A Russia-aligned hacking group, known as RomCom (also identified as Storm-0978, Tropical Scorpius, or UNC2596), has successfully exploited two zero-day vulnerabilities—one in Mozilla Firefox and another in Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler. These vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2024-9680 and CVE-2024-49039, were show more ...
chained together to allow the group to execute arbitrary code and install malicious backdoors on affected systems. The first vulnerability, CVE-2024-9680, is a critical use-after-free bug discovered in Firefox’s animation timeline feature. This flaw, which has a CVSS score of 9.8, affects several versions of Mozilla browsers, including Firefox, Thunderbird, and Tor Browser. The flaw allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the restricted context of the browser, which can lead to the installation of malware. Mozilla swiftly patched this vulnerability on October 9, 2024, addressing the issue for affected browsers. Further analysis revealed a second, previously unknown vulnerability in Windows, assigned CVE-2024-49039. This privilege escalation vulnerability in the Windows Task Scheduler received a CVSS score of 8.8. When combined with the Firefox vulnerability, this flaw allows attackers to execute code in the context of the logged-in user. This means that, even without any interaction from the user, malicious code can be run, giving threat actors control over the affected system. Microsoft released a patch for CVE-2024-49039 on November 12, 2024. RomCom Threat Actor Uses Sophisticated Exploit Chain RomCom, a threat actor with links to Russia, has been previously observed conducting both cyber espionage and cybercrime activities. This latest attack demonstrates the group’s advanced capabilities and its shift toward more sophisticated, stealthy tactics. By chaining these two vulnerabilities together, RomCom was able to exploit the flaws without requiring any user interaction, which increases the chances of a successful attack. The attack begins when victims are lured to a fake website, which then redirects them to a server hosting the exploit. Once the victim’s vulnerable browser accesses the exploit, shellcode is executed to drop the backdoor onto the system. This backdoor allows the attackers to execute commands and download additional malicious modules, providing the group with persistent access to the compromised machine. The lack of user interaction needed for this attack highlights its sophistication and the threat actor's intent to avoid detection. This type of attack, involving chained zero-day vulnerabilities, is a clear indication of RomCom’s ability to develop complex exploit chains for highly targeted operations. Widespread Impact and Affected Regions The campaign targeting Firefox and Windows vulnerabilities appears to be widespread, with potential victims across Europe and North America. From October 10, 2024, to November 4, 2024, numerous users who visited compromised websites hosting the exploit were located primarily in these regions. While the exact method of how victims are initially directed to the fake website remains unclear, the large-scale nature of the attack suggests a well-organized effort by RomCom. In 2024, the same threat actor has been linked to cyber espionage activities targeting governmental entities, the defense and energy sectors in Ukraine, the pharmaceutical and insurance industries in the U.S., and the legal sector in Germany. These attacks are part of a broader strategy by the group, which now combines cybercrime with more traditional espionage objectives. Satnam Narang, Senior Staff Research Engineer, Tenable, shared insights into the exploitation. “With the adoption of sandbox technology in modern browsers, threat actors need to do more than just exploit a browser vulnerability alone. By combining a browser-based exploit along with a privilege escalation flaw, the RomCom threat actor was able to bypass the Firefox sandbox”, stated Narang. The RomCom group (Storm-0978) exploited a chain of vulnerabilities including two zero-day targeting popular both Firefox and Windows users. "This exploit chain highlights the sheer determination of threat actors and the challenges of breaching browser defenses”, denoted Satnam. Exploit Details and the Importance of Patching The RomCom campaign exemplifies the dangers of unpatched vulnerabilities in widely used software. While Mozilla acted swiftly to patch the Firefox flaw, Microsoft’s patch for the Windows Task Scheduler vulnerability came later in November, leaving systems exposed for over a month. This delay in patching highlights the critical importance of timely security updates and the risks associated with zero-day vulnerabilities. CVE-2024-9680, the Firefox vulnerability, was assigned a CVE on October 9, 2024, just one day after it was discovered. Mozilla’s response was notably quick, with a fix rolled out for affected browsers within two days. On the other hand, CVE-2024-49039, the Windows vulnerability, was discovered shortly thereafter, and a fix wasn’t released until November 12, 2024.
Breaches of major U.S. telecom networks by the China-linked Salt Typhoon group have received widespread media attention, but a second threat actor has also been targeting telecom service providers in recent months, and claims to possess the call logs of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. show more ...
Cyble dark web researchers have been tracking the activities of a threat actor (TA) known as “kiberphant0m” since they emerged on English- and Russian-speaking cybercrime forums earlier this year. Since late August, kiberphant0m has been selling data and access allegedly obtained from Verizon and AT&T – in addition to “spy schema” allegedly belonging to the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) that the TA claims came from the massive Snowflake data breach earlier this year. We’ll look at kiberphant0m’s activities, credibility and possible connections, in addition to the state of telecom network security that got us to this point. kiberphant0m’s Background and Ties kiberphant0m first appeared on the English-language Breach Forums in January 2024. After a few replies to other threads in March, the TA first appeared to begin selling data in April, starting with a Chinese crypto casino database. A Telegram channel began operating around the same time. Other activities have included selling: Access to a Ukraine government research server Access to a defense contractor A 175TB application breach Root access to a Chinese server with 95 domains, including some critical infrastructure sectors UK bank server access Indian and Asian telecom data and access Access to a European biomedical company Access to a mobile social media app SSH bot and server access Linux DDoS botnet source code More recently, kiberphant0m has claimed a connection to UNC5537, the financially motivated threat group behind the Snowflake breach. Some posts have included the hashtag #FREEWAIFU, a reference to an alias of Alexander "Connor" Moucka, who was recently arrested and charged in the Snowflake breach by Canadian officials. Threat intelligence researchers believe that kiberphant0m is more than a broker, having demonstrated proficiency in technical matters. The claimed connection to UNC5537 appeared more recently and needs additional indicators to make the association certain. The FREEWAIFU campaign may be a cover masking other connections. The timing of telecom network breaches close in time to the China-linked campaign is also of interest. Krebs on Security reported yesterday that kiberphant0m may be “a U.S. Army soldier who is or was recently stationed in South Korea,” with activity going back to 2022 under other aliases. There has been some degree of confidence that kiberphant0m is reliable and has a credible history of claims, and their Breach Forums reputation score is positive with no neutral or negative feedback. Telecom Breach Claims, Including Trump and Harris Logs On Nov. 5-6, kiberphant0m created four threads on Breach Forums – three related to Verizon and AT&T, and the NSA post. The Trump and Harris call logs included a sample of Harris’ calls from 2022 and urged AT&T (ATNT) to contact them (image below). Another post offered Verizon Wireless PTT (push-to-talk) logs, including an SQL database, server logs and credentials, possibly obtained from a third-party service provider. A third post offered Verizon Wireless SIM swapping services, and the fourth appears to be a Snowflake technical database schema allegedly belonging to the NSA (image below). Those recent breaches don’t appear to include extremely sensitive information, but are nonetheless concerning, particularly given the lax state of telecom network security. Lax Telecom Network Security As Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark R. Warner (D-Virginia) told the Washington Post last week, large U.S. telecom networks are “a hodgepodge of old networks ... combinations of a whole series of acquisitions, and you have equipment out there that’s so old it’s unpatchable.” Presumably much of that is end-of-life equipment like routers and switches. Warner told the Post that the networks remain compromised, and that fixing them could involve physically replacing “literally thousands and thousands and thousands of pieces of equipment across the country.” Top national security officials met with telecom industry executives late last week to discuss a cooperative solution to the problem.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a critical enabler across sectors, reshaping industries from healthcare to transportation. However, with its transformative potential comes a spectrum of safety and security concerns, particularly for critical infrastructure. Recognizing this, the Cybersecurity and show more ...
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is championing a "Secure by Design" approach to AI-based software. At the core of this effort is the integration of AI red teaming—a third-party evaluation process—into the broader framework of Testing, Evaluation, Verification, and Validation (TEVV). By aligning AI evaluations with established software TEVV practices, stakeholders can harness decades of lessons from traditional software security while tailoring them to AI's unique challenges. This initiative underlines the importance of rigorous safety and security testing, helping mitigate risks of physical attacks, cyberattacks, and critical failures in AI systems. Why AI Red Teaming Matters AI red teaming is the systematic testing of AI systems to identify vulnerabilities and assess their robustness. By simulating attacks or failure scenarios, this process reveals weaknesses that could be exploited, enabling developers to address these gaps before deployment. CISA emphasizes that AI red teaming is not a standalone activity but a subset of the broader AI TEVV framework. This framework ensures that AI systems are rigorously tested for reliability, safety, and security, aligning them with the requirements of critical infrastructure. Programs like NIST’s Assessing Risks and Impacts of AI (ARIA) and the GenAI Challenge have already laid the groundwork for AI TEVV by creating tools and methodologies that assess AI risks comprehensively. CISA builds on this foundation by advocating for AI TEVV to operate as a sub-component of traditional software TEVV. AI and Software: A Shared Foundation in TEVV A common misconception is that AI evaluations require a completely novel approach, distinct from traditional software testing frameworks. CISA, however, argues that this is a strategic and operational fallacy. AI systems, while unique in certain aspects, are fundamentally software systems and share many of the same challenges, such as safety risks, reliability concerns, and probabilistic behavior. 1. Safety Risks Are Not New Software safety risks are not unique to AI. Decades ago, incidents like the Therac-25 radiation therapy device failure demonstrated how software flaws could lead to catastrophic outcomes. These failures prompted updates to safety-critical software evaluation processes, a precedent that now informs AI safety assessments. Similarly, AI systems integrated into critical infrastructure—like transportation or medical devices—must be evaluated for safety risks. For example, an AI-powered braking system in vehicles must account for a range of external conditions, such as slippery roads or unexpected obstacles, much like traditional software evaluations have done for decades. 2. Validity and Reliability Testing Ensuring that AI systems are valid (performing as intended) and reliable (functioning consistently across scenarios) is a shared requirement with traditional software. Robustness testing for AI systems mirrors the approaches used for software in fields like aviation and healthcare, where unexpected inputs or conditions can significantly impact outcomes. 3. Probabilistic Nature of Systems Both AI and traditional software systems exhibit probabilistic behavior. For instance, slight variations in inputs can lead to significant output changes, a trait seen in AI systems trained with vast datasets. However, traditional software is no stranger to such variability. Vulnerabilities like race conditions and cryptographic randomness are long-standing issues in software development. By leveraging existing TEVV methodologies, AI evaluations can address these challenges effectively. CISA's Multi-Faceted Role in AI Security CISA plays a pivotal role in enhancing AI security evaluations by working across three key areas: Pre-Deployment Testing CISA collaborates with industry, academia, and government entities to advance AI red teaming. As a founding member of the Testing Risks of AI for National Security (TRAINS) Taskforce, CISA is actively involved in developing AI evaluation benchmarks and methodologies that integrate cybersecurity considerations. Post-Deployment Testing Beyond pre-deployment, CISA supports technical testing for AI systems already in use. This includes penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and configuration assessments to ensure robust security in operational environments. Standards Development and Operational Guidance Partnering with NIST, CISA contributes operational expertise to the development of AI security testing standards. These standards are integrated into CISA’s broader security evaluation services, such as Cyber Hygiene and Risk and Vulnerability Assessments, ensuring that AI systems meet high cybersecurity benchmarks. Streamlining AI and Software Evaluations CISA’s approach to treating AI TEVV as a subset of software TEVV offers significant benefits: Efficiency: By leveraging existing TEVV frameworks, stakeholders can avoid duplicative testing processes, saving time and resources. Consistency: Applying proven methodologies ensures that AI systems meet the same rigorous standards as traditional software. Scalability: Unified frameworks enable the development of tools and benchmarks that can be used across diverse AI applications, enhancing the robustness of evaluations. This streamlined approach also encourages innovation at the tactical level. Rather than reinventing the wheel, developers can focus on creating novel tools and methodologies that address AI-specific challenges while building on the solid foundation of software TEVV. Conclusion: Building on Decades of Expertise As AI continues to integrate into critical infrastructure, ensuring its safety and security is paramount. CISA’s Secure by Design initiative highlights the importance of viewing AI evaluations through the lens of traditional software testing frameworks. By aligning AI TEVV with established software TEVV methodologies, stakeholders can build on decades of expertise, mitigating risks effectively and ensuring that AI systems are fit for purpose. With organizations like CISA and NIST leading the charge, the future of AI security is poised to benefit from a balanced blend of innovation and proven practices.
Two men have been arrested for allegedly stealing data from and extorting dozens of companies that used the cloud data storage company Snowflake, but a third suspect — a prolific hacker known as Kiberphant0m — remains at large and continues to publicly extort victims. However, this person’s identity show more ...
may not remain a secret for long: A careful review of Kiberphant0m’s daily chats across multiple cybercrime personas suggests they are a U.S. Army soldier who is or was recently stationed in South Korea. Kiberphant0m’s identities on cybercrime forums and on Telegram and Discord chat channels have been selling data stolen from customers of the cloud data storage company Snowflake. At the end of 2023, malicious hackers discovered that many companies had uploaded huge volumes of sensitive customer data to Snowflake accounts that were protected with nothing more than a username and password (no multi-factor authentication required). After scouring darknet markets for stolen Snowflake account credentials, the hackers began raiding the data storage repositories for some of the world’s largest corporations. Among those was AT&T, which disclosed in July that cybercriminals had stolen personal information, phone and text message records for roughly 110 million people. Wired.com reported in July that AT&T paid a hacker $370,000 to delete stolen phone records. On October 30, Canadian authorities arrested Alexander Moucka, a.k.a. Connor Riley Moucka of Kitchener, Ontario, on a provisional arrest warrant from the United States, which has since indicted him on 20 criminal counts connected to the Snowflake breaches. Another suspect in the Snowflake hacks, John Erin Binns, is an American who is currently incarcerated in Turkey. A surveillance photo of Connor Riley Moucka, a.k.a. “Judische” and “Waifu,” dated Oct 21, 2024, 9 days before Moucka’s arrest. This image was included in an affidavit filed by an investigator with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Investigators say Moucka, who went by the handles Judische and Waifu, had tasked Kiberphant0m with selling data stolen from Snowflake customers who refused to pay a ransom to have their information deleted. Immediately after news broke of Moucka’s arrest, Kiberphant0m was clearly furious, and posted on the hacker community BreachForums what they claimed were the AT&T call logs for President-elect Donald J. Trump and for Vice President Kamala Harris. “In the event you do not reach out to us @ATNT all presidential government call logs will be leaked,” Kiberphant0m threatened, signing his post with multiple “#FREEWAIFU” tags. “You don’t think we don’t have plans in the event of an arrest? Think again.” On the same day, Kiberphant0m posted what they claimed was the “data schema” from the U.S. National Security Agency. “This was obtained from the ATNT Snowflake hack which is why ATNT paid an extortion,” Kiberphant0m wrote in a thread on BreachForums. “Why would ATNT pay Waifu for the data when they wouldn’t even pay an extortion for over 20M+ SSNs?” Kiberphant0m posting what he claimed was a “data schema” stolen from the NSA via AT&T. Also on Nov. 5, Kiberphant0m offered call logs stolen from Verizon’s push-to-talk (PTT) customers — mainly U.S. government agencies and emergency first responders. On Nov. 9, Kiberphant0m posted a sales thread on BreachForums offering a “SIM-swapping” service targeting Verizon PTT customers. In a SIM-swap, fraudsters use credentials that are phished or stolen from mobile phone company employees to divert a target’s phone calls and text messages to a device they control. MEET ‘BUTTHOLIO’ Kiberphant0m joined BreachForums in January 2024, but their public utterances on Discord and Telegram channels date back to at least early 2022. On their first post to BreachForums, Kiberphant0m said they could be reached at the Telegram handle @cyb3rph4nt0m. A review of @cyb3rph4nt0m shows this user has posted more than 4,200 messages since January 2024. Many of these messages were attempts to recruit people who could be hired to deploy a piece of malware that enslaved host machines in an Internet of Things (IoT) botnet. On BreachForums, Kiberphant0m has sold the source code to “Shi-Bot,” a custom Linux DDoS botnet based on the Mirai malware. Kiberphant0m had few sales threads on BreachForums prior to the Snowflake attacks becoming public in May, and many of those involved databases stolen from companies in South Korea. On June 5, 2024, a Telegram user by the name “Buttholio” joined the fraud-focused Telegram channel “Comgirl” and claimed to be Kiberphant0m. Buttholio made the claim after being taunted as a nobody by another denizen of Comgirl, referring to their @cyb3rph4nt0m account on Telegram and the Kiberphant0m user on cybercrime forums. “Type ‘kiberphant0m’ on google with the quotes,” Buttholio told another user. “I’ll wait. Go ahead. Over 50 articles. 15+ telecoms breached. I got the IMSI number to every single person that’s ever registered in Verizon, Tmobile, ATNT and Verifone.” On Sept. 17, 2023, Buttholio posted in a Discord chat room dedicated to players of the video game Escape from Tarkov. “Come to Korea, servers there is pretty much no extract camper or cheater,” Buttholio advised. In another message that same day in the gaming Discord, Buttholio told others they bought the game in the United States, but that they were playing it in Asia. “USA is where the game was purchased from, server location is actual in game servers u play on. I am a u.s. soldier so i bought it in the states but got on rotation so i have to use asian servers,” they shared. ‘REVERSESHELL’ The account @Kiberphant0m was assigned the Telegram ID number 6953392511. A review of this ID at the cyber intelligence platform Flashpoint shows that on January 4, 2024 Kibertphant0m posted to the Telegram channel “Dstat,” which is populated by cybercriminals involved in launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and selling DDoS-for-hire services [Full disclosure: Flashpoint is currently an advertiser on this website]. Immediately after Kiberphant0m logged on to the Dstat channel, another user wrote “hi buttholio,” to which Kiberphant0m replied with an affirmative greeting “wsg,” or “what’s good.” On Nov. 1, Dstat’s website dstat[.]cc was seized as part of “Operation PowerOFF,” an international law enforcement action against DDoS services. Flashpoint’s data shows that @kiberphant0m told a fellow member of Dstat on April 10, 2024 that their alternate Telegram username was “@reverseshell,” and did the same two weeks later in the Telegram chat The Jacuzzi. The Telegram ID for this account is 5408575119. Way back on Nov. 15, 2022, @reverseshell told a fellow member of a Telegram channel called Cecilio Chat that they were a soldier in the U.S. Army. This user also shared the following image of someone pictured waist-down in military fatigues, with a camouflaged backpack at their feet: Kiberphant0m’s apparent alias ReverseShell posted this image on a Telegram channel Cecilio Chat, on Nov. 15, 2022. Image: Flashpoint. In September 2022, Reverseshell was embroiled in an argument with another member who had threatened to launch a DDoS attack against Reverseshell’s Internet address. After the promised attack materialized, Reverseshell responded, “Yall just hit military base contracted wifi.” In a chat from October 2022, Reverseshell was bragging about the speed of the servers they were using, and in reply to another member’s question said that they were accessing the Internet via South Korea Telecom. Telegram chat logs archived by Flashpoint show that on Aug. 23, 2022, Reverseshell bragged they’d been using automated tools to find valid logins for Internet servers that they resold to others. “I’ve hit US gov servers with default creds,” Reverseshell wrote, referring to systems with easy-to-guess usernames and/or passwords. “Telecom control servers, machinery shops, Russian ISP servers, etc. I sold a few big companies for like $2-3k a piece. You can sell the access when you get a big SSH into corporation.” On July 29, 2023, Reverseshell posted a screenshot of a login page for a major U.S. defense contractor, claiming they had an aerospace company’s credentials to sell. PROMAN AND VARS_SECC Flashpoint finds the Telegram ID 5408575119 has used several aliases since 2022, including Reverseshell and Proman557. A search on the username Proman557 at the cyber intelligence platform Intel 471 shows that a hacker by the name “Proman554” registered on Hackforums in September 2022, and in messages to other users Proman554 said they can be reached at the Telegram account Buttholio. Intel 471 also finds the Proman557 moniker is one of many used by a person on the Russian-language hacking forum Exploit in 2022 who sold a variety of Linux-based botnet malware. Proman557 was eventually banned — allegedly for scamming a fellow member out of $350 — and the Exploit moderator warned forum users that Proman557 had previously registered under several other nicknames, including an account called “Vars_Secc.” Vars_Secc’s thousands of comments on Telegram over two years show this user divided their time between online gaming, maintaining a DDoS botnet, and promoting the sale or renting of their botnets to other users. “I use ddos for many things not just to be a skid,” Vars_Secc pronounced. “Why do you think I haven’t sold my net?” They then proceeded to list the most useful qualities of their botnet: -I use it to hit off servers that ban me or piss me off -I used to ddos certain games to get my items back since the data reverts to when u joined -I use it for server side desync RCE vulnerabilities -I use it to sometimes ransom -I use it when bored as a source of entertainment Flashpoint shows that in June 2023, Vars_Secc responded to taunting from a fellow member in the Telegram channel SecHub who had threatened to reveal their personal details to the federal government for a reward. “Man I’ve been doing this shit for 4 years,” Vars_Secc replied nonchalantly. “I highly doubt the government is going to pay millions of dollars for data on some random dude operating a pointless ddos botnet and finding a few vulnerabilities here and there.” For several months in 2023, Vars_Secc also was an active member of the Russian-language crime forum XSS, where they sold access to a U.S. government server for $2,000. However, Vars_Secc would be banned from XSS after attempting to sell access to the Russian telecommunications giant Rostelecom. [In this, Vars_Secc violated the Number One Rule for operating on a Russia-based crime forum: Never offer to hack or sell data stolen from Russian entities or citizens]. On June 20, 2023, Vars_Secc posted a sales thread on the cybercrime forum Ramp 2.0 titled, “Selling US Gov Financial Access.” “Server within the network, possible to pivot,” Vars_Secc’s sparse sales post read. “Has 3-5 subroutes connected to it. Price $1,250. Telegram: Vars_Secc.” Vars_Secc also used Ramp in June 2023 to sell access to a “Vietnam government Internet Network Information Center.” “Selling access server allocated within the network,” Vars_Secc wrote. “Has some data on it. $500.” BUG BOUNTIES The Vars_Secc identity claimed on Telegram in May 2023 that they made money by submitting reports about software flaws to HackerOne, a company that helps technology firms field reports about security vulnerabilities in their products and services. Specifically, Vars_Secc said they had earned financial rewards or “bug bounties” from reddit.com, the U.S. Department of Defense, and Coinbase, among 30 others. “I make money off bug bounties, it’s quite simple,” Vars_Secc said when asked what they do for a living. “That’s why I have over 30 bug bounty reports on HackerOne.” A month before that, Vars_Secc said they’d found a vulnerability in reddit.com. “I poisoned Reddit’s cache,” they explained. “I’m going to exploit it further, then report it to reddit.” KrebsOnSecurity sought comment from HackerOne, which said it would investigate the claims. This story will be updated if they respond. The Vars_Secc telegram handle also has claimed ownership of the BreachForums member “Boxfan,” and Intel 471 shows Boxfan’s early posts on the forum had the Vars_Secc Telegram account in their signature. In their most recent post to BreachForums in January 2024, Boxfan disclosed a security vulnerability they found in Naver, the most popular search engine in South Korea (according to statista.com). Boxfan’s comments suggest they have strong negative feelings about South Korean culture. “Have fun exploiting this vulnerability,” Boxfan wrote on BreachForums, after pasting a long string of computer code intended to demonstrate the flaw. “Fuck you South Korea and your discriminatory views. Nobody likes ur shit kpop you evil fucks. Whoever can dump this DB [database] congrats. I don’t feel like doing it so I’ll post it to the forum.” The many identities tied to Kiberphant0m strongly suggest they are or until recently were a U.S. Army soldier stationed in South Korea. Kiberphant0m’s alter egos never mentioned their military rank, regiment, or specialization. However, it is likely that Kiberphant0m’s facility with computers and networking was noticed by the Army, which undoubtedly would have placed them in some kind of role involving both. According to the U.S. Army’s website, the bulk of its forces in South Korea reside within the Eighth Army, which has a dedicated cyber operations unit focused on defending against cyber threats. On April 1, 2023, Vars_Secc posted to a public Telegram chat channel a screenshot of the National Security Agency’s website. The image indicated the visitor had just applied for some type of job at the NSA. A screenshot posted by Vars_Secc on Telegram on April 1, 2023, suggesting they just applied for a job at the National Security Agency. The NSA has not yet responded to requests for comment. Reached via Telegram, Kiberphant0m acknowledged that KrebsOnSecurity managed to unearth their old handles. “I see you found the IP behind it no way,” Kiberphant0m replied. “I see you managed to find my old aliases LOL.” Kiberphant0m denied being in the U.S. Army or ever being in South Korea, and said all of that was a lengthy ruse designed to create a fictitious persona. “Epic opsec troll,” they claimed. Asked if they were at all concerned about getting busted, Kiberphant0m called that an impossibility. “I literally can’t get caught,” Kiberphant0m said, declining an invitation to explain why. “I don’t even live in the USA Mr. Krebs.” Below is a mind map that hopefully helps illustrate some of the connections between and among Kiberphant0m’s apparent alter egos. A mind map of the connections between and among the identities apparently used by Kiberphant0m. Click to enlarge.
