Peretas Korea Utara menggunakan ekstensi Chrome untuk mencuri email Gmail

March 25, 2023 by Coffee Bean

Technology For Cyber Illegal Hacker Computer

Penasihat keamanan siber bersama dari Kantor Federal Jerman untuk Perlindungan Konstitusi (BfV) dan Badan Intelijen Nasional Republik Korea (NIS) memperingatkan tentang penggunaan ekstensi Chrome oleh Kimsuky untuk mencuri email Gmail target.

Kimsuky (alias Thallium, Velvet Chollima) adalah kelompok ancaman Korea Utara yang menggunakan spear phishing untuk melakukan spionase dunia maya terhadap diplomat, jurnalis, lembaga pemerintah, profesor universitas, dan politisi. Awalnya berfokus pada target di Korea Selatan, pelaku ancaman memperluas operasi dari waktu ke waktu untuk menargetkan entitas di AS dan Eropa.

Mencuri email Gmail

Serangan dimulai dengan email spear-phishing yang mendesak korban untuk menginstal ekstensi Chrome berbahaya, yang juga akan diinstal di browser berbasis Chromium, seperti Microsoft Edge atau Brave.

Ekstensi bernama ‘AF’ dan hanya dapat dilihat di daftar ekstensi jika pengguna memasukkan “(chrome|edge| brave)://extensions” di bilah alamat browser.

Setelah korban mengunjungi Gmail melalui browser yang terinfeksi, ekstensi secara otomatis aktif untuk mencegat dan mencuri konten email korban.

Ekstensi tersebut menyalahgunakan Devtools API (developer tools API) di browser untuk mengirim data yang dicuri ke server relai penyerang, secara diam-diam mencuri email mereka tanpa merusak atau melewati perlindungan keamanan akun.

Ini bukan pertama kalinya Kimsuky menggunakan ekstensi Chrome jahat untuk mencuri email dari sistem yang dilanggar.

Pada Juli 2022, Volexity melaporkan tentang kampanye serupa yang menggunakan ekstensi bernama “SHARPEXT”. Pada Desember 2018, Netscout melaporkan bahwa Kimsuky mengikuti taktik yang sama terhadap target akademisi.

Kali ini, hash dari file jahat yang digunakan Kimsuky dalam serangan terbarunya adalah:

  • 012D5FFE697E33D81B9E7447F4AA338B (manifest.json)
  • 582A033DA897C967FAADE386AC30F604 (bg.js)
  • 51527624E7921A8157F820EB0CA78E29 (dev.js)
