VPNFILTER Woven Throw by Glitch Textiles

https://www.open-vault.com/aptvol1/vpnfilter The design is made by visualizing a section of code from the VPNFILTER advanced multi-stage modular malware created by the APT28 threat actor. VPNFILTER is advanced, state-sponsored malware that targets internet connected routers and networked storage devices common in small office and home networks. It was developed by an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT). APTs are highly skilled and well resources hacking groups that focus on selective targets for a sustained period of time.

The Rise of AI Powered Malware

AI malware is a growing concern in the world of cybersecurity. These types of malware use artificial intelligence and machine learning to evade detection and cause significant damage to individuals and organizations.

One example of AI malware is the "VPNFilter" malware, which was discovered in 2017 by researchers. This malware was able to infect routers and network-attached storage devices, and was able to evade detection by regularly changing its command-and-control servers. This made it difficult for security experts to track and remove the malware. It was later discovered that the malware was developed by a Russian state-sponsored group known as "Sandworm Team."

Another example of AI malware is the use of deepfake videos to spread malware through social media platforms. In 2018, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham discovered that these types of videos could be used to bypass security measures by disguising themselves as legitimate video files. The malware was then spread through social media and messaging apps, and was being distributed by a group known as the "Turla" APT group, which is believed to be operating out of Russia.

AI-powered malware can also be used to launch DDoS attacks. For example, the Mirai botnet, which was discovered in 2016, was able to infect and control IoT devices, such as routers and security cameras, and use them to launch DDoS attacks. The botnet was able to generate massive amounts of traffic, resulting in some of the largest DDoS attacks seen to date.

The use of AI in malware is a serious threat to cybersecurity, as it can be used to launch large-scale attacks that are more difficult to detect and prevent. It's important for individuals and organizations to be aware of the potential for AI malware and to take appropriate precautions to protect themselves from these types of attacks.

“They’re not trying to gather as much traffic as they can. They’re after certain very small things like credentials and passwords“,  Craig Williams

Current U.S. officials and other experts have linked VPNFilter to a hacking group known as APT28, also called “Fancy Bear.” This entity is widely associated with Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and has been blamed for breaching the Democratic National Committee in 2016.

Court documents suggested last week that Russia had been involved in VPNFilter.

Simply put, VPNFilter is dangerous because it offers the attacker the ability to both destroy data, rendering the device unusable, and covertly spy on specific targets. With Wednesday’s findings, perhaps the most unsettling new capability discovered by Talos is that VPNFilter can also execute a man-in-the-middle attack on incoming Web traffic that passes through infected routers; giving APT28 an avenue to inject malware into legitimate web applications.

“Initially when we saw this we thought it was primarily made for offensive capabilities like routing attacks around the Internet,” Craig Williams, a senior technology leader and global outreach manager at Talos, told Ars Technica reporter Dan Goodin. “But it appears [attackers] have completely evolved past that, and now not only does it allow them to do that, but they can manipulate everything going through the compromised device. They can modify your bank account balance so that it looks normal while at the same time they’re siphoning off money and potentially PGP keys and things like that. They can manipulate everything going in and out of the device.”

“They’re looking for very specific things,” Williams said. "They’re not trying to gather as much traffic as they can. They’re after certain very small things like credentials and passwords. We don’t have a lot of intel on that other than it seems incredibly targeted and incredibly sophisticated. We’re still trying to figure out who they were using that on.”

From  Ars Technica

To bypass TLS encryption that’s designed to prevent such attacks, ssler actively tries to downgrade HTTPS connections to plaintext HTTP traffic. It then changes request headers to signal that the end point isn’t capable of using encrypted connections.
