Trusselscorekort
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecard
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards er vurderingsrapporter for forskellige malware-trusler, som er blevet indsamlet og analyseret af vores forskningsteam. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards evaluerer og rangerer trusler ved hjælp af adskillige metrics, herunder virkelige og potentielle risikofaktorer, tendenser, frekvens, udbredelse og persistens. EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards opdateres regelmæssigt baseret på vores forskningsdata og metrics og er nyttige for en bred vifte af computerbrugere, fra slutbrugere, der søger løsninger til at fjerne malware fra deres systemer, til sikkerhedseksperter, der analyserer trusler.
EnigmaSoft Threat Scorecards viser en række nyttige oplysninger, herunder:
Popularity Rank: The ranking of a particular threat in EnigmaSoft’s Threat Database.
Sværhedsgrad: Et objekts fastlagte sværhedsgrad, repræsenteret numerisk, baseret på vores risikomodelleringsproces og forskning, som forklaret i vores trusselsvurderingskriterier .
Inficerede computere: Antallet af bekræftede og formodede tilfælde af en bestemt trussel opdaget på inficerede computere som rapporteret af SpyHunter.

HermeticWiper er en ekstremt destruktiv malware-trussel, designet til at gøre de brudte computere ubrugeligespecifikt. Truslen blev udnyttet mod adskillige organisationer i Ukraine og er sandsynligvis forbundet med den russiske invasion af landet. Ifølge konklusionerne fra flere cybersikkerhedsleverandører er hundredvis af maskiner, der tilhører organisationer fra forskellige industrisektorer - finans, luftfart, forsvar og it-tjenester, allerede blevet kompromitteret. Det samlede antal af berørte computere er sandsynligvis meget højere.
Indholdsfortegnelse
Funktionalitet og angrebsdetaljer
HermeticWiper er i stand til at ødelægge Master Boot Record (MBR) på Windows-pc'er, som er en afgørende komponent, der er ansvarlig for den korrekte indlæsning af operativsystemet. Ved at tørre det blokerer malwaren hele systemet og forhindrer det i at kunne startes. Ifølge sikkerhedsfirmaet SentinelOne involverer teknikken, der anvendes af truslen, at udnytte de legitime drivere til den gratis EaseUs Partition Master-applikation og resulterer i korruption af systemets harddiske. Hvad angår selve truslen, ser den ud til at være underskrevet med et digitalt certifikat, der tilhører en virksomhed ved navn 'Hermetica Digital Ltd.' beliggende på Cypern.
HermeticWiper-angrebet ser ud til at være planlagt i god tid, hvor cyberkriminelle kompromitterede nogle af de målrettede systemer måneder tidligere. På nogle systemer implementerede angriberne også ransomware-trusler sammen med HermeticWiper, men dette træk er højst sandsynligt et afledningsforsøg for at maskere deres sande hensigter.

File Icons
File Icons
This section displays icon resources found within family samples. Malware often replicates icons commonly associated with legitimate software to mislead users into believing the malware is safe.
Digital Signatures
Digital Signatures
This section lists digital signatures that are attached to samples within this family. When analyzing and verifying digital signatures, it is important to confirm that the signature’s root authority is a well-known and trustworthy entity and that the status of the signature is good. Malware is often signed with non-trustworthy “Self Signed” digital signatures (which can be easily created by a malware author with no verification). Malware may also be signed by legitimate signatures that have an invalid status, and by signatures from questionable root authorities with fake or misleading “Signer” names.| Signer | Root | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Hermetica Digital Ltd | DigiCert EV Code Signing CA (SHA2) | Hash Mismatch |
Block Information
Block Information
During analysis, EnigmaSoft breaks file samples into logical blocks for classification and comparison with other samples. Blocks can be used to generate malware detection rules and to group file samples into families based on shared source code, functionality and other distinguishing attributes and characteristics. This section lists a summary of this block data, as well as its classification by EnigmaSoft. A visual representation of the block data is also displayed, where available.| Total Blocks: | 55 |
|---|---|
| Potentially Malicious Blocks: | 45 |
| Whitelisted Blocks: | 10 |

Similar Families
Similar Families
This section lists other families that share similarities with this family, based on EnigmaSoft’s analysis. Many malware families are created from the same malware toolkits and use the same packing and encryption techniques but uniquely extend functionality. Similar families may also share source code, attributes, icons, subcomponents, compromised and/or invalid digital signatures, and network characteristics. Researchers leverage these similarities to rapidly and effectively triage file samples and extend malware detection rules.- HermeticWiper.A
