1,521 | If the first value in the packet is 0xCC then the file will set "g_mainsrvinfo.srandipb" and "g_mainsrvinfo.srandipe". If the first value in the packet is 0x33 the file will use tcp to download a file and execute it. | [] | [] | [] |
1,522 | If the first value in the packet is 0x20 the file will delete all DDoS tasks. | [] | [] | [] |

1,544 | How the Attacks are Carried Out: Via Email | [] | [] | [] |
1,545 | These attacks begin with an email sent to a carefully chosen target in the agency. | [] | [] | [] |
1,546 | The recent spoofed emails we have seen are forged to appear to come from Jane’s 360 Defense Events to tell the recipient about events coming up in 2018. | [
{
"id": 46825,
"label": "TIME",
"start_offset": 147,
"end_offset": 151
}
] | [] | [] |
1,547 | The figure below shows an example. | [] | [] | [] |
1,548 | Once the recipient opens the Excel spreadsheet, she or he does have trouble viewing the document: it opens as a blank spreadsheet. | [
{
"id": 45055,
"label": "SOFTWARE",
"start_offset": 29,
"end_offset": 34
}
] | [] | [] |
1,549 | The attackers are relying on the recipient to follow the instruction in the email and click “Enable Content”. | [] | [] | [] |
1,550 | You can see below what the spreadsheet looks like and the enable content button. | [] | [] | [] |
1,551 | Clicking the “Enable Content” button is the key to the attack. | [] | [] | [] |
1,552 | While it makes the text in the spreadsheet visible and so seems to solve the problem, it’s a trick: It’s really running a program that silently installs a program on the system. | [] | [] | [] |
1,553 | This program gives the attackers complete control over the computer and can enable them to copy documents, usernames, passwords, account information and even take screenshots. | [] | [] | [] |
1,554 | How you can protect yourself | [] | [] | [] |
1,555 | There are several things that you can do to help protect against these latest Sofacy attacks and others like it. | [
{
"id": 46826,
"label": "threat-actor",
"start_offset": 78,
"end_offset": 84
}
] | [] | [] |
1,556 | With the public awareness of this particular decoy, it is highly likely that the Sofacy group will shift their attacks to spoof emails from a different organization to continue carrying out these attacks. | [
{
"id": 46827,
"label": "threat-actor",
"start_offset": 82,
"end_offset": 94
}
] | [] | [] |
1,557 | Additionally, this attack technique is not exclusive to the Sofacy Group. | [
{
"id": 45056,
"label": "threat-actor",
"start_offset": 61,
"end_offset": 73
}
] | [] | [] |
1,558 | Therefore, these suggested actions can protect not just against these known attacks but others like it. | [] | [] | [] |
1,559 | An unexpected email message with an attachment that says you should “enable content” has a high likelihood of being malicious in some way. | [] | [] | [] |
1,560 | If you get an email like this, you shouldn’t open the attachment and click “enable content”. | [] | [] | [] |
1,561 | Instead, you should verify that the message and the attachment are legitimate by contacting the sender in some way other than replying to the email (because replying to the email may go back to the attackers who will, of course, say it’s legitimate). | [] | [] | [] |
1,562 | Or, just delete the message and report it to your security team. | [] | [] | [] |
