The group at Lyceum first came to public attention earlier this month when ICS Dragos published a short report on the activity of this fresh actor called Hexane. The group was called Hexane. SecureWorks today published its own Lyceum report, which provides information on the instruments and tactics the group uses.

The threat group, previously known as UNC1878 by Mandiant, has been active since at least October 2018. Before a cybersecurity firm can identify whether an entity is a financially motivated group (FIN) or a state-sponsored advanced persistent threat actor, it is given the UNC categorization (APT).

To put that number into perspective, ZDNet notes that the largest DDoS attack recorded was back in March 2018, when NetScout Arbor mitigated a 1.7 Tbps attack prior to February of this year. GitHub revealed the previous month it was hit by an attack with a peak of 1.35 Tbps. The attack in February was a so-called “reflection attack.” As Cloudflare explains, the attempt here is to use a vulnerable third party server to amplify the amount of data sent to the IP address of a victim....

Malwarebytes has seen the malware distributed as trojanized installers for popular macOS applications, including the Little Snitch firewall, the Mixed In Key and Ableton DJ apps, and an update to Google software....

TA505 was first created in 2014 and has grown into one of the world’s most productive cybercrime groups providing victims with RATs, information robbers and banking trojans. Some of the most productive malicious cyber campaigns in recent years, such as Dridex bank trojan and Locky ransomware, are the group responsible.
