In late 2023 and early 2024, the ransomware ecosystem experienced repeated disruption of its most prolific Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) groups at the hands of international Law Enforcement (LE). Alphv’s dark web data leak site was seized, then unseized, then re-seized in a December 2023 law enforcement operation that seemingly failed to deter the group – until AlphV ultimately claimed to disband via an apparent exit scam, immediately following a high-profile attack against Change Healthcare in March 2024. LockBit experienced a far more dramatic and well-marketed disruption, “Operation Cronos,” in February 2024, leading to the compromise of its infrastructure, internal operational details, and data. While LockBit has ostensibly continued operations, its highly publicized disruption raises the question of whether the group will be able to continue operating and attracting affiliates at the level they once enjoyed.

This joint guide, Understanding and Responding to Distributed Denial-Of-Service Attacks, addresses the specific needs and challenges faced by organizations in defending against DDoS attacks. The guidance now includes detailed insight into three different types of DDoS techniques:
Volumetric, attacks aiming to consume available bandwidth.
Protocol, attacks which exploit vulnerabilities in network protocols.
Application, attacks targeting vulnerabilities in specific applications or running services.

Akamai security researcher Tomer Peled recently discovered a high-severity vulnerability in Kubernetes that was assigned CVE-2023-5528 with a CVSS score of 7.2.
The vulnerability allows remote code execution with SYSTEM privileges on all Windows endpoints within a Kubernetes cluster. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to apply malicious YAML files on the cluster.
This vulnerability can lead to full takeover on all Windows nodes in a cluster.
This vulnerability can be exploited on default installations of Kubernetes (earlier than version 1.28.4), and was tested against both on-prem deployments and Azure Kubernetes Service.
In this blog post, we provide a proof-of-concept YAML file as well as an Open Policy Agent (OPA) rule for blocking this vulnerability.

The Russia-linked threat actor known as APT28 has been linked to multiple ongoing phishing campaigns that employ lure documents imitating government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Europe, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, and North and South America.
"The uncovered lures include a mixture of internal and publicly available documents, as well as possible actor-generated documents associated with finance, critical infrastructure, executive engagements, cyber security, maritime security, healthcare, business, and defense industrial production," IBM X-Force said in a report published last week.
X-Force is tracking multiple ongoing ITG05 phishing campaigns featuring lure documents covering several topics. Learn more about this continuing threat.
