From 2018 to 2019, we have observed several threats targeting Japan involving cyber espionage and underground activities. Some of the adversaries and campaigns are revealed in OSINT, however, some are still lurking in shadow. In this talk, we will reveal the TTP's (tactics, techniques and procedures) of espionage threat actors interested in Japanese electronics, chemical and 5G equipment manufacturing companies. One campaign leverages a malware attributed to APT41, a prolific Chinese cyber threat group that carries out state-sponsored espionage activity in parallel with financially motivated operations. Beside the Chinese actors, we have also observed a group which historically focused on the EMEA region shift to showing interest in Japan. In addition, we will also disclose details of underground activity involving a target in the Japanese financial industry.

It can download and then drop, load, or execute other binaries to the system. It is also designed to steal private data from infected machines, and then submit that information to a C&C host via HTTP POST. The compromised data includes stored passwords, login credential information from web browsers, FTP/SSH, email, poker clients, and a variety of cryptocurrency wallets. It is designed to work on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and has a Linux option. [11. 11. ©2019 FireEye | Private & Confidential 11 Top 10 Malware Families.

Coder" since early 2016. The malware injects itself into various processes and installs function hooks to log keystrokes, steal clipboard contents, and extract data from HTTP sessions. The malware can also execute commands from a C&C server. The commands include instructing the malware to download and execute files, start processes, shut down and reboot the system, and steal cookies and local passwords. It also features a persistence method that randomly changes the path, filename, file extension, and the registry key used for persistence.
