This joint Cybersecurity Advisory is part of an ongoing #StopRansomware effort to publish advisories for network defenders that detail various ransomware variants and ransomware threat actors. These #StopRansomware advisories include recently and historically observed tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) to help organizations protect against ransomware. Visit stopransomware.gov to see all #StopRansomware advisories and to learn more about other ransomware threats and no -cost resources. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Multi -State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) are releasing this joint advisory to disseminate known Ghost (Cring)— ("Ghost")—ransomware IOCs and TTPs identified through FBI investigation as recently as January 2025. Beginning early 2021, Ghost actors began attacking victims whose internet facing services ran outdated February 19, 2025 • Maintain regular system backups stored separately from the source systems which cannot be altered or encrypted by potentially compromised network devices [CPG 2.13]. ■ Patch known vulnerabilities by applying timely security updates to operating systems, software, and firmware within a risk -informed timeframe [CPG 2.F]. o Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE): CVE-2018-13379, CVE-2010- 2861, CVE-2009-3960, CVE-2021- 34473, CVE-2021-34523, CVE-2021- 31207. ■ Segment networks to restrict lateral movement from initial infected devices and other devices in the same organization [CPG 211. ■ Require Phishing-Resistant MFA for access to all privileged accounts and email services accounts.

When available, please include the following information regarding the incident: date, time, and location of the incident; type of activity; number of people affected; type of equipment used for the activity; the name of the submitting company or organization; and a designated point of contact. This document is distributed as TLP:CLEAR. Disclosure is not limited. Sources may use TLP:CLEAR when information carries minimal or no foreseeable risk of misuse, in accordance with applicable rules and procedures for public release. Subject to standard copyright rules, TLP:CLEAR information may be distributed without restriction. For more information on the Traffic Light Protocol, see cisa.gov/tlp. versions of software and firmware. This indiscriminate targeting of networks containing vulnerabilities has led to the compromise of organizations across more than 70 countries, including organizations in China. Ghost actors, located in China, conduct these widespread attacks for financial gain. Affected victims include critical infrastructure, schools and universities, healthcare, government networks, religious institutions, technology and manufacturing companies, and numerous small- and medium-sized businesses. Ghost actors rotate their ransomware executable payloads, switch file extensions for encrypted files, modify ransom note text, and use numerous ransom email addresses, which has led to variable attribution of this group over time. Names associated with this group include Ghost, Cring, Crypt3r, Phantom, Strike, Hello, Wickrme, HsHarada, and Rapture. Samples of ransomware files Ghost used during attacks are: Cring.exe,Ghost. exe,Elysium0.exe,and Locker.exe. Ghost actors use publicly available code to exploit Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and gain access to internet facing servers. Ghost actors exploit well known vulnerabilities and target networks where available patches have not been applied. The FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC encourage organizations to implement the recommendations in the Mitigations section of this advisory to reduce the likelihood and impact of Ghost ransomware incidents.

See the MITRE ATT&CK Tactics and Techniques section of this advisory for a table of the threat actors' activity mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques. Initial Access The FBI has observed Ghost actors obtaining initial access to networks by exploiting public facing applications that are associated with multiple CVEs [T119O]. Their methodology includes leveraging vulnerabilities in Fortinet FortiOS appliances (CVE-2018-13379), servers running Adobe ColdFusion (CVE- 2010-2861 and CVE-2009-3960), Microsoft SharePoint (CVE-2019-0604), and Microsoft Exchange (CVE- 2021-34473, CVE-2021-34523, and CVE-2021-31207— commonly referred to as the ProxyShell attack chain). Execution Ghost actors have been observed uploading a web shell [T15O5.0O3] to a compromised server and leveraging Windows Command Prompt [T1059.003] and/or PowerShell [T1O59.001] to download and execute Cobalt Strike Beacon malware [T1105] that is then implanted on victim systems. Despite Ghost Page 2 of 13 1 Product ID: AA25-050A actors' malicious implementation, Cobalt Strike is a commercially available adversary simulation tool often used for the purposes of testing an organization's security controls. Persistence Persistence is not a major focus for Ghost actors, as they typically only spend a few days on victim networks. In multiple instances, they have been observed proceeding from initial compromise to the deployment of ransomware within the same day. However, Ghost actors sporadically create new local [T1136.001] and domain accounts [T1136.002] and change passwords for existing accounts [T1098]. In 2024, Ghost actors were observed deploying web shells [T1505.003] on victim web servers. Privilege Escalation Ghost actors often rely on built in Cobalt Strike functions to steal process tokens running under the SYSTEM user context to impersonate the SYSTEM user, often for the purpose of running Beacon a second time with elevated privileges [T1134.001]. Ghost actors have been observed using multiple open -source tools in an attempt at privilege escalation through exploitation [T1068] such as "SharpZeroLop-on," "SharpGPPPass," "Bad Potato," and "God Potato." These privilege escalation tools would not generally be used by individuals with legitimate access and credentials. See Table 1 for a descriptive listing of tools. Credential Access Ghost actors use the built in Cobalt Strike function "hashdump" or Mimikatz [T1003] to collect passwords and/or password hashes to aid them with unauthorized logins and privilege escalation or to pivot to other victim devices. Defense Evasion Ghost actors used their access through Cobalt Strike to display a list of running processes [T1057] to determine which antivirus software [T1518.001] is running so that it can be disabled [T1562.001]. Ghost frequently runs a command to disable Windows Defender on network connected devices. Options used in this command are: Set -MpPreference-DisableRealtimeMonitoring 1 - DisableIntrusionPreventionSystem 1-DisableBehaviorMonitoring 1 - DisableScriptScanning 1-DisableIOAVProtection 1-EnableControlledFolderAccess Disabled-MAPSReporting Disabled-SubmitSamplesConsent NeverSend. Discovery Ghost actors have been observed using other built-in Cobalt Strike commands for domain account discovery [T1087.002], open -source tools such as "SharpShares" for network share discovery [T1135], and "Ladon 911" and "SharpNBTScan" for remote systems discovery [T1018].Network administrators would be unlikely to use these tools for network share or remote systems discovery. Page 3 of 13 1 Product ID: AA25-050A Lateral Movement Ghost actors used elevated access and Windows Management Instrumentation Command -Line (WMIC) [T1047] to run PowerShell commands on additional systems on the victim network— often for the purpose of initiating additional Cobalt Strike Beacon infections. The associated encoded string is a base 64 PowerShell command that always begins with: powershell -nop -w hidden -encodedcommand 7ABzADOATgB1AHcALQBPAGIAagB1AGMAdAAgAEkATwAuAEOAZQBtAG8AcgB5AFMAdAByAGUAYQBtACgALA BbAEMAbwBuAHYAZQByAHQAXQA6ADoARgByAG8AbQBCAGEAcwB1ADYANABTAHQAcgBpAG4AZwAoACIA... [T1132.001] [T1564.003]. This string decodes to "$s=New-Object I0.MemoryStream(, [Convert] :: FromBase64String("' and is involved with the execution of Cobalt Strike in memory on the target machine. In cases where lateral movement attempts are unsuccessful, Ghost actors have been observed abandoning an attack on a victim. Ghost ransom notes often claim exfiltrated data will be sold if a ransom is not paid. However, Ghost actors do not frequently exfiltrate a significant amount of information or files, such as intellectual property or personally identifiable information (PII), that would cause significant harm to victims if leaked. The FBI has observed limited downloading of data to Cobalt Strike Team Servers [T1041]. Victims and other trusted third parties have reported limited uses of Mega. nz [T1567.002] and installed web shells for similar limited data exfiltration. Note: The typical data exfiltration is less than hundreds of gigabytes of data. Command and Control Ghost actors rely heavily on Cobalt Strike Beacon malware and Cobalt Strike Team Servers for command and control (C2) operations, which function using hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) [T1071.001]. Ghost rarely registers domains associated with their C2 servers. Instead, connections made to a uniform resource identifier (URI) of a C2 server, for the purpose of downloading and executing Beacon malware, directly reference the C2 server's IP address. For example, http : //xxx . xxx . xxx . xxx : 80/Google . com where xxx . xxx . xxx . xxx represents the C2 server's I P address. For email communication with victims, Ghost actors use legitimate email services that include traffic encryption features. [T1573] Some examples of emails services that Ghost actors have been observed using are Tutanota, Skiff, Proton Mail, Onionmail, and Mailfence. Note: Table 2 contains a list of Ghost ransom email addresses. Impact and Encryption Ghost actors use Cring.exe, Ghost.exe, ElysiumO.exe, and Locker.exe, which are all ransomware executables that share similar functionality. Ghost variants can be used to encrypt specific directories or the entire system's storage [T1486]. The nature of executables' operability is based on command line arguments used when executing the ransomware file. Various file extensions and system folders are Page 4 of 13 1 Product ID: AA25-050A excluded during the encryption process to avoid encrypting files that would render targeted devices inoperable. These ransomware payloads clear Windows Event Logs [T1O7O.001], disable the Volume Shadow Copy Service, and delete shadow copies to inhibit system recovery attempts [T149O]. Data encrypted with Ghost ransomware variants cannot be recovered without the decryption key. Ghost actors hold the encrypted data for ransom and typically demand anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency in exchange for decryption software [T1486]. The impact of Ghost ransomware activity varies widely on a victim -to -victim basis. Ghost actors tend to move to other targets when confronted with hardened systems, such as those where proper network segmentation prevents lateral moment to other devices. Indicators of Compromise (10C) Table 1 lists several tools and applications Ghost actors have used for their operations. The use of these tools and applications on a network should be investigated further. Note: Authors of these tools generally state that they should not be used in illegal activity. Table 1: Tools Leveraged by Ghost Actors Cobalt Strike is penetration testing Cobalt Strike software. Ghost actors use an N/A unauthorized version of Cobalt Strike. Open -source proxy, used to establish a IOX reverse proxy to a Ghost C2 server github[.]com/EddielvanOl/iox from an internal victim device. SharpShares.exe is used to enumerate accessible network shares SharpShares.exe github[.]com/mitch moser/SharpShares in a domain. Ghost actors use this primarily for host discovery. SharpZeroLogon.exe attempts to SharpZeroLogon.exe exploit CVE-2020-1472 and is run github[.]com/leitosama/SharpZeroLogon against a target Domain Controller. Page 5 of 13 1 Product ID: AA25-050A SharpGPPPass.exe attempts to exploit CVE-2014-1812 and targets XML files SharpGPPPass.exe created through Group Policy N/A Preferences that may contain passwords. SpnDump.exe is used to list service S nDum exe principal name identifiers, which N/A p p Ghost actors use for service and / hostname enumeration. A compiled version of SharpNBTScan, a NetBIOS scanner. Ghost actors use NBT.exe github[.]com/BronzeTicket/SharpNBTScan this tool for hostname and IP address enumeration. BadPotato.exe is an exploitation tool BadPotato.exe github[.]com/BeichenDream/Bad Potato used for privilege escalation. God.exe is a compiled version of God.exe God Potato and is used for privilege github[.]com/BeichenDream/God Potato escalation. A portable web server program that HFS (HTTP File Ghost actors use to host files for rejitto[.]com/hfs Server) remote access and exfiltration. A multifunctional scanning and exploitation tool, often used by Ghost actors with the MS17010 option to Ladon 911 github[.]com/k8gege/Ladon scan for SMB vulnerabilities associated with CVE-2017-0143 and CVE-2017-0144.

Inhibit System T1490 Ghost actors delete volume shadow copies. Recovery Mitigations The FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC recommend organizations reference their #StopRansomware Guide and implement the mitigations below to improve cybersecurity posture on the basis of the Ghost ransomware activity. These mitigations align with the Cross -Sector Cybersecurity Performance Goals (CPGs) developed by CISA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The CPGs provide a minimum set of practices and protections that CISA and NIST recommend all organizations implement. CISA and NIST based the CPGs on existing cybersecurity frameworks and guidance to protect against the most common and impactful threats, tactics, techniques, and procedures. Visit CISA's CPGs webpage for more information on the CPGs, including additional recommended baseline protections. ■ Maintain regular system backups that are known -good and stored offline or are segmented from source systems [CPG 2.R]. Ghost ransomware victims whose backups were unaffected by the ransomware attack were often able to restore operations without needing to contact Ghost actors or pay a ransom. ■ Patch known vulnerabilities by applying timely security updates to operating systems, software, and firmware within a risk -informed timeframe [CPG LE]. Page 11 of 13 1 Product ID: AA25-050A ■ Segment networks to restrict lateral movement from initial infected devices and other devices in the same organization [CPG 2.F]. • Require Phishing-Resistant MFA for access to all privileged accounts and email services accounts. ■ Train users to recognize phishing attempts. ■ Monitor for unauthorized use of PowerShell. Ghost actors leverage PowerShell for malicious purposes, although it is often a helpful tool that is used by administrators and defenders to manage system resources. For more information, visit NSA and CISA's joint guidance on PowerShell best practices. o Implement the principle of least privilege when granting permissions so that employees who require access to PowerShell are aligned with organizational business requirements. • Implement allowlisting for applications, scripts, and network traffic to prevent unauthorized execution and access [CPG 3.A]. • Identify, alert on, and investigate abnormal network activity. Ransomware activity generates unusual network traffic across all phases of the attack chain. This includes running scans to discover other network connected devices, running commands to list, add, or alter administrator accounts, using PowerShell to download and execute remote programs, and running scripts not usually seen on a network. Organizations that can successfully identify and investigate this activity are better able to interrupt malicious activity before ransomware is executed [CPG 3.A]. o Ghost actors run a significant number of commands, scripts, and programs that IT administrators would have no legitimate reason for running. Victims who have identified and responded to this unusual behavior have successfully prevented Ghost ransomware attacks. ■ Limit exposure of services by disabling unused ports such as, RDP 3398, FTP 21, and SMB 445, and restricting access to essential services through securely configured VPNs or firewalls. ■ Enhance email security by implementing advanced filtering, blocking malicious attachments, and enabling DMARC, DKIM, and SPF to prevent spoofing [CPG 2.M]. Validate Security Controls In addition to applying mitigations, the FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC recommend exercising, testing, and validating your organization's security program against the threat behaviors mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise framework in this advisory. To get started: 1. Select an ATT&CK technique described in this advisory (see Table 3 to Table 13). 2. Align your security technologies against the technique. 3. Test your technologies against the technique. 4. Analyze your detection and prevention technologies' performance. 5. Repeat the process for all security technologies to obtain a set of comprehensive performance data. Page 12 of 13 1 Product ID: AA25-050A 6. Tune your security program, including people, processes, and technologies, based on the data generated by this process. Reporting Your organization has no obligation to respond or provide information back to the FBI in response to this joint advisory. If, after reviewing the information provided, your organization decides to provide information to the FBI, reporting must be consistent with applicable state and federal laws. The FBI is interested in any information that can be shared, to include logs showing communication to and from foreign IP addresses, a sample ransom note, communications with threat actors, Bitcoin wallet information, and/or decryptor files. Additional details of interest include a targeted company point of contact, status and scope of infection, estimated loss, operational impact, date of infection, date detected, initial attack vector, and host and network -based indicators. The FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC do not encourage paying ransom as payment does not guarantee victim files will be recovered. Furthermore, payment may also embolden adversaries to target additional organizations, encourage other criminal actors to engage in the distribution of ransomware, and/or fund illicit activities. Regardless of whether you or your organization have decided to pay the ransom, the FBI and CISA urge you to promptly report ransomware incidents to FBI's Internet Crime Complain Center (IC3), a local FBI Field Office, or CISA via the agency's Incident Reporting System or its 24/7 Operations Center (report@cisa.gov) or by calling 1-844-Say-CISA (1-844-729-2472).

Did you happen to see the article in the OC Register? I've posted the link below, with excerpts, in case you didn't see it. Why is the county not applying the Strategic Plan that we, the city taxpayers, have already paid for? We don't want anymore of our money sperrt on a worthless `hew' plan. And seriously, why sign another 10-year contract with the cowity on the basis of a `hew" plan, given that they didn't respect the last one. What would that do? If the county warns another contract from the cities, it should promise, in writing, to follow the existing Strategic Plan we already paid for. Sincerely, Karen Vaughn OC Register: New plan for OC Animal Care: To boost survival, or dampen expectations? bapsl/www.ocregister.conr 2025/02/16/new-plamrfor-oc-ani ml care-to-boost-survival-or-danerrexpectations/ Fxcerpts: After all, JVR did the 2018 plan for a meaty $435, 000; Mavrovouniotis and others don't understand exactly why a new plan is needed at all. "We don't need a revision of the strategic plan, we need implementation of the one we have, " he said. The No. I goal was this: "Every animal in the shelter receives daily, varied enrichment. " Success meant that 100% of all healthy, friendly dogs were in daily playgroups, and got in -kennel enrichment tailored for their needs; and that every adoptable cat was taken out of its housing for enrichment at least three times a week, and that all cats got enrichment tailored for their- daily needs. That hasn't exactly come to pass. Where are the regular public measures showing progress toward these goals? Where are the strategies to meet them? Those have been hard to come by, and the shelter's critics fear a new update will lead to a weaker, rather than stronger, plan for saving animals. Boyer suspects that the other organizations knew there's nothing wrong with the original plan and didn't bid because they didn't think they could do much better. `As a taxpayer, we have already wasted $500, 000 on a strategic plan that was approved already. Why do we have to waste yet more money on a weakened, less effective plan that is not as thorough and won't achieve very much at all and will lessen standards at the shelter further?" One potential bidder — who was initially excited about the contract — had heard rumors of dysfunction at OCAC and decided to bow out. "It seems like they need a lot more than strategic planning there, " said the non -bidder, who asked not to be named. `A strategic plan is for when you have an idea of where you want to go and you need a road map of how to get there. This sounds like a business that needs an overhaul. A root -cause analysis. We weren't sure we'd be able to do a strategic plan update in good faith. " "A competitive' biddingprocess? "Boyer said in a testy Facebook exchaWe with Foley. "You have ONE bid. How's that competitive? Obviously your `process' was custom-made to block competition. None of the reputable shelter consultants were willing to lower the standards, so you found one that will. " Another commenter on that post said, "OK, the VERYFIRST metric in the Strategic Plan says: `One hundred percent of all dogs qualified (retention met, healthy, friendly) are in daily playgroups.... 'Have the standards changed? No. If anything, the consensus is even stronger that this type of socialization is super important. Is OCAC doing this? No. Large dogs have near zero playgroups. " The county is using the "update " to delay accountability and lower the standards, that poster said. Mavrovouniotis, for his part, can't help but notice that the update comes as the county s animal services contracts with 14 cities are set to expire in 2026 Romina Yamashiro noted the same thing. "Feels familiar. " she said. "My guess? They're doing this now so they can use it as part of their pitch to the cities for contract renewal. That's essentially how they did it 10 years ago, and the timing lines up perfectly. " Does the county really want a better shelter, critics wonder? We'll be watching how this all unfolds. Clearly, others will be, too.

Non -profits can then bid to offer superior services at a lower price. Ifthe county refuses, look for local non -profits that can provide these services to the city. If you do nothing, you'll be at the mercy of the county. The county is exploiting the cities, running a mediocre shelter and feeding its bureaucracy with the cities' dollars.

REPRESENTATIVE/--CALIFORNIA'S 46" DISTRICT it i6ry ,//�.N(A $ �`4 • . Hello, Nearly nine million veterans receive VA health care, but one in ten of these heroes can access dental care through the Department of Veterans Affairs. That's why I'm a proud cosponsor of the Dental Care for Veterans Act which would expand access to important dental care to all veterans in the VA healthcare system. Access to dental care will not only support our veterans' health, but the VA expects that it could even help lower their total health care costs. Orange County has the fourth veteran population in California, but most cannot access dental care with the VA. I supported this important legislation last year, and I'm looking forward to working with my colleagues to finally get it over thefinish line. As we consider this topic in Congress, I want to hear from you. Should Congress expand access to dental care for our veterans? OYes O No Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office. As I continue to push Congress for better healthcare for our veterans, I will keep your thoughts in mind. My job is to bring your voice to Washington, and I want to continue hearing from you as Congress considers taking action. Sincerely, Rep.
