‘Doomsday’ worm uses seven NSA exploits (WannaCry used two) – CNET

Posted: May 23, 2017 at 10:32 pm

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new worm that uses seven of the NSA's leaked exploits.

If the NSA's leaked hacking tools had a Voltron, it would be EternalRocks.

On Sunday, researchers confirmed new malware, named EternalRocks, that uses seven exploits first discovered by the National Security Agency and leaked in April by the Shadow Brokers group. Experts described the malware as a "doomsday" worm that could strike suddenly.

Earlier this month, the WannaCry ransomware plagued hospitals, schools and offices around the world and spread to more than 300,000 computers. It uses two NSA exploits that were leaked by the Shadow Brokers, EternalBlue and DoublePulsar. A few days later, researchers found Adylkuzz, new malware that spread using those same exploits and created botnets to mine for cryptocurrency.

Now, there's EternalRocks. Miroslav Stampar, a cybersecurity expert for Croatia's CERT, first discovered the hodgepodge of hacks on Wednesday. The earliest findings of EternalRocks goes all the way back to May 3, he wrote in a description on GitHub.

EternalRocks uses EternalBlue, DoublePulsar, EternalChampion, EternalRomance, EternalSynergy, ArchiTouch and SMBTouch -- all tools leaked by the Shadow Brokers. Stampar said he found the packed hack after it infected his honeypot, a trap set to monitor incoming malware.

The majority of the tools exploit vulnerabilities with standard file sharing technology used by PCs called Microsoft Windows Server Message Block, which is how WannaCry spread so quickly without being noticed. Microsoft patched these vulnerabilities in March, but many outdated computers remain at risk.

Unlike WannaCry, which alerts victims they've been infected through ransomware, EternalRocks remains hidden and quiet on computers. Once in a computer, it downloads Tor's private browser and sends a signal to the worm's hidden servers.

Then, it waits. For 24 hours, EternalRocks does nothing. But after a day, the server responds and starts downloading and self-replicating. That means security experts who want to get more information and study the malware will be delayed by a day.

"By delaying the communications the bad actors are attempting to be more stealthy," Michael Patterson, CEO of security firm Plixer, said in an emailed statement. "The race to detect and stop all malware was lost years ago."

It even names itself WannaCry in an attempt to hide from security researchers, Stampar said. Like variants of WannaCry, EternalRocks also doesn't have a kill-switch, so it can't be as easily blocked off.

For now, EternalRocks remains dormant as it continues to spread and infect more computers. Stampar warns the worm can be weaponized at any time, the same way that WannaCry's ransomware struck all at once after it had already infected thousands of computers.

Because of its stealthy nature, it's unclear how many computers EternalRocks has infected. It's also unclear what EternalRocks will be weaponized into. Plixer said the worm could be immediately turned into more ransomware or trojan attacks for banking.

The NSA has been widely criticized for holding onto these exploits without warning the companies involved. On Wednesday, Congress introduced a bill that would force the government to hand over its cyber arsenal to independent review boards.

The NSA didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Government not ‘sitting on hundreds of zero days,’ former NSA official says – FedScoop

Posted: at 10:32 pm

This story first appeared on CyberScoop.

Storm clouds are rising over the U.S. governments policy on software flawdisclosure after the massive WannaCry infection spread using a cyberweapon developed by the NSA, and even former agency leaders say it might be time to take a fresh look at the Vulnerability Equities Process.

Under the VEP, U.S. officials weigh the benefits of disclosing a newly discoveredflaw to the manufacturer which can issue a patch to protect customers or having the government retain itfor spying on foreign adversaries who use the vulnerable software. The process has always had a bias toward disclosure, former federal officials said.

We disclose something like 90 percent of the vulnerabilities we find, said Richard Ledgett, who retired April 28 as the NSAs deputy director. Theres a narrative out there that were sitting on hundreds of zero days and thats just not the case, he told Georgetown University Law Centers annualcybersecurity law institute.

On the contrary, he said, the process, led by the [White House National Security Council], is very bureaucratic and slow and doesnt have the throughput that it needs. He said itwas an issue NSA leaders had raised with both the previous administration and the Trump White House and that currenthomeland security adviser Thomas Bossert had promised to fix.

A zero day vulnerability is a newly discovered software flaw one the manufacturer has zero days to patch before it can be exploited. An exploit is a piece of code that uses a vulnerability to work mischief on a computer, for instance allowing a remote hacker to download softwareand seize control. Not all zero days are created equal, one of the architects of the VEP, former White House Cybersecurity Coordinator J. Michael Daniel, told CyberScoop recently.

Some exploits might require physical access, or need other exploits to be pre-positioned. Some might even rely on known but widely unpatched vulnerabilities, he said. One of the reasons WannaCry spread so fast despite being relatively unsophisticated in design is that it utilizes a very powerful NSA exploit called EternalBlue.

EternalBlue was one of a large cache of NSA hacking tools dumped on the web last month by an anonymous group calling itself the Shadow Brokers an event that led to calls for the government to give up stockpiling vulnerabilities altogether.

That would be a mistake, Ledgett said, in part because even disclosed vulnerabilities can be exploited. Hackers can take apart the patch and reverse-engineer the vulnerability it is fixing, and then weaponize it with an exploit. Even when theres a patch available, Ledgett noted Many people dont patch, for all sorts of reasons. Large companies, for example, often have custom software that can breakwhen an operating system is updated.

The idea that ifyou disclose every vulnerability, everything would be hunky dory is just not true, he said.

Besides, the NSAs use of its cyber-exploit arsenal wasvery tailored, very specific, very measured, addedLedgett, agreeing that the VEP policy was in about the right place.

Indeed, he said, there was an argument to be made that Microsoft, which last weekend rushed out an unprecedented patch for discontinued but still widely used software like Windows XP, should bear some of the blame for not patching the discontinued products in March, when it patched its current products apparently in response to an advance warning from the NSA.

Daniel revealed theVEP in 2014, in response to suspicions that the NSA had known about the huge Heartbleed vulnerability in a very widely used piece of open-source software it hadnt, hesaid. But the policy has been in place since 2010, according to documents declassified in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Electronic Frontier Foundation an internet freedom advocacy group.

And Ledgett said the NSA had previously had a similar policy in place for decades. At the heart of the process, he said, is a balancing of how valuable the vulnerability in question is for the NSAs foreign intelligence mission, versus how damaging it might be U.S. companies or Americans generally, if it were discovered by an adversaryor revealed before it could be patched.

Ledgett said the new process balanced more or less the same factorsin more or less the same way although there were additional players like the State and Commerce Departments at the table in the National Security Council-led VEP.

The thing thats new since since 2014 is the risk of disclosure of a vulnerability, he said.

But former NSA director and retired four-star Air Force Gen. Michael Haydenpoints out two other things that have also changed affecting where NSA places the fulcrum in its balancing of offensive and defensive equities.

Far more often now the vulnerability in question is residing on a device that is in general use (including by Constitutionally protected US persons) than on an isolated adversary network, he wrote in a blog post for the Chertoff Group, where he now works.

He said that a comfort zone the NSA had previously enjoyed had also narrowed considerably. The comfort zone was called NOBUS, short for nobody but us. In other words,This vulnerability is so hard to detect and so hard to exploit that nobody but us (a massive, technological powerful, resource rich, nation state security service) could take advantage of it.

That playing field is being leveled, not just by competing nation states but also by powerful private sector enterprises, he concluded, The NOBUS comfort zone is considerably smaller than it once was.

This week, bipartisan bills in both chambers sought to give the VEP a basis in law.Sens. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, put forwardtheProtecting Our Ability to Counter Hacking Act, or PATCH Act.

Thank the NSA for latest global ransomware – Bangkok Post

Posted: at 10:32 pm

Everyone is talking about WannaCry(pt), the latest ransomware worm that attacked over 150 countries across the globe. It hit hospitals, universities, businesses, a telco, train stations and more. Microsoft responded by releasing emergency security patches for Windows versions as far back as XP. To Microsoft's credit they had released a patch for the issue in February, well before this exploit hit, so those that did not update were the ones hit. The lesson here is to install your security patches when they are available.

The exploit was via a vulnerability in the SMB file share system. The bug was found after the NSA's EternalBlue tool was stolen, yes, the NSA was using the exploit. Initially the tool was used to hack into devices but this latest version was added to ransomware. The unlock cost is between US$300 (10,400 baht) to $600 regardless of the target. It also adds Doublepulsar, a backdoor that allows the machine to be remotely controlled, also stolen from the NSA. BitDefender sent an email saying I was already protected but many were not. The attack was stopped when a clever person in the UK found the kill switch. There are rumours that North Korea was behind this attack like they were with the big Sony hack a while back. Others are suggesting it was a much smaller group.

The potential next version of Android, or its replacement, called Fuchsia has been tested in an early development build. The need for such a product was triggered by Oracle's litigation against Google to get Android royalties. It is open source and you can find it on Github. Hotfix's Kyle Bradshaw compiled the most recent version and you can see what it looks like by searching for "Fuchsia OS Armadillo preview" on YouTube.

With the world moving away from the PC and towards the notebook many are looking for a solution for multi-monitor support. Modern notebooks are so thin they no longer have monitor ports but don't despair, there are many solutions to try. Thunderbolt ports support video, audio, standard data transmission and power. You will of course need a Thunderbolt compatible monitor. Another solution, for those with only one Thunderbolt or USB-C port, is to get a docking station. For older users, the options include a splitter cable, a splitter box and perhaps some USB-to-HDMI adaptors. If you have the right kind of notebook, e.g. a Razor, then you may even be able to use a proper graphics card inside an external box. Those that have tried or used multiple monitors rarely want to go back to one.

The MP3 or MPEG Audio Layer III format has been officially killed off by the Fraunhofer Institute, which did not renew the IP rights and ceased their licensing programme. No, MP3 is not gone, it has essentially become free. MP3 is still a popular format even though others like AAC variants and MPEG-H have more features, better audio quality and use less bandwidth. With the growth of memory on devices many also now use FLAC, a lossless format rather than MP3 which reduces information but "tricks" the ears into hearing all the sound. The most recent example is MQA that may be the basis for the next great streaming technology.

Since I didn't get the LG V20 phone I'm now looking at the Huawei P10 Plus. This is a 5.5-inch QHD+ phone with 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage for a fraction of the price of the Samsung S8. The Leica dual camera is very good and it comes with the latest Kirin 960 processor. It supports a microSD but you would have to be doing a lot of 4K recording to even need such an expansion of up to an additional 256GB. A 3,750mAh non-removable battery adds some extra life and it is Android 7. Unlocked versions are already available for as low as US$630 (21,750 baht) in some places.

I was at a presentation demonstrating the SQLServer on Linux recently and besides the fact that it installs quickly, the advantage of this is that you can set up a virtual machine on a Windows 7 PC and run the latest versions like 2016 or the newest 2017. For Red Hat, Ubuntu and SUSE the product is fully integrated and an update is a simple command line. In the demo using Oracle's free VM, an Ubuntu core virtual machine was created and then SQLServer installed, which was then accessible from the Windows SQL Server Management Studio. Apart from one step involving partitioning, it was all seamless and fast. There are plenty of tutorials on the internet to walk you through this.

Finally for this week, Cray the supercomputer people are moving to supercomputing as a service model, which given how everything else is going should come as no surprise.

Flynn invokes Fifth Amendment, rebuffs Senate panel …

Posted: at 10:31 pm

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Monday invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, rebuffing a subpoena for documents from a Senate panel probing Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

Flynn's attorneys said the "escalating public frenzy against him" and the Justice Department's recent appointment of a special counsel have created a legal minefield for him.

"The context in which the committee has called for General Flynn's testimonial production of documents makes clear that he has more than a reasonable apprehension that any testimony he provides could be used against him," the attorneys wrote in the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press.

Flynn's decision comes less than two weeks after the Senate intelligence committee issued a subpoena for Flynn's documents as part of the panel's investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.

Sources close to Flynn emphasized that the decision is not evidence of guilt or wrongdoing.

Experts say records can be viewed as testimony and that providing them could be seen as waiving Fifth Amendment constitutional protections.

Flynn has previously sought immunity from "unfair prosecution" to cooperate with the committee.

The Senate committee is one of several congressional inquiries investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 race and possible collusion between Russia and President Trump's 2016 campaign. Flynn is also the target of other congressional investigations as well as an ongoing FBI counterintelligence probe and a separate federal investigation in Virginia.

Former FBI director Robert Mueller was brought in last week to serve as special counsel overseeing the FBI's Russia investigation. This is separate from the Senate committees' work.

Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, was fired from his position as Trump's national security adviser in February. At the time, Trump said he fired Flynn because he misled senior administration officials, including the vice president, about his contacts with Russian officials.

Members of key congressional committees are pledging a full public airing as to why former FBI Director James Comey was ousted amid an intensifying investigation into Russia's interference with the U.S. election.

Comey was fired by Trump earlier this month. The former FBI director agreed to testify before the Senate intelligence committee after the Memorial Day holiday.

Russia Net Tightens Around Trump As Mike Flynn To Invoke The Fifth Amendment – PoliticusUSA

Posted: at 10:31 pm

As the Trump administration continues to deny that they colluded with Russia, former national security adviser Mike Flynn will decline a subpoena from the Senate Intelligence Committee and invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

The AP reported:

In case anyone needs a constitutional refresher, the Fifth Amendment states, No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

By invoking his Fifth Amendment rights, Flynn is saying that he wont testify because his testimony would be self-incriminating. While invoking the Fifth Amendment is not a presumption of guilt, it sure doesnt look good for an administration that claims that they did nothing wrong with Russia during the campaign for one of the central figures in the scandal to refuse to testify because his testimony would be self-incriminating.

Mike Flynn wants immunity. So far, no one has been willing to grant him immunity in exchange for his testimony. Flynn wont get immunity if investigators have any other way of getting the information besides talking to the former national security adviser, but something will eventually give.

Trump is whistling through the graveyard at midnight, but with each passing moment, the Russia scandal is closing in on him.

Flynn will invoke the Fifth Amendment in response to Senate subpoena – MarketWatch

Posted: at 10:31 pm

Former national security adviser General Michael Flynn

WASHINGTON -- Former national security adviser Mike Flynn will decline to cooperate with a Senate subpoena, invoking his constitutional right against self incrimination and setting off a legal showdown with Congress over a key witness in its investigation of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election.

According to a source close to Flynn, he will tell the Senate Intelligence Committee later Monday that he wont comply with the panels request for documents, citing the Fifth Amendments protections against self incrimination. Flynn is willing to cooperate in exchange for some guarantee that he could avoid criminal prosecution, the source said.

The Senate Intelligence Committee issued the subpoena earlier this month.

The Latest: Dems alarmed by report on Trump, intel bosses – KXAN.com

Posted: at 10:31 pm

WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on ongoing investigations into Russias alleged interference with the U.S. election (all times local):

8:15 p.m.

Democrats are expressing alarm at a report alleging that President Donald Trump asked two top intelligence officials to publicly deny collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign in the 2016 election.

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, says The Washington Posts report that Trump tried to enlist the head of the National Security Agency and the national intelligence director to push the White House narrative is a disturbing allegation that Trump is interfering with the FBI probe.

Schiff says the officials involved should testify before Congress and lawmakers must request any memos documenting the conversations.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says the newspapers report Monday is an indication that Trump is trying to impede the investigation.

___

5:55 p.m.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz says he will postpone a hearing scheduled for Wednesday after speaking with former FBI Director James Comey.

Chaffetz said in a tweet Monday that Comey wants to speak with Special Counsel (Robert Mueller) prior to public testimony.

Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, has requested that the FBI turn over all documents and recordings that detail communications between Comey and President Donald Trump.

Chaffetz says he wants to determine whether the president attempted to influence or impede the FBIs investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Chaffetz had invited Comey to speak at Wednesdays hearing. The former FBI head has agreed to testify before the Senate intelligence committee after Memorial Day.

___

5:10 p.m.

The top two members of the Senate intelligence committee say they will vigorously pursue the testimony of President Donald Trumps first national security adviser, even though Michael Flynn has invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina and Mark Warner of Virginia say they are disappointed that Flynn has decided to ignore the committees subpoena. Earlier this month, the committee asked Flynn and other Trump associates for lists of meetings and notes taken during the presidential campaign.

The Senate intelligence committee is among the congressional panels investigating Russias election meddling and possible ties with the Trump campaign. The FBI is also investigating.

5 p.m.

The top Democrat on a House oversight committee says documents hes reviewed suggest that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn lied to federal security clearance investigators about the source of payments Flynn received from a Russian state-sponsored television network.

Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland says Flynn told the investigators during an early 2016 security clearance review that a trip to Moscow was funded by U.S. companies. Cummings says the actual source of the funds was the Russian media propaganda arm, RT.

Cummings made the statements in a letter to Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the Utah Republican and chairman of the House oversight committee. Cummings letter came the same day Flynn declined to provide documents to the Senate Intelligence Committee, citing his Fifth Amendment protection from self-incrimination.

___

2:20 p.m.

Attorneys for Michael Flynn say that a daily escalating public frenzy against him and the Justice Departments appointment of a special counsel have created a legally dangerous environment for him to cooperate with a Senate investigation.

Thats according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press that was written on behalf of the former national security adviser under President Donald Trump. The letter, sent Monday by Flynns legal team to the Senate Intelligence committee, lays out the case for Flynn to invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination and his decision not to produce documents in response to a congressional subpoena.

The letter says that the current context of the Senates investigation into Russias meddling in the 2016 election threatens that any testimony he provides could be used against him.

___

2 p.m.

A Republican member of the Senate Intelligence Committee says we will get to the truth one way or another even though former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is citing Fifth Amendment protections in the panels investigation into Russia.

Sen. James Lankford tweeted that it is Flynns right to invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination as part of the probe into interference in the 2016 elections.

The Oklahoma lawmaker tweeted: We need facts, not speculation & anonymous sources.

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Flynns move was unfortunate but not unexpected and the committee would gain information in other ways.

A person with direct knowledge of the matter says Flynn is citing Fifth Amendment protections. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to publicly discuss private interactions.

9:30 a.m.

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination on Monday as he notifies the Senate Intelligence committee that he will not comply with a subpoena seeking documents.

Thats according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private interactions between Flynn and the committee.

Flynns decision comes less than two weeks after the committee issued a subpoena for Flynns documents as part of the panels investigation into Russias meddling in the 2016 election.

Legal experts have said Flynn was unlikely to turn over the personal documents without immunity because he would be waiving some of his constitutional protections by doing so. Flynn has previously sought immunity from unfair prosecution to cooperate with the committee.

WASHINGTON >> Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will invoke his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as he notifies a Senate panel that he wont hand over documents in the probe into Russias meddling in the 2016 election, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

The notification will come in a letter to the Senate Intelligence committee expected later Monday. The person providing details spoke on condition anonymity in order to discuss private interactions between Flynn and the committee.

Flynns decision comes less than two weeks after the committee issued a subpoena for Flynns personal documents.

The Senate committee is one of several congressional inquiries investigating possible collusion between Russia and President Donald Trumps 2016 campaign. Flynn is also the target of other congressional investigations as well as an ongoing FBI counterintelligence probe and a separate federal investigation in Virginia.

Members of key congressional committees are pledging a full public airing as to why former FBI Director James Comey was ousted amid an intensifying investigation into Russias interference with the U.S. election.

In Sunday show appearances, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers said they will press Comey in hearings as to whether he ever felt that Trump tried to interfere with his FBI work. Others are insisting on seeing any White House or FBI documents that detail conversations between the two, following a spate of news reports that Comey had kept careful records.

Comey was fired by Trump earlier this month. The former FBI director agreed to testify before the Senate intelligence committee after the Memorial Day holiday.
