Itu ransomware, atau mungkin disk wiper, dan itu menyerang target di Israel

May 27, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Para peneliti mengatakan mereka telah menemukan malware disk wiper yang belum pernah terlihat sebelumnya yang menyamar sebagai ransomware saat meluncurkan serangan destruktif terhadap target Israel.

Apostle, seperti para peneliti di firma keamanan SentinelOne menyebut malware tersebut, pada awalnya digunakan dalam upaya untuk menghapus data tetapi gagal melakukannya, kemungkinan karena kesalahan logika dalam kodenya.

Nama internal yang diberikan oleh pengembangnya adalah “wiper-action.” Dalam versi yang lebih baru, bug telah diperbaiki dan malware mendapatkan perilaku ransomware lengkap, termasuk kemampuan untuk meninggalkan catatan yang menuntut korban membayar tebusan sebagai ganti kunci dekripsi.

Dalam sebuah posting yang diterbitkan hari Selasa, peneliti SentinelOne mengatakan mereka menilai dengan keyakinan tinggi bahwa berdasarkan kode dan server yang dilaporkan Apostle, malware itu digunakan oleh kelompok yang baru ditemukan yang memiliki hubungan dengan pemerintah Iran.

Sementara catatan ransomware yang ditemukan para peneliti menunjukkan bahwa Apostle telah digunakan terhadap fasilitas penting di Uni Emirat Arab, target utamanya adalah Israel.

Para peneliti telah menjuluki kelompok peretasan baru tersebut Agrius. SentinelOne melihat grup pertama kali menggunakan Apostle sebagai disk wiper, meskipun cacat pada malware mencegahnya melakukannya, kemungkinan besar karena kesalahan logika dalam kodenya. Agrius kemudian menggunakan Deadwood, wiper yang telah digunakan terhadap target di Arab Saudi pada tahun 2019.
