Hackers backdoored Cisco ASA devices via two zero-daysA state-sponsored threat actor has managed to compromise Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances used on government networks across the globe and use two zero-day vulnerabilities to install backdoors on them, Cisco Talos researchers have shared on Wednesday. How to optimize your bug bounty programsIn this Help Net Security interview, Roy Davis, Manager - Vulnerability Management & Bug Bounty at Zoom, discusses the role bug bounty programs play in identifying security vulnerabilities and facilitating collaboration with researchers.

MITRE has been breached by attackers via two zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti's Connect Secure VPN devices. The attackers have also managed to move laterally and compromise the company network's VMware infrastructure, MITRE confirmed late last week.

The MITRE Corporation reported a cyber attack that began in January 2024, involving a nation-state actor exploiting two zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure appliances. The attack compromised MITRE's Networked Experimentation, Research, and Virtualization Environment (NERVE), which is an unclassified network used for research and prototyping.The attackers used these vulnerabilities to bypass multi-factor authentication and execute arbitrary commands. They gained initial access, moved laterally within the network, and compromised the VMware infrastructure using an administrator account. This allowed them to deploy backdoors and web shells for ongoing access and data extraction.

The MITRE Corporation says that a state-backed hacking group breached its systems in January 2024 by chaining two Ivanti VPN zero-days. The incident was discovered after suspicious activity was detected on MITRE's Networked Experimentation, Research, and Virtualization Environment, an unclassified collaborative network used for research and development.

The classic tools and techniques adversaries deploy remain consistent-with some notable exceptions. Detections for malicious email forwarding rules rose by nearly 600%, as adversaries compromised email accounts, redirected sensitive communications to archive folders and other places users are unlikely to look, and attempted to modify payroll or wire transfer destinations, rerouting money into the criminal's account.
