HOW MICROSOFT COUNTER ATTACKED THE INFRASTRUCTURE USED BY CHINESE MILITARY
HACKERS

As part of an ambitious security effort, Microsoft took control of dozens of
malicious sites allegedly operated by Nickel, a China-based hacking group.
Apparently, these platforms were used to direct attacks against critical
infrastructure in the United States and at least 28 other countries, mainly in
Latin America and Europe.

Tom Burt, Vice President of Customer Security and Trust at Microsoft, said,
“Nickel has focused its efforts on public and private organizations, including
diplomatic entities and foreign ministries in North America, Central America,
South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa.”




The tech giant was able to take down the hackers’ infrastructure after a U.S.
court issued an order stemming from the group’s actions. This order mentions
that malicious websites were to be switched to secure servers, changing
authorized name servers to NS104a.microsoftintemetsafety.net and
NS104b.microsoftintemetsafety.net.

SOURCE: Microsoft

Microsoft’s security teams first detected the malicious behavior in 2016, while
security firms such as Mandiant say Nickel’s existence is set back to 2010. In
addition, for a couple of years the presence of this group was detected in
attacks against European and Latin American countries, mainly operating malware
delivery campaigns for network monitoring and data theft.



Nickel’s operations are funded by Chinese government and use previously
compromised third-party VPN platforms, stolen credentials in phishing campaigns,
and exploits targeting undated Exchange Server and SharePoint servers.

Since the investigation began, 24 criminal cases have been drawn up against
these hackers and five against their sponsors, in addition to the removal of
nearly 10,000 malicious websites and more than 500,000 online platforms
potentially associated with this operation have been blocked.

Microsoft has made considerable efforts in the fight against cybercrime; A few
months ago, the company seized the computing infrastructure of the Necurs
botnet, used by threat actors for the distribution of malware payloads, which
put millions of devices around the world at risk. According to Microsoft, at its
highest point of activity Necurs was able to reach more than 40 million targets
in less than two months.

To learn more about information security risks, malware variants,
vulnerabilities and information technologies, feel free to access the
International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS) websites.
