Ransomware Actors Abuse Microsoft Teams - Ransomware groups are using Microsoft Teams for vishing attacks, bypassing email security measures, and tricking employees into granting remote access, which leads to data breaches.
Ransomware groups are increasingly exploiting Microsoft Teams to conduct "vishing" attacks, bypassing traditional email security measures. Attackers are initiating these attacks by flooding targeted employees with large numbers of spam emails, creating a sense of alarm. Shortly after, the attackers reach out via Microsoft Teams, posing as IT support personnel, and trick the employee into granting remote access under the guise of fixing a problem. This tactic allows the attackers to install malware directly onto the employee’s system, providing access to the company's network.

Sophos has observed over 15 incidents of this kind in the past three months with the incidents being split evenly over two different groups. These groups operate their own Microsoft 365 instances to appear legitimate and often use accounts such as "Help Desk Manager" which makes them appear like a genuine internal IT contact to the targeted employees. Security experts are highlighting the importance of changing the default Microsoft Teams settings to prevent external users from directly messaging or calling internal employees. These attacks rely on the employee’s distress and an eagerness to resolve the problem quickly, overriding their critical thinking and caution.

Ransomware Gangs Accelerate Encryption Timelines - Ransomware gangs are accelerating operations, with the average time-to-ransom now at 17 hours, employing advanced evasion and data extortion strategies.
Ransomware gangs are accelerating their operations, significantly reducing the time between initial system compromise and encryption deployment. Recent cybersecurity analyses reveal the average time-to-ransom (TTR) now stands at a mere 17 hours. This marks a dramatic shift from previous tactics where attackers would remain hidden within networks for extended periods to maximize reconnaissance and control. Some groups, like Akira, Play, and Dharma/Crysis, have even achieved TTRs as low as 4-6 hours, demonstrating remarkable efficiency and adaptability.

This rapid pace presents considerable challenges for organizations attempting to defend against these attacks. The shrinking window for detection and response necessitates proactive threat detection and rapid incident response capabilities. The trend also highlights the increasing sophistication of ransomware groups, which are employing advanced tools and techniques to quickly achieve their objectives, often exploiting vulnerabilities in remote monitoring and management tools or using initial access brokers to infiltrate networks, escalate privileges, and deploy ransomware payloads.

FunkSec Ransomware Group Uses AI for Attacks - FunkSec, a new ransomware group, uses AI to enhance their tools, breaches databases, and sells access to government websites, employing advanced ransomware tactics and operating with financial and hacktivist motivations.
References: , malware.news , The Hacker News ...
FunkSec, a new ransomware group, has quickly risen to prominence since late 2024, claiming over 85 victims in its first month, more than any other group during the same period. This four-member team operates as a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), but has no established connections to other ransomware networks. FunkSec uses a blend of financial and ideological motivations, targeting governments and corporations in the USA, India and Israel while also aligning with some hacktivist causes, creating a complex operational profile. The group employs double extortion tactics, breaching databases and selling access to compromised websites.

A key aspect of FunkSec's operations is their use of AI to enhance their tools, such as developing malware, creating phishing templates, and even a chatbot for malicious activities. The group developed a proprietary AI tool called WormGPT for desktop use. Their ransomware is advanced using multiple encryption methods, and is able to disable protection mechanisms while gaining administrator privileges. They claim that AI contributes to only about 20% of their operations; despite their technical capabilities sometimes revealing inexperience, the rapid iteration of their tools suggests the AI assistance lowers the barrier for new actors in cybercrime.
