Mandiant identified novel operational technology (OT) / industrial control system (ICS)-oriented malware, which we track as COSMICENERGY, uploaded to a public malware scanning utility in December 2021 by a submitter in Russia. The malware is designed to cause electric power disruption by interacting with IEC 60870-5-104 (IEC-104) devices, such as remote terminal units (RTUs), that are commonly leveraged in electric transmission and distribution operations in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
COSMICENERGY is the latest example of specialized OT malware capable of causing cyber physical
A technique is being used in the distribution of multiple families of malware that obfuscates the end destination of a URL by abusing the URL schema. Mandiant tracks this adversary methodology as "URL Schema Obfuscation”. The technique could increase the likelihood of a successful phishing attack, and could cause domain extraction errors in logging or security tooling. If a network defense tool is relying on knowing the server a URL is pointing to (e.g. checking if a domain is on a threat intel feed), it could potentially bypass it and cause gaps in visibility and coverage. Common URL parsing
To support our ongoing mission of helping organizations around the world defend against persistent and sophisticated cyber threats, we’re excited to announce the general availability of Mandiant Managed Defense for CrowdStrike Falcon® Insight XDR™ and SentinelOne Singularity XDR. By partnering with elite technology companies, we're helping organizations maximize their investments. Mutual customers benefit from the strengths of the technologies deployed in their environment along with a shared mission focus that can lead to deep technical integrations.
The Power of Technology + StrategicCyber threat intelligence (CTI) serves a broad purpose: to inform, advise, and empower stakeholders within an organization. Successful CTI functions invariably put stakeholder intelligence requirements at the heart of their mission statement. But, any CTI team can and should adopt a requirements-focused approach.
In our report, A Requirements-Driven Approach to Cyber Threat Intelligence, we outline what it means to be requirements-driven in practice. We offer actionable advice on how intelligence functions can implement and optimize such an approach within their organizations.

In 2022, Mandiant identified attacker activity centered in Microsoft Azure that Mandiant attributed to UNC3944. Mandiant’s investigation revealed that the attacker employed malicious use of the Serial Console on Azure Virtual Machines (VM) to install third-party remote management software within client environments. This method of attack was unique in that it avoided many of the traditional detection methods employed within Azure and provided the attacker with full administrative access to the VM. Unfortunately, cloud resources are often poorly misunderstood, leading to misconfigurations that
