  7. Jak Windows śledzi użytkowników przez Global Device ID (GDID)? Czyli o operacji FBI i wpadce nastoletniego przestępcy

    19-letni Petera Stokes to członek głośnej grupy Scattered Spider znanej też jako Octo Tempest, UNC3944 i 0ktapus, która zasłynęła z wyrafinowanych ataków socjotechnicznych, SIM swappingu i ataków ransomware. Wpadł, bo do przeprowadzania ataków korzystał z Windowsa. I choć jak na “hakera” przystało korzstał z VPN-a aby ukryć swój IP, to za bardzo mu to nie pomogło…
    VPN nie pomógł. Zgubił go Windows i GDID
    Z 39-stronicowego dokumentu sądowego wynika, że FBI o pomoc w namierzeniu tożsamości włamywacza poprosiło Microsoft, dzięki czemu udało się powiązać adres IP z tzw. Global Device ID (GDID). Co to jest GDID? To unikatowy identyfikator urządzenia, który system Windows na stałe przypisuje do konkretnej instalacji sprzętowej lub maszyny wirtualnej.
    Nawet jeśli zmieniasz IP przez VPN, twój system operacyjny nieustannie komunikuje się z serwerami Microsoftu, wysyłając w tle telemetrię opisaną tym samym identyfikatorem GDID.
    W logach przekazanych FBI znalazły się dowody na to, że ten sam GDID, który logował się do usług VPN, odwiedzał też strony ofiar gangu ScatteredSpider oraz platformy gamingowe. Microsoft miał rekordy wskazujące, że urządzenie z danym GDID 12 maja 2025 o 19:21 UTC weszło m.in. na stronę zakładania konta ngrok, dokładnie wtedy, kiedy utworzono konto ngrok użyte w ataku. Potem GDID porównano z aktywnością kont przypisywanych Stokesowi: Facebooka, Snapchata, Apple i Ubisoft/Growtopia oraz z podróżami do Estonii, Nowego Jorku i Tajlandii.

  17. New, from me: Scattered Spider Hackers Plead Guilty on Day 1 of Trial

    Two men pleaded guilty in the United Kingdom this week to criminal charges stemming from an August 2024 cyberattack that crippled Transport for London, the entity responsible for the public transport network in the Greater London area. The duo were key members of a prolific cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, and their guilty pleas came on the first day of what was expected to be a six-week trial.

    From the story:

    "Jubair is also wanted by U.S. law enforcement agencies. In September 2025, prosecutors in New Jersey unsealed an indictment alleging Jubair and other Scattered Spider members committed computer fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering in relation to 120 computer network intrusions involving 47 U.S. entities between May 2022 and September 2025, and that the group’s victims paid at least $115 million in ransom payments."
