Information security executives explain how media companies can be hacked and why we, as consumers, should care in this Malicious Life BSide podcast.
Cybereason Global SOC Team
The Cybereason Global Security Operations Center (SOC) issues Cybereason Threat Alerts to inform customers of emerging impacting threats. The Alerts summarize these threats and provide practical recommendations for protecting against them.
The GSOC Cybereason Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Team is investigating a series of recent infections that use the SolarMarker backdoor. SolarMarker enables attackers to execute commands, PowerShell scripts, and Windows executables on compromised systems, and to deploy additional malware. The malware author uses the .NET framework to implement SolarMarker.
A SolarMarker infection exhibits the following malicious activity:
The .tmp file (ways-of-working-document-template.tmp) executes PowerShell code and a legitimate installer file (pdfescape_desktop_installer.exe)
Execution of the decrypted PowerShell code
Functions implemented as part of the reflectively loaded .NET assembly, including [Mars.Deimos]::Interact
