Elastic Security Labs Uncovers FinalDraft Malware Exploiting Outlook Drafts

FinalDraft, a new virus discovered by Elastic Security Labs, uses draft emails from Outlook to perform PowerShell, exfiltrate data, and covert network

FinalDraft, a new virus discovered by Elastic Security Labs, uses draft emails from Outlook to perform PowerShell, exfiltrate data, and covert network tunnels. The malware targets South American and Southeast Asian government agencies as part of the REF7707 campaign. FinalDraft is distributed by PathLoader, which connects via the Microsoft Graph API and uses Outlook drafts to preserve persistence. It obtains an OAuth token from Microsoft, which it then saves in the Windows Registry for future use. In addition to deleting evidence of their actions, attackers can run commands, change files, and retrieve private information. Despite lacking a confirmed threat actor, the campaigns espionage objective raises the possibility of official sponsorship. The malware highlights an increasing cybersecurity danger by affecting both Linux and Windows systems. Read More..

After tensions between Rome and Moscow, the proRussian hacker group Noname05716 attacked about 20 Italian websites, including banks and airports, according to Italys cybersecurity agency. The assault, which was connected to Italian President Sergio Mattarellas analogy between Nazi Germanys expansionism and Russias war on Ukraine, struck the airports of Milans Linate and Malpensa, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Banca Monte dei Paschi. No significant disruptions were noted, though. The attack comes after a similar one that attacked Italian institutional websites in December with the code Noname05716. Affected institutions either refused to comment or stated that there was no discernible impact despite the groups claims of responsibility. Because of Italys position on Russias invasion of Ukraine, the incident underscores the growing cyber risks in the context of geopolitical tensions. Read More..
