Increased Social Engineering attacks targeting the IT Helpdesk

As per the latest sector alert published by The U.S. Health and Human Services, in coordination with its Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center, advises on having user awareness training, as well as policies and procedures for increased security for identity verification with help desk requests. The threat actors continue to evolve their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to achieve their goal which is to gain initial access to target organizations.

Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures used by threat actors

As per the HC3 April 3rd alert social engineering is being used across the Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) sector to gain unauthorized access to systems. Threat actors are employing sophisticated social engineering techniques to target an organization’s IT help desk with phone calls from an area code local to the target organization, claiming to be an employee in a financial role (specifically in revenue cycle or administrator roles).

The threat actor can provide the required sensitive information for identity verification, including the last four digits of the target employee’s social security number (SSN) and corporate ID number, along with other demographic details. These details were likely obtained from professional networking sites and other publicly available information sources, such as previous data breaches.

The threat actor claimed that their phone was broken, and therefore could not log in or receive MFA tokens. The threat actor then successfully convinced the IT help desk to enroll a new device in multi-factor authentication (MFA) to gain access to corporate resources.

After gaining access, the threat actor specifically targeted login information related to payer websites, where they then submitted a form to make ACH changes for payer accounts. Once access has been gained to employee email accounts, they sent instructions to payment processors to divert legitimate payments to attacker-controlled U.S. bank accounts.

The funds were then transferred to overseas accounts. During the malicious campaign, the threat actor also registered a domain with a single-letter variation of the target organization and created an account impersonating the target organization’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Rise in Spearphishing voice

What is Spearphishing?

Phishing can be targeted, known as spearphishing. In spearphishing, a specific individual, company, or industry will be targeted by the adversary.

Spearphishing voice is a specific variant of spearphishing. It is different from other forms of spearphishing in that it employs the use of manipulating a user into providing access to systems through a phone call or other forms of voice communications. Spearphishing frequently involves social engineering techniques, such as posing as a trusted source (impersonation) and/or creating a sense of urgency or alarm for the recipient.

Scattered Spider is a cybercriminal group that has been active since at least 2022 targeting customer relationship management and business-process outsourcing (BPO) firms as well as telecommunications and technology companies. During campaigns, Scattered Spider has leveraged targeted social-engineering techniques and attempted to bypass popular endpoint security tools

They have used several techniques to exploit such as Account Discovery: Cloud Account, Account Discovery: Email Account, Account Manipulation: Additional Cloud Roles, Account Manipulation: Device Registration, Account Manipulation: Additional Cloud Credentials, Data from Cloud Storage, Data from Information Repositories: Sharepoint, Exploit Public-Facing Application, External Remote Services, Gather Victim Identity Information: Credentials, Impersonation, Ingress Tool Transfer, Modify Cloud Compute Infrastructure: Create Cloud Instance, Multi-Factor Authentication Request Generation, Network Service Discovery, Obtain Capabilities: Tool, OS Credential Dumping: DCSync, Permission Groups Discovery: Cloud Groups, Phishing: Spearphishing Voice, Phishing for Information: Spearphishing Voice, Phishing for Information: Spearphishing Service, Protocol Tunneling, Proxy, Remote Access Software, Remote Services: Cloud Services, Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts, Web Service, Windows Management Instrumentation

How can organizations protect against Spearphishing Voice?

Healthcare organizations and service providers need to implement various detection methods,  policies, and procedures to validate the users requesting a password reset or mobile device enrollment.

Helpdesk agents need to employ atmost judgement as the adversary will employ manipulation techniques to bypass the call-back authentication or verification process in place.

Monitor call logs from corporate devices to identify patterns of potential voice phishing, such as calls to/from known malicious phone numbers. Correlate these records with system events.

  • Enable  logging of events, messaging, and other artifacts provided by third-party services ( ex: metrics, errors, and/or alerts )
  • Monitor the events and alerts 24X7X365 using Security Operation Center (SOC)
  • Ensure to use of security systems that can tag events from NDR, EDR, SIEM to MITRE ATT&CK framework and are able to predict the later movement quickly

Users can be trained to identify and report social engineering techniques and spearphishing attempts, while also being suspicious of and verifying the identity of callers.

  • Train users to be aware of access or manipulation attempts by an adversary to reduce the risk of successful spearphishing, social engineering, and other techniques that involve user interaction.
  • Periodic security awareness training and tabletop exercises can help users understand the impact and mitigation procedures.
  • Reviewing process and having escalation procedures for confirming incoming requests through an independent platform like a phone call or in-person, to reduce risk.

They employ a team of skilled cybersecurity professionals with specialized knowledge and experience in handling various security challenges.

24/7 Monitoring and Response:

Cyber threats can occur at any time, day or night. MSSPs offer continuous monitoring of an organization's networks and systems. This 24/7 monitoring ensures that potential threats are identified and addressed in real-time, reducing the risk of data breaches and minimizing downtime.

Advanced Tools and Technologies:

MSSPs utilize advanced security tools, technologies, and threat intelligence platforms that might be cost-prohibitive for individual organizations to implement and manage on their own. This allows organizations to benefit from cutting-edge security solutions without the need for significant upfront investments.

Scalability:

As organizations grow, their security needs also evolve. MSSPs offer scalability, allowing organizations to easily adjust the level of security services based on their changing requirements without having to invest in new infrastructure or hire additional personnel.

Cost Efficiency:

Building an in-house cybersecurity team and infrastructure can be expensive. It requires recruiting, training, and retaining skilled cybersecurity professionals, as well as investing in hardware, software, and ongoing maintenance. MSSPs offer a more cost-effective solution, as organizations pay for the services they need without the overhead of managing an internal security team.

Focus on Core Business Activities:

Managing cybersecurity internally can be resource-intensive and distract organizations from their core business objectives. By outsourcing security to MSSPs, organizations can free up their internal resources to focus on strategic initiatives that drive growth and innovation.

Compliance and Regulations:

Many industries are subject to strict regulatory requirements regarding data protection and cybersecurity. MSSPs have experience in navigating these compliance frameworks and can help organizations ensure that they meet the necessary standards.

Rapid Incident Response:

In the event of a security incident or breach, MSSPs have established incident response protocols and teams ready to mitigate the damage and guide the organization through the recovery process.

Risk Management:

MSSPs provide organizations with a comprehensive understanding of their security posture and vulnerabilities. This enables organizations to make informed decisions about risk mitigation strategies and allocate resources effectively.

Threat Intelligence:

‍ MSSPs gather threat intelligence from a wide range of sources, allowing them to identify emerging threats and trends. This proactive approach helps organizations stay ahead of potential attacks and adapt their security measures accordingly.

In summary, Managed Security Services offer organizations the advantage of specialized expertise, round-the-clock protection, advanced tools, scalability, cost savings, and the ability to focus on core business activities. As cyber threats become more sophisticated and prevalent, many organizations find that partnering with MSSPs is a strategic way to enhance their overall cybersecurity posture.

Mitigating the Robinhood Data Breach: How Fortuna Cysec Could Have Prevented the Attack

The recent data breach at Robinhood, a major U.S.-based financial institution, exposed the personal information of approximately 7 million users. The breach was caused by social engineering tactics, where an attacker tricked a customer support employee into providing access to internal systems. This incident underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to prevent such intrusions. Fortuna Cysec, with its extensive suite of security solutions, could have effectively mitigated this attack.

Understanding the Attack  

The Robinhood breach involved an attacker leveraging social engineering to manipulate an employee into granting unauthorized access. Once inside, the attacker exfiltrated customer email addresses, names, and, in some cases, additional sensitive data. This type of attack highlights vulnerabilities in identity access management, user behavior analytics, and endpoint security.

‍How Fortuna Cysec Could Have Prevented the Breach?

Fortuna Cysec offers a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that addresses multiple aspects of security, ensuring that financial institutions like Robinhood can defend against similar attacks.

  1. Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM)
    Implementing strong IAM and PAM solutions ensures that only authorized personnel can access critical systems. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and just-in-time (JIT) access control would have minimized unauthorized entry.
    ‍
  2. User Behavior Analytics & Threat Intelligence
    Fortuna Cysec’s User Behavior Analytics (UBA) could have detected unusual access patterns, flagging an attempted social engineering attack in real time.
    Threat Intelligence (TI) services would have proactively identified phishing attempts and alerted security teams to potential threats.
  1. Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) and Network Detection & Response (NDR)
    EDR and NDR solutions would have monitored and responded to anomalous activity on employee workstations and internal networks, identifying unauthorized access attempts.
  1. Security Awareness Training
    A robust training program for employees would have educated Robinhood’s customer support staff on recognizing and responding to social engineering attacks.
  1. SIEM and SOAR for Real-Time Threat Detection
    Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) combined with Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) would have detected and mitigated the attack by correlating suspicious activities and automating security responses.
  1. Incident Management and Forensics
    In the event of a breach, Fortuna Cysec’s Incident Management and Forensics services would have facilitated rapid containment, investigation, and remediation.
  1. Penetration Testing & Red/Blue Team Exercises
    Regular penetration testing and adversary emulation exercises would have identified vulnerabilities in Robinhood’s security posture before an actual attack occurred.

‍
‍Conclusion  

Robinhood’s data breach highlights the importance of a multi-layered security approach. Fortuna Cysec’s solutions, including IAM, UBA, EDR, SIEM, and security training, would have significantly reduced the risk of a successful social engineering attack. Financial institutions must proactively implement these advanced security measures to safeguard their customers and reputation.

MDR & Healthcare
Healthcare
Managed Security Services

Why MDR matters for healthcare organizations

The healthcare industry faces constant challenges in managing overheads, maintaining staffing levels, and striving for increased efficiency without impacting patient care. But like all industries today, healthcare is also reliant on technology, and with that comes additional vulnerabilities that need to be considered for safe operations.

Why MDR matters for healthcare organizations.

 The healthcare industry faces constant challenges in managing overheads, maintaining staffing levels, and striving for increased efficiency without impacting patient care. But like all industries today, healthcare is also reliant on technology, and with that comes additional vulnerabilities that need to be considered for safe operations.

Managed Detection and Response services are an essential option to ensure healthcare organizations are well protected without impacting that focus on efficiency and quality of service.

What is Managed Detection and Response?

 With healthcare systems increasingly connected, and the understanding that previous threats such as the Log4j vulnerability still present risk, security is a constant concern for any healthcare operation. Managed detection and response, or MDR, offers a complete, end-to-end turnkey solution that covers monitoring and detection, threat response, and investigation across the entire technology systems in use.

Why does Healthcare MDR matter?

 Having that comprehensive service covering vulnerabilities can solve many issues healthcare organizations struggle with. Employee burnout is a continuing industry problem, not just with clinical staff, surveys show that as many as 42% of IT workers are struggling and are thinking of changing jobs.

With a global shortage of replacements, up to 3.5 million according to industry experts, maintaining in-house security can be a significant challenge. MDR delivers the protection required from highly trained and experienced teams, without impacting business employees at all.

Not only does this free your management team from ongoing security requirements but allows them to focus efforts on other aspects of security that can have a positive effect too. Training for end users and developing appropriate policies to manage risk and avoid process errors that introduce vulnerabilities.

What can MDR do for your healthcare organization?

 In 2023, over 115million PHI records were leaked, with over 700 reported breaches in the year. This signifies the elevated level of risk involved but also represents huge time and cost penalties for the healthcare businesses involved. With an ever-greater use of connected devices, risks continue to increase, requiring a robust solution that delivers improved resilience without requiring additional and costly resources within the organizations. MDR services deliver on all key needs today and thanks to scalability, maintain protection as potential vulnerabilities grow.

Given the cost of hiring in-house security teams, not to mention 24X7X365 SOC and management oversight, MDR delivers tangible cost savings. From the technology infrastructure needed for the SOC to integrating with threat intelligence and providing full internal threat detection, a managed response unit can have a significant impact on annual budgets even before considering ongoing costs. In addition, in-house provision also adds further liability to any healthcare organization, requiring it to always maintain a higher level of protection. Setting up such internal solutions takes time too, time where potential threats can become real breaches.

MDR delivers quickly, eliminating large investments for a structured, predictable ongoing cost, while also avoiding more management resources being allocated to none-healthcare, none-revenue generating operations.  

Round-the-clock Solution to Suit Healthcare needs

 MDR is delivered as a turnkey solution, with monitoring and threat response available 24 hours, 365 days a year to match the needs of busy healthcare providers. Importantly, MDR includes elements of threat intelligence, and threat hunting, which is a proactive approach to threat detection that delivers superior outcomes for high-risk situations such as healthcare.

Combined, this 24/7 solution and active threat detection avoid issues with staffing the SOC for 24x7X365 operation and burnout in your security team. Healthcare organizations often produce high alert volumes, which can become tiring for the limited resources of internal teams. The danger here is that it can be tempting to only look at high alerts in these situations, leaving mid and low-level alerts unattended, which could, and often do, turnout to be the real threats.

MDR systems leverage AI and machine learning to identify ongoing threats and provide a more complete coverage that is not practical in other ways. These systems also identify threats that traditional security options may miss completely, such as compromised accounts, vulnerabilities with remote access, or misconfigured cloud systems.

With the unique threats and resource issues that healthcare organizations face, maintaining security is an ongoing challenge. At the same time, security is ever more crucial to business operations, making MDR services a very useful tool for protecting organizations from threats without requiring extensive and expensive management oversight.

The threat actor claimed that their phone was broken, and therefore could not log in or receive MFA tokens. The threat actor then successfully convinced the IT help desk to enroll a new device in multi-factor authentication (MFA) to gain access to corporate resources.

After gaining access, the threat actor specifically targeted login information related to payer websites, where they then submitted a form to make ACH changes for payer accounts. Once access has been gained to employee email accounts, they sent instructions to payment processors to divert legitimate payments to attacker-controlled U.S. bank accounts.

The funds were then transferred to overseas accounts. During the malicious campaign, the threat actor also registered a domain with a single-letter variation of the target organization and created an account impersonating the target organization’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Cutting Through the Noise: Making Sense of EDR, XDR, MDR & Modern Security Controls

Cybersecurity tools have never been more abundant—or more confusing. This session demystifies the major security control categories that healthcare and senior-care organizations are being pushed to adopt, explaining what they actually do, what they don't, and how to evaluate them based on real risk, compliance pressures, and operational needs. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for selecting solutions that truly improve protection rather than add complexity or cost.
