Lotus Blossom espionage group targets multiple industries with different versions of Sagerunex and hacking tools

Cisco Talos uncovered multiple cyber espionage campaigns attributed to the Lotus Blossom group, targeting government, manufacturing, telecommunications, and media sectors. The operations utilize various versions of the Sagerunex backdoor and other hacking tools. Lotus Blossom has been active since 2012 and continues to evolve its tactics. New Sagerunex variants use third-party cloud services like Dropbox, Twitter, and Zimbra for command and control, enhancing evasion capabilities. The group employs a multi-stage attack chain for long-term persistence, often remaining undetected for months. Victims include organizations in the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The analysis reveals Lotus Blossom's sophisticated techniques, including the use of VMProtect for code obfuscation and strategic placement of tools in public folders for evasion.

Human rights and environmental violations throughout Australian supply chains ?
Creating a mandatory human rights due diligence regime for Australian companies

"We analysed the human rights commitments of 25 of the top companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), including some of our largest banks and mining companies."

"We found Australian companies have a long way to go in “knowing and showing” a commitment to respect human rights, suggesting an urgent need for reform...It is clear from our research that many large Australian companies are not operating in line with international standards."

"One response could be for Australia to follow the European Union’s lead and create a mandatory human rights due diligence regime. Australian companies must take proactive steps to comply with international standards. Our findings suggest the government should enact a stronger and broader mandatory human rights due diligence law covering all human rights. "

CL-STA-0048: An Espionage Operation Against High-Value Targets in South Asia

A sophisticated cyberespionage campaign targeting high-value entities in South Asia, particularly a telecommunications organization, has been identified. The threat actor, tracked as CL-STA-0048, employed rare techniques like 'Hex Staging' for payload delivery and DNS-based data exfiltration. The operation, likely originating from China, aimed to obtain personal information of government employees and sensitive organizational data. The attackers systematically exploited vulnerabilities in IIS, Apache Tomcat, and MSSQL services. They utilized various tools including PlugX backdoor, Cobalt Strike, and privilege escalation tools. The campaign's sophistication and objectives suggest a nation-state advanced persistent threat operation.
