure due to recent changes at the company (e.g. restructuring\/rebranding, new building, new building lease, new network setup or a combination of any of these scenarios),&#8221; Linares told <em>The Register<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the reason why this temporary network unfortunately had limited access in order to login (credentials + MAC security). The attackers were using the attack in order to access an internal IT confluence server that contained other credentials for accessing other resources and storing IT procedures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">Long-term problem comes to life<\/h3>\n<p>Linares said he had worked on a drone project in 2011 to test network attack capabilities and at the time, power, carry weight, and range were limiting factors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We revisited it again in 2015 and drone tech had come a long way,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now in 2022 we are seeing really amazing drone advancements in power, range, and capabilities (for instance, the amazing synchronized drone shows that China puts out are utterly fantastic).&#8221;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\"

reasonable to deploy,&#8221; said Linares. &#8220;Targets in fintech\/crypto and supply chain or critical third-party software suppliers would make ideal targets for these attacks where an attacker can easily cover their initial operating costs with immediate financial gain or access to more lucrative targets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the identity of the attacker has not been disclosed, Linares believes those responsible did their homework.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was definitely a threat actor who likely did internal reconnaissance for several weeks, had physical proximity to the target environment, had a proper budget and knew their physical security limitations,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sophos senior threat researcher Sean Gallagher told <em>The Register<\/em> said the attack described is something people have done &#8220;warwalking&#8221; with Wi-Fi Pineapples or the equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You bounce a user off the real network and try to get them to connect to your fake network,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Honestly, unless there&#8217;s a very specific bit of targeting going on, this is very low on the threat modeling priority list for most organizations, especially when there are so many other ways to get network access without having a physical presence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Still, it might be worth checking the roof for parked or hovering drones now and again. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
