Netskope Threat Labs Stats for January 2023

Feb 21 2023

Starting with January 2023, Netskope Threat Labs will publish a monthly summary blog post of the top threats we are tracking on the Netskope Security Cloud platform. The purpose of this post is to provide strategic, actionable intelligence on active threats against enterprise users worldwide.

Summary

  • Attackers continue to attempt to fly under the radar by using cloud apps to deliver malware, with 54% of all malware downloads in January originating from 142 cloud apps.
  • ZIP files are gaining popularity among attackers who use the archive format to try to evade defenses and avoid suspicion. 21% of all malware downloads in January were ZIP files.
  • Trojans continue to represent the majority of malware downloads, used to deliver payloads such as the infostealer AgentTesla and the ransomware Vice Society.

Cloud Malware Delivery

Attackers attempt to fly under the radar by delivering malicious content via popular cloud apps. Abusing cloud apps for malware delivery enables attackers to evade security controls that rely primarily on domain block lists and URL filtering, or that do not inspect cloud traffic. In January 2023, 54% of all HTTP/HTTPS malware downloads originated from popular cloud apps, increasing for the third consecutive month and reaching the highest levels in the past six months.

The increase in cloud malware downloads is driven partially by an increase in the number of distinct cloud apps from which malware are being downloaded. In January 2023, Netskope detected malware downloads from 142 cloud apps.

Attackers enjoy the most success reaching enterprise users when they abuse cloud apps that are already popular in the enterprise. Microsoft OneDrive, the most popular enterprise cloud app, has held the top spot for the most cloud malware downloads for more than six months. The other top apps for malware downloads include free web hosting services (Weebly), cloud storage apps (Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive), collaboration apps (Sharepoint), webmail apps (Google Gmail, Outlook.com), and free software hosting sites (GitHub, SourceForge).

At 78% of cloud malware downloads, the top eight apps accounted for more malware downloads in January than they had anytime in the previous six months. A relative increase in malware downloads from Amazon S3 propelled it into the top five for only the second time in the past six months, while the remaining top apps remained relatively unchanged. The top ten list is a reflection of attacker tactics, user behavior, and company policy.

Top Malware File Types

By file type, Microsoft Windows Portable Executable files (EXE/DLL) accounted for the plurality of malware downloads in January, as they have for at least the past six months. Delivering malware in archive files, particularly ZIP files, has been gradually increasing and hit a six-month high in January at 21%, as attackers attempt to evade detection by hiding malware in ZIP files. PDF files have been exhibiting the opposite trend, gradually decreasing and hitting a six-month low in January. The popularity of other file types remains largely unchanged, as attackers continue to use a wide variety of file types to target their victims.
