TrickBot\u2019s margin for success just got a lot smaller.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon’s offensive\u00a0hacking arm, Cyber Command, has carried out an operation to hinder the ability of TrickBot, one of the world’s largest botnets, from attacking American targets, according to one U.S. government official who spoke to CyberScoop on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter. Microsoft also has sought to disrupt\u00a0the TrickBot botnet, according to Tom Burt, the company’s corporate vice president of customer security and trust.<\/p>\n

The two operations represented distinct efforts to interrupt a pernicious\u00a0threat\u00a0that U.S. government officials say could be used to launch ransomware attacks against\u00a0IT systems that support the voting process ahead of Election Day. Such an attack against voter registration systems, for instance, could result in confusion, delays or other uncertainties when Americans cast their ballots.<\/p>\n

As a result of the Microsoft operation, the people behind the TrickBot botnet \u2014 a collection of compromised zombie computers controlled by Russian-speaking attackers \u2014\u00a0will be limited in their ability to infect new victims and activate ransomware<\/a> they may have been preparing\u00a0to deploy against targets, according to Microsoft, which said Monday it had coordinated\u00a0a takedown with Slovakia-based security firm ESET, the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, NTT, Lumen\u2019s Black Lotus Labs, and Symantec.<\/p>\n

Microsoft tracked the technical infrastructure that TrickBot used to communicate with victim computers,\u00a0gathered information about how the machines communicated among themselves, and learned the specific IP addresses of command-and-control servers used to control the botnet, Microsoft’s Tom Burt explained in an announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The takedown took place after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted Microsoft<\/a>\u2019s request for a court\u00a0order to interrupt and halt TrickBot\u2019s operations, including disabling those IP addresses. Microsoft also\u00a0blocked the operators from the content stored on the command-and-control servers\u00a0and blocked efforts to purchase additional servers, Burt said in the announcement. The company previously used court orders to take action against malicious infrastructure from accused hackers in North Korea<\/a>, Russia<\/a> and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The Cyber Command operation, first reported by The Washington Post<\/a>,\u00a0was intended to temporarily disrupt the botnet, with a recognition that the operators behind TrickBot will likely regroup\u00a0and try to\u00a0restore their\u00a0capability.\u00a0To date, TrickBot has infected over one million devices since 2016, when it was first detected, according to Microsoft.<\/p>\n

KrebsOnSecurity first reported<\/a> on the apparent disruption of the\u00a0botnet.<\/p>\n

The moves came\u00a0weeks before the 2020 U.S. presidential election, which\u00a0Cyber Command and the U.S. National Security Agency<\/a>\u00a0have\u00a0been working to protect against ransomware threats, as part of its broader\u00a0“persistent engagement<\/a>” strategy,\u00a0an effort to deter adversaries by working to frequently impose costs on them.<\/p>\n

Department of Homeland Security officials have long identified ransomware as a threat to IT networks that support elections \u2014 and have raised the issue with other federal agencies, including Cyber Command. In this case, DHS officials\u00a0were in touch with Cyber Command on the threat that TrickBot has posed to state and local IT networks, according to two people familiar with the exchange.\u00a0(Both\u00a0sources spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.)<\/p>\n

DHS officials also advised\u00a0Cyber Command on\u00a0when to carry out the TrickBot operation to increase its impact, one of the people said.<\/p>\n

DHS\u2019s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency this month\u00a0issued a public\u00a0advisory<\/a>\u00a0on the resurgence of Emotet, a credential-stealing malware, calling it \u201cone of the most prevalent ongoing threats\u201d against state and local governments.\u00a0Hackers have previously used Emotet to install TrickBot.<\/p>\n

The dual efforts to dismantle\u00a0TrickBot came months after the hackers behind TrickBot created\u00a0a new\u00a0software tool to enhance their ability to\u00a0steal victims\u2019 banking information undetected<\/a>, according to security researchers. TrickBot operates as a \u201cmalware-as-a-service,\u201d in which its operators sell access to its infections to different\u00a0customers.<\/p>\n

Cyber Command and the Department of Homeland Security did not return multiple requests for comment.\u00a0The FBI, which has tracked TrickBot closely and warned private sector organizations about the threat, declined to comment.<\/p>\n

A reprieve from\u00a0TrickBot ransomware<\/h3>\n

Although elections were the focus of the Cyber Command operation, the disruption efforts from the U.S. government and the private sector\u00a0could also help\u00a0mitigate\u00a0ransomware threats that\u00a0hospitals<\/a> and health sector entities around the world have encountered during the coronavirus pandemic. TrickBot is one of the largest ransomware facilitation services on the internet, researchers have noted<\/a>, with links to malware including Ryuk. Ryuk has been linked to attacks against targets such as Universal Health Services<\/a>, an American health care provider.<\/p>\n

The TrickBot disruption\u00a0could also benefit other entities, including those in the financial, defense, government, and academic industries. Attackers have also used Ryuk against\u00a0a contractor working<\/a> for the U.S. Department of Defense, the North Carolina city of Durham, state courts, businesses, universities, and nursing homes.<\/p>\n

While specific information about the\u00a0Cyber Command operation remains murky, details from the Microsoft takedown hint at the difficulty TrickBot may face as its operators aim to restore their capabilities.\u00a0(Microsoft and ESET\u00a0said\u00a0their effort was separate from that of the U.S. government.)<\/p>\n

However, Liviu Arsene, a global cybersecurity researcher for Romania-based security firm BitDefender, which\u00a0has been tracking TrickBot, warned that the disruption could pave the way for other\u00a0crime\u00a0to resurge in TrickBot\u2019s place.<\/p>\n

“Ransomware is a multi-billion dollar business and if there\u2019s anything we\u2019ve learned from how ransomware has evolved over the past couple of years, it\u2019s that ransomware is resilient and capable of quickly adapting to change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
