Adversaries may use a spearphishing attachment, a variant of spearphishing, as a form of a social engineering attack against specific targets. Spearphishing attachments are different from other forms of spearphishing in that they employ malware attached to an email. All forms of spearphishing are electronically delivered and target a specific individual, company, or industry. In this scenario, adversaries attach a file to the spearphishing email and usually rely upon User Execution to gain execution and access.
A Chinese spearphishing campaign running from December 9, 2011 through February 29, 2012, targeted ONG organizations and their employees. The emails were constructed with a high level of sophistication to convince employees to open the malicious file attachments.
Platforms: ICS
Determine if the target ICS/SCADA environment is susceptible to Spearphishing Attachment by examining operational technology systems and network architecture.
Review whether mitigations for T0865 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable in the ICS environment.
Users can be trained to identify social engineering techniques and spearphishing emails.
Network intrusion prevention systems and systems designed to scan and remove malicious email attachments can be used to block activity.
