That goes doubly for members of the Armed Forces, who&#8217;ve recently been getting mystery smartwatches in the mail, the US Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) said this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These smartwatches, when used, have auto-connected to Wi-Fi and begun connecting to cell phones unprompted, gaining access to a myriad of user data,&#8221; the CID <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cid.army.mil\/Media\/Press-Center\/Article-Display\/Article\/3429159\/cid-lookout-unsolicited-smartwatches-received-by-mail\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">warned<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say the watches &#8220;may&#8221; contain malware, but it&#8217;s hard to see the point of the scheme otherwise \u2013 especially if the end result is a compromised device belonging to someone with a security clearance. The CID said the mystery watches could also be part of a &#8220;brushing&#8221; scam in which sellers send goods \u2013 often cheap junk \u2013 to random people in order to fake positive reviews on ecommerce sites.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless \u2013 soldier, sailor, airman, marine or civilian \u2013 don&#8217;t turn it on. If you are in the military, the CID urges you to report the devices to your local counterintelligence or security manager.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">Tsunami of malware hits Linux SSH servers<\/h3>\n<p>Miscreants are conducting a campaign to infest poorly managed SSH servers with a variety of malware, according to researchers at the AhnLab Security Emergency response Center (ASEC).<\/p>\n<p>Cybercriminals attack SSH because the protocol allows secure login to remote machines \u2013 an obviously useful facility for crooks. According to ASEC&#8217;s researchers, the tool is often poorly managed and therefore attracts attacks. In March 2023 ASEC spotted <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/asec.ahnlab.com\/en\/50316\/\">attacks on SSH by threat group ChinaZ<\/a> that installed various DDoS bots. In 2022, Fortinet <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fortinet.com\/blog\/threat-research\/rapperbot-malware-discovery\" rel=\"noopener\">detailed<\/a> another attack on Linux SSH servers, on that occasion with malware called &#8220;RapperBot&#8221; that brute-forced its way into IoT devices.<\/p>\n<p>The current campaign detected by ASEC saw crooks install Tsunami \u2013 also known as Kaiten \u2013 malware that allows full remote control of an infected computer. This campaign also sometimes involves installation of ShellBot \u2013 a DDoS botnet developed using the Perl programming language \u2013 the XMRig Monero coin miner, and privilege escalation malware in the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) for gaining control of the targeted system, ASEC researchers wrote in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/asec.ahnlab.com\/en\/54647\/\">report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>MIG Logcleaner v2.0 is also installed and its name explains why \u2013 the malware is used to delete or modify specific logs within files, making it more difficult for analysts to detect and track the attack.<\/p>\n<p>The source code for Tsunami is publicly available and threat groups will modify it and add features to fit their needs. In the campaign ASEC explored, the attackers used a variant named Ziggy.<\/p>\n<p>While SSH allows admins to remotely log into a system, they need credentials to do so.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If simple account credentials [like user IDs and passwords] are used in a Linux system, a threat actor can log into the system through brute force or a dictionary attack, allowing them to execute malicious commands,&#8221; the researchers wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This includes scanning the internet for publicly exposed Linux SSH servers and using known account credentials to run the attacks and log in, followed by executing a command to download the malware. The attackers were also seen writing new public and private SSH keys to ensure continued access to the infected system.<\/p>\n<p>Tsunami also ensures persistence in the compromised system by writing itself onto the &#8220;\/etc\/rc.local&#8221; file so that it continues to run even after the system reboots.<\/p>\n<p>Once in, Tsunami can not only run DDoS attacks but also other tasks, including collecting system information and downloading additional payloads, all while communicating with its command-and-control (C&amp;C) server via the IRC protocol, a decades-old internet chat protocol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Additionally, information such as the C&amp;C address and the channel password are encrypted and saved. Tsunami decrypts and retrieves the strings it needs during its execution,&#8221; ASEC wrote. &#8220;There are two C&amp;C server addresses, and Tsunami randomly selects one of them to attempt a connection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To protect systems against such attacks, the researchers reiterated the need for difficult-to-guess account passwords that are changed periodically and to keep the system patches up to date. Enterprises also should employ firewalls. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
