I noticed a (minor but abusable) data leak in the RMM/PSA tool Atera a while ago, reported it and it's now fixed. I think it's somewhat interesting so I wrote it up.

Tldr: if you tested your SMTP settings, it used a public mailbox on mailinator, allowing anyone to watch for (and respond to, if you're so inclined) mail. Phishing opportunity!

Sophos MDR blocks and tracks activity from probable Iranian state actor “MuddyWater” – Source: news.sophos.com https://ciso2ciso.com/sophos-mdr-blocks-and-tracks-activity-from-probable-iranian-state-actor-muddywater-source-news-sophos-com/ #legitimateserviceabuse #SecurityOperations #ThreatResearch #nakedsecurity #0CISO2CISO #MuddyWater #phishing #STAC1171 #Atera #TA450 #MDR #RMM

The #SophosMDR team also discovered cases where threat actors targeting #PaperCut were abusing the bitsadmin.exe Windows application to download payloads. #BITSAdmin is commonly abused by active adversaries as a "living off the land binary" or #LOLbin, handy for accomplishing the task of downloading payloads.

The tools exploited in the attacks have included what we refer to as “dual-use agents,” used both legitimately by IT staff and maliciously by attackers. At the time of writing, Sophos has observed the abuse of #AnyDesk, #Atera, #Synchro, #TightVNC, #NetSupport, and #DWAgent remote management tools across multiple campaigns.
