CostaRicto - Cyber Threat Intelligence

These indicators were reported, collected, and generated during the VulDB CTI analysis of the campaign known as CostaRicto. The activity monitoring correlates data from social media, forums, chat rooms, and darknet markets. It helps to determine associated actors, specific activities, expected intentions, emerging research, and ongoing attacks. Our unique predictive model uses big data to forecast activities and their characteristics.

Live data and more analysis capabilities are available at https://vuldb.com/?actor

Countries

These countries are directly (e.g. origin of attacks) or indirectly (e.g. access by proxy) associated with CostaRicto:

Actors

These actors are associated with CostaRicto or other actors linked to the campaign.

ID	Actor	Confidence
1	Hackers-for-Hire	High

IOC - Indicator of Compromise

These indicators of compromise (IOC) indicate associated network resources which are known to be part of research and attack activities of CostaRicto.

ID	IP address	Hostname	Actor	Confidence
1	45.89.175.206	-	Hackers-for-Hire	High
2	45.138.172.54	-	Hackers-for-Hire	High
3	144.217.53.146	ip146.ip-144-217-53.net	Hackers-for-Hire	High
4	...	...	...	...

There are 3 more IOC items available. Please use our online service to access the data.

TTP - Tactics, Techniques, Procedures

Tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) summarize the suspected MITRE ATT&CK techniques used within CostaRicto. This data is unique as it uses our predictive model for actor profiling.

ID	Technique	Weakness	Description	Confidence
1	T1059.007	CWE-79, CWE-80	Cross Site Scripting	High
2	T1068	CWE-264	Execution with Unnecessary Privileges	High
3	T1110.001	CWE-307, CWE-798	Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts	High

IOA - Indicator of Attack

These indicators of attack (IOA) list the potential fragments used for technical activities like reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and exfiltration during CostaRicto. This data is unique as it uses our predictive model for actor profiling.

ID	Type	Indicator	Confidence
1	File	`/EXCU_SHELL`	Medium
2	File	`category.asp`	Medium
3	File	`deliver.asp`	Medium
4	...	...	...

There are 9 more IOA items available (file, library, argument, input value, pattern, network port). Please use our online service to access the data.
