Here’s the latest from our TRU Team…
Tax season is a critical time for organizations across all sectors, as the rush of tax document preparation and submission presents an opportunity for finance-themed cybersecurity threats. During this period, threat actors are particularly active, seeking to exploit the heightened urgency and volume of tax-related communications through various phishing strategies.
In early February 2024, the eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) uncovered a phishing campaign leveraging tax themes within the Business Services sector. This article explores two instances of such threats, each deploying JAVA-based RAT malware from distinct families: Ratty RAT and Sorillus RAT.
In the first observed phishing attempt, threat actors employed HTML smuggling (Figure 1).
The HTML attachment contains a Base64-encoded blob that decodes to random text and the embedded URL hosting the malicious ZIP archive named “Tax_documents_PDF.zip” (MD5: a988632f9a684e4fccb7a905eba02f43) (Figure 2). The ZIP archive contains the JAR file, which we have determined to be Sorillus RAT (Remote Access Trojan).
You can read more about Sorillus RAT in our previous blogs here
and here.
In the second case we analyzed, although the phishing email from the incident was not retrieved, our investigation uncovered a JAR payload within the ZIP file named “2023-FILES-MY1040-w2-IRS-letter-1099r_PDF.zip” (MD5 checksum: 00b986c09855eedfe4deb72d0d2e048d).
This payload was identified as Ratty RAT, an open-source Java-based RAT developed by an individual known by the pseudonym “Sogomn”.
Upon loading the RAT into the decompiler, we notice that the code is heavily obfuscated (Figure 4).
The method signature public static void startClient(String address, int port) {} is responsible for starting the RAT client with the address and port (Figure 5).
Part of the Ratty configuration can be observed in Figure 6, the threat actor can configure the chat and keylogger options.
The chat feature supports both text and voice communication with the infected machine (Figure 7).
Ratty also has the capability for screen capture (Figures 8-9). The rendering capabilities are used to capture the screen contents.
The snippet in Figure 10 is responsible for downloading additional payloads from the internet using the user-agent “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0”.
Apart from the mentioned features, Ratty is also capable of achieving and removing persistence via Startup and Registry Run Keys on the host, hiding the malicious file with “attrib +H %s”, restarting, and shutting down the host (Figure 11).
Our 24/7 SOC Cyber Analysts investigated the suspicious activities, notified the clients and isolated the affected devices.
