The Vice Society may be upping its marketing game.

Cybersecurity firm SentinelOne discovered a new ransomware variant in use by the Vice Society group. It's custom-branded for the group, a first for these threat actors. Vice Society activity has been observed since June 2021, and was always seen utilizing third-party ransomware strains, such as “HelloKitty,” “Five Hands,” and “Zeppelin,” SentinelOne reports. The strain seen in a recent intrusion, which the firm’s researchers have dubbed “PolyVice,” appends the file extension of encrypted files to “.ViceSociety.” The recent findings that the Zeppelin ransomware strain implemented weak encryption that allowed for decryption may have been a factor in the group’s implementation of the new PolyVice variant. It is suspected that this ransomware is likely from a vendor, as Chilly ransomware and SunnyDay ransomware have identical functions, with variations only in campaign-specific details. For more on PolyVice, see CyberWire Pro.

How to Stay Secure in a World of Distractions: Get the Report

1Password’s annual State of Access report explores how a time of “permacrisis” has direct implications to today’s workforce. The evidence is clear: with employee distraction at an all-time high, good cybersecurity habits are slipping. Download the report to learn more about this idea of “permacrisis”, how it directly impacts your employees’ security hygiene, and how implementing human-centric security solutions is crucial in today’s climate.

Royal ransomware may have a connection to Conti.

Researchers at Trend Micro have published a report on the relatively new Royal ransomware. Royal attacks are being launched by a sophisticated gang that used to operate the now (apparently) defunct Conti ransomware. Royal ransomware first surfaced in September 2022, and the vast majority of its attacks have targeted entities in the US and Brazil. The threat actor uses “callback phishing,” a social engineering technique in which the attacker poses as technical support and instructs the victim over the phone to install remote desktop software. The threat actors also exfiltrate data before executing the ransomware. Trend Micro predicts that the Royal ransomware operators will increase their activity in the coming months. For more on the investigation of Royal ransomware, see CyberWire Pro.

KillNet goes after healthcare.

KillNet, the hacktivist auxiliary that has been perhaps the most publicly prominent Russian actor in cyberspace over the last few months of the war, has turned its attention to healthcare. The US Department of Health and Human Services, through its Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3) has warned US hospitals and other healthcare providers that they should expect to receive attention from KillNet. "KillNet has previously targeted, or threatened to target, organizations in the Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) sector," the HC3 Analyst Note says. Much of the activity (and it's worth noting that more has been threatened than has apparently materialized) has represented a threat to data privacy, but in other cases KillNet has threatened medical devices.

KillNet does tend to do more woofing than biting. "It is worth taking any claims KillNet makes about its attacks or operations with a grain of salt," the Note says. "Given the group’s tendency to exaggerate, it is possible some of these announced operations and developments may only be to garner attention, both publicly and across the cybercrime underground." Nonetheless, HC3 suggests several steps healthcare organizations might take to protect themselves and their patients.

CISA publishes stakeholder engagement plan.

CISA, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, has published a Strategic Plan for Stakeholder Engagement. The goals of the 2023-2025 plan (the first of its kind for CISA) are to:

"Foster collaboration on stakeholder engagement and outreach across CISA divisions,
"Gain a better understanding of stakeholders’ security risks and needs, and
"Effectively provide stakeholders access to CISA’s products, services, resources, and information."
