Cyberattacks: NITDA cautions against hacking group masquerading as USAID

71

The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has urged Nigerians to beware of a widespread malicious email campaign undertaken by a hacking group, Nobelium.

NITDA warned that the group is masquerading as the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

Mrs Hadiza Umar, NITDA Cooperate Affairs and External Relations’ Head, gave the warning in a statement she issued late on Sunday in Abuja.

Umar said the malicious group, uncovered by Microsoft company, had been discovered to leverage the legitimate mass-mailing service, to masquerade as USAID and distribute malicious Uniform Resource Locator (URLs) to a wide variety of organisations.

According to her, the group targets government organisations, Non-Government Organisations, think tanks, the military, IT service providers, health, technology and telecommunications providers.

“Their antics involve the use of emails claiming to be an alert from USAID about new documents published by former President Donald Trump about election fraud.

“Once users click the link in the email, the URL would direct them to the legitimate Constant Contact Service and then redirect to Nobelium-controlled infrastructure through a URL that delivers a malicious International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) file.

“This, in turn, enables the criminals to execute further malicious objectives, such as lateral movement, data exfiltration and delivery of additional malware,” she said.

The official further advised Nigerians to be wary of such criminals masquerading as USAID and turn on cloud-delivered protection in Microsoft Defender Antivirus or the equivalent to cover rapidly evolving attacker tools and techniques for mitigation.

She further said people should run Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) in block mode to enable antivirus to block malicious artifacts because the EDR in block mode works behind the scenes to remediate malicious artifacts that were detected post-breach.

“Enable network protection to prevent applications or users from accessing malicious domains and other malicious content on the Internet.

“Enable investigation and remediation in full automated mode to allow antivirus take immediate action on alerts to resolve breaches.

“Use device discovery to increase your visibility into your network by finding unmanaged devices on your network and onboarding them

“Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to mitigate compromised credentials and block all office applications from creating child processes,” she advised.

Umar said the mitigations should be applied by users and administrators.

She also said Nigerians could report an incident by contacting NITDA’S Computer Emergency Readiness and Response Team via email support@cerrt.ng or telephone +2348178774580. (NAN)

    オンラインポーカーやオンラインカジノは、リアルマネーをかけてプレイするため、初心者の人にはおすすめできません。 オンラインカジノは時間・場所問わずプレイすることができ、入金もクレジットカードなどで手軽にできることから、ついお金を使いすぎて借金をしてしまったり、止め時がわからずギャンブル依存症に陥ってしまう可能性もあります。 オンラインカジノに勝つためには、判断力と運の他、集中力も関係しています。 勝てない理由を挙げて、負けにくい方法を御説明しましょう! オンラインカジノによってゲームに勝ちやすい、勝ちにくいという違いはありません。但し、スロットについては、還元率が高いバージョンと低いバージョンが存在する事があり、オンラインカジノがどちらを採用しているかによって同じスロットゲームでも還元率に差がある場合があるので、チェックしておいた方が良いでしょう。 オンラインカジノはあらゆるギャンブルの中で、最も還元率が高い賭け事です。オンラインカジノの還元率は95%程度と言われています。 オンラインカジノのゲームは運要素が大きく、どんな攻略法を駆使しても必ず勝てるというわけではありません。ただ、負け続ける方法や理由はあるので、そのポイントを押さえていれば、リスクを押さえてオンラインカジノを楽しめるでしょう。
