Scientific research of hardware vulnerabilities often paints captivating espionage scenarios, and a recent study by researchers from universities in the United States and China is no exception. They found a way to steal data from surveillance cameras by analyzing their stray electromagnetic emissions — aptly naming   show more ...  

the attack EM Eye. Reconstructing information from stray emissions Lets imagine a scenario: a secret room in a hotel with restricted access is hosting confidential negotiations, with the identities of the folks in attendance in this room also deemed sensitive information. Theres a surveillance camera installed in the room running round the clock, but hacking the recording computer is impossible. However, theres a room next-door to the secret room accessible to other, regular guests of the hotel. During the meeting, a spy enters this adjacent room with a device which, for the sake of simplicity, well consider to be a slightly modified radio receiver. This receiver gathers data that can be subsequently processed to reconstruct the video from the surveillance camera in the secret room! And the reconstructed video would look something like this: On the left is the original color image from the surveillance camera. On the right are two versions of the image reconstructed from the video cameras unintentional radio emissions. Source How is this even possible? To understand this, lets talk about TEMPEST attacks. This codename, coined by the U.S. National Security Agency, refers to methods of surveillance using unintentional radio emissions, plus countermeasures against those methods. This type of hardware vulnerability was first studied during… World War II. The U.S. Army used an automatic encryption device from the Bell Telephone Company: plaintext input was mixed with a pre-prepared random sequence of characters to produce an encrypted message. The device used electromagnetic relays — essentially large switches. Think of a mechanical light switch: each time you use it, a spark jumps between its contacts. This electrical discharge generates radio waves. Someone at a distance could tune a radio receiver to a specific frequency and know when you turn the light on or off. This is called stray electromagnetic radiation — an inevitable byproduct of electrical devices. In the case of the Bell encryption device, the switching of electromagnetic relays generated such interference that its operation could be detected from a considerable distance. And the nature of the interference permitted reconstruction of the encrypted text. Modern computers arent equipped with huge electromechanical switches, but they do still generate stray emissions. Each bit of data transmitted corresponds to a specific voltage applied to the respective electrical circuit, or its absence. Changing the voltage level generates interference that can be analyzed. Research on TEMPEST has been classified for a long time. The first publicly accessible work was published in 1985. Dutch researcher Wim van Eck showed how stray emissions (also known as side-band electromagnetic emissions) from a computer monitor allow the reconstruction of the image displayed on it from a distance. Images from radio noise The authors of the recent study, however, work with much weaker and more complex electromagnetic interference. Compared to the encryption devices of the 1940s and computer monitors of the 1980s, data transmission speeds have increased significantly, and though theres now more stray radiation, its weaker due to the miniaturization of components. However, the researchers benefit from the fact that video cameras have become ubiquitous, and their design — more or less standardized. A camera has a light-sensitive sensor — the raw data from which is usually transmitted to the graphics subsystem for further processing. It is this process of transmitting raw information that the authors of the research studied. In some other recent experiments, researchers demonstrated that electromagnetic radiation generated by the data transmission from a video camera sensor can be used to determine the presence of a nearby camera — which is valuable information for protecting against unauthorized surveillance. But, as it turned out, much more information can be extracted from the interference. Interference depending on the type of image transmitted by the surveillance camera. Source The researchers had to study thoroughly the methods of data transmission between the video camera sensor and the data processing unit. Manufacturers use different transmission protocols for this. The frequently used MIPI CSI-2 interface transmits data line by line, from left to right — similar to how data is transmitted from a computer to a monitor (which that same Wim van Eck intercepted almost 40 years ago). The illustration above shows the experiments of the authors of the study. A high-contrast target with dark and light stripes running horizontally or vertically is placed in front of the camera. Next, the stray radiation in a certain frequency range (for example, 204 or 255 megahertz) is analyzed. You can see that the intensity of the radio emission correlates with the dark and light areas of the target. Improving image quality by combining data from multiple frames. Source This is essentially the whole attack: capture the stray radio emission from the video camera, analyze it, and reconstruct the unprotected image. However, in practice, its not that simple. The researchers were dealing with a very weak and noisy radio signal. To improve the picture, they used a neural network: by analyzing the sequence of stolen frames, it significantly improves the quality of the intercepted video. The result is a transition from almost nothing is visible to an excellent image, no worse than the original, except for a few artifacts typical of neural networks (and information about the color of objects is lost in any case). EM Eye in practice In numerous experiments with various video cameras, the researchers were able to intercept the video signal at distances of up to five meters. In real conditions, such interception would be complicated by a higher level of noise from neighboring devices. Computer monitors, which operate on a similar principle, spoil the signal from the video camera the most. As a recommendation to camera manufacturers, the authors of the study suggest improving the shielding of devices — even providing the results of an experiment in which shielding the vulnerable module with foil seriously degraded the quality of the intercepted image. Degradation of the intercepted image when shielding the electrical circuits of the video camera. Source Of course, a more effective solution would be to encrypt the data transmitted from the video camera sensor for further processing. Pocket spy But some of the researchers findings seem even more troubling. For example, the exact same interference is generated by the camera in your smartphone. OK, if someone starts following his target around with an antenna and a radio receiver, theyll be noticed. But what if attackers give the potential victim, say, a slightly modified power bank? By definition, such a device is likely to stay close to the smartphone. When the victim decides to shoot a video or even take a photo, the advanced bug could confidently intercept the resulting image. The illustration below shows how serious the damage from such interception can be when, for example, photographing documents using a smartphone. The quality is good enough to read the text. Examples of image interception from different devices: smartphone, dashcam, stationary surveillance camera. Source However, we dont want to exaggerate the danger of such attacks. This research wont lead to attackers going around stealing photos tomorrow. But such research is important: ideally, we should apply the same security measures to hardware vulnerabilities as we do to software ones. Otherwise, a situation may arise where all the software protection measures for these smartphone cameras will be useless against a hardware bug which, though complex, could be assembled entirely from components available at the nearest electronics store.

 Breadcrumbs

For nearly a dozen years, residents of South Carolina have been kept in the dark by state and federal investigators over who was responsible for hacking into the state’s revenue department in 2012 and stealing tax and bank account information for 3.6 million people. The answer may no longer be a mystery:   show more ...  

KrebsOnSecurity found compelling clues suggesting the intrusion was carried out by the same Russian hacking crew that stole of millions of payment card records from big box retailers like Home Depot and Target in the years that followed. Questions about who stole tax and financial data on roughly three quarters of all South Carolina residents came to the fore last week at the confirmation hearing of Mark Keel, who was appointed in 2011 by Gov. Nikki Haley to head the state’s law enforcement division. If approved, this would be Keel’s third six-year term in that role. The Associated Press reports that Keel was careful not to release many details about the breach at his hearing, telling lawmakers he knows who did it but that he wasn’t ready to name anyone. “I think the fact that we didn’t come up with a whole lot of people’s information that got breached is a testament to the work that people have done on this case,” Keel asserted. A ten-year retrospective published in 2022 by The Post and Courier in Columbia, S.C. said investigators determined the breach began on Aug. 13, 2012, after a state IT contractor clicked a malicious link in an email. State officials said they found out about the hack from federal law enforcement on October 10, 2012. KrebsOnSecurity examined posts across dozens of cybercrime forums around that time, and found only one instance of someone selling large volumes of tax data in the year surrounding the breach date. On Oct. 7, 2012 — three days before South Carolina officials say they first learned of the intrusion — a notorious cybercriminal who goes by the handle “Rescator” advertised the sale of “a database of the tax department of one of the states.” “Bank account information, SSN and all other information,” Rescator’s sales thread on the Russian-language crime forum Embargo read. “If you purchase the entire database, I will give you access to it.” A week later, Rescator posted a similar offer on the exclusive Russian forum Mazafaka, saying he was selling information from a U.S. state tax database, without naming the state. Rescator said the data exposed included Social Security Number (SSN), employer, name, address, phone, taxable income, tax refund amount, and bank account number. “There is a lot of information, I am ready to sell the entire database, with access to the database, and in parts,” Rescator told Mazafaka members. “There is also information on corporate taxpayers.” On Oct. 26, 2012, the state announced the breach publicly. State officials said they were working with investigators from the U.S. Secret Service and digital forensics experts from Mandiant, which produced an incident report (PDF) that was later published by South Carolina Dept. of Revenue. KrebsOnSecurity sought comment from the Secret Service, South Carolina prosecutors, and Mr. Keel’s office. This story will be updated if any of them respond. On Nov. 18, 2012, Rescator told fellow denizens of the forum Verified he was selling a database of 65,000 records with bank account information from several smaller, regional financial institutions. Rescator’s sales thread on Verified listed more than a dozen database fields, including account number, name, address, phone, tax ID, date of birth, employer and occupation. Asked to provide more context about the database for sale, Rescator told forum members the database included financial records related to tax filings of a U.S. state. Rescator added that there was a second database of around 80,000 corporations that included social security numbers, names and addresses, but no financial information. The AP says South Carolina paid $12 million to Experian for identity theft protection and credit monitoring for its residents after the breach. “At the time, it was one of the largest breaches in U.S. history but has since been surpassed greatly by hacks to Equifax, Yahoo, Home Depot, Target and PlayStation,” the AP’s Jeffrey Collins wrote. As it happens, Rescator’s criminal hacking crew was directly responsible for the 2013 breach at Target and the 2014 hack of Home Depot. The Target intrusion saw Rescator’s cybercrime shops selling roughly 40 million stolen payment cards, and 56 million cards from Home Depot customers. Who is Rescator? On Dec. 14, 2023, KrebsOnSecurity published the results of a 10-year investigation into the identity of Rescator, a.k.a. Mikhail Borisovich Shefel, a 36-year-old who lives in Moscow and who recently changed his last name to Lenin. Mr. Keel’s assertion that somehow the efforts of South Carolina officials following the breach may have lessened its impact on citizens seems unlikely. The stolen tax and financial data appears to have been sold openly on cybercrime forums by one of the Russian underground’s most aggressive and successful hacking crews. While there are no indications from reviewing forum posts that Rescator ever sold the data, his sales threads came at a time when the incidence of tax refund fraud was skyrocketing. Tax-related identity theft occurs when someone uses a stolen identity and SSN to file a tax return in that person’s name claiming a fraudulent refund. Victims usually first learn of the crime after having their returns rejected because scammers beat them to it. Even those who are not required to file a return can be victims of refund fraud, as can those who are not actually owed a refund from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). According to a 2013 report from the Treasury Inspector General’s office, the IRS issued nearly $4 billion in bogus tax refunds in 2012, and more than $5.8 billion in 2013. The money largely was sent to people who stole SSNs and other information on U.S. citizens, and then filed fraudulent tax returns on those individuals claiming a large refund but at a different address. It remains unclear why Shefel has never been officially implicated in the breaches at Target, Home Depot, or in South Carolina. It may be that Shefel has been indicted, and that those indictments remain sealed for some reason. Perhaps prosecutors were hoping Shefel would decide to leave Russia, at which point it would be easier to apprehend him if he believed no one was looking for him. But all signs are that Shefel is deeply rooted in Russia, and has no plans to leave. In January 2024, authorities in Australia, the United States and the U.K. levied financial sanctions against 33-year-old Russian man Aleksandr Ermakov for allegedly stealing data on 10 million customers of the Australian health insurance giant Medibank. A week after those sanctions were put in place, KrebsOnSecurity published a deep dive on Ermakov, which found that he co-ran a Moscow-based IT security consulting business along with Mikhail Shefel called Shtazi-IT.
