Throughout the analysis of the more than 125,000 images, we defined a number of data points to track across all infections. Below is a listing of the categories that will be referenced throughout the rest of this post and a brief definition of what we looked for during analysis.
Palo Alto Networks began detecting an increase in KeyBase delivery sessions at the beginning of August 2015 and it began escalating quickly thereafter, with thousands of unique samples coming in per month.
Since the KeyBase builder was leaked, more miscreants have gained access to the software and we see this reflected in its proliferation. A side effect, of course, is that once it has entered the easily accessible tool population, you have a wide variety of actors using it, with different intentions and different techniques. This is where target analysis becomes valuable as patterns begin to emerge and you can attempt to discern targeted attacks from opportunistic ones.
Across the set of extracted images, there was an average of 133 images per infection, with the minimum being 1 and the maximum being 5,029; sometimes all that was needed to convey a story was 1 image, while other times hundreds may not be sufficient.
One of the challenges faced -- assuming periods of inactivity for user sleep or PC shutoff, along with the time between screenshots -- is that our sample set of useful data can be quite small, so every screenshot needs to be assessed for minute details. As such, the following sections are based on observations made during the analysis of the more than 125,000 KeyBase screenshots.
We found that infected systems are located primarily in Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa with the largest infection bases found in India, China, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates. The below image represents 342 of the 933 infected systems, identifiable by location, and their respective volume of images per country.
Combining this information and overlaying industry data on top of geographic data, we can see certain countries stand out, possibly implying a concentrated effort to target industries in those locations. More often that not, the screenshots seemed to indicate the infected system was used for company activity versus purely personal usage.
For the manufacturing industry we see a large concentration in South and East Asia, totaling 46 different infections across 45 different companies. These companies are heavily focused on metal materials and products throughout the region. This is not surprising given three of the top five manufacturing economies are based in this geographic area.
The second major industry that showed a large set of KeyBase infections is Transportation and Logistics. Clustered more dominantly in the Middle East and East Asia, this mainly included companies specializing in the shipment of freight for import and export.
Finally, another infection of a logistics company, located in the United Arab Emirates, shows access to their bank accounts and the dollar amounts of transfers that the attackers will likely now have access to.
There were three KeyBase web panels, each had between 5-9 identifiable companies in this industry. Given the nature of the Transportation and Logistics business and making relatively large financial transfers frequently to cover the costs of moving products around the world may have been a motivator to target this industry.
These would appear to be of interest to an attacker, as KeyBase malware will log the credentials needed to access these banking sites while the pictures will expose balances and other account details.
Another group of tracked data points we were interested in was whether it could be determined that a machine was used for personal, non-business, related activities and whether it was a shared resource.
The reason this was of interest is that we saw multiple KeyBase delivery campaigns sent via e-mail phishing lures, some received on what appeared to be personal accounts while others on corporate e-mails. The crossover usage of corporate assets for non-corporate activities is a well-known threat vector, expanding the potential surface area for someone to become infected with malware. Out of the 933 infected systems, there were enough screenshots to determine that at least 216 of them appeared to only be used for corporate work, 75 were used only for personal activities, and 134 of them were used for both corporate and personal activities.
Shared assets, in which we would see multiple different identities logged into social media, e-mails, or applications, accounted for 43 of the 933 infected systems. These shared systems were in much greater quantity in the Middle East and South Asia.
Shared systems, of course, increase the risk to the individuals using them, by exposing multiple sets of credentials through one person unknowingly getting the system compromised. In India specifically, we saw this activity frequently in the services industry, such as travel and tourism companies, or other roles where you move around an office frequently without dedicated assigned systems.
In an effort to avoid showing multiple Facebook accounts and still keep it somewhat interesting, the below set of images were captured from an infected office PC that sent hundreds of screenshots displaying images of their security camera. The middle desk and computer were frequently used by multiple people, which is likely typical for these smaller offices.
The rest of the e-mail subjects were largely about purchase orders, inquiries, and other financial themes. This may explain the high success rates on individuals who fall in sales or informational roles for companies.
While there were 49 unique e-mail subjects identified as being part of KeyBase phishing lures, there were 65 unique names for archives attached to the e-mails that delivered malware in the form of EXE files, Word documents, and Excel documents.
Another tactic, whether purposeful or not, was sending English based e-mails to individuals in countries where English is not the native language. On at least two occasions we saw the recipients translating the e-mail phishing content with Google Translate services.
Targeting hotel receptionists provides a lot of interesting data, from guest information and their home address to travel and payment details; this is all potentially valuable data that may be sold. Below are a couple of screenshots from the various infections to illustrate the type of information exposed through one of these systems.
In the first image, we can see the miscreant taking credentials from the KeyBase password panel and logging into multiple web-based e-mails. Subsequent screenshots show the individual going through the e-mails.
Afterwards, the actor sends an e-mail message with how many people replied to the spam. Another possible scenario is that KeyBase is being used as a way to monitor employees to ensure they are doing their work.
