The company is adding new tools as bad actors use ChatGPT-themed lures and mask their infrastructure in an attempt to trick victims and elude defenders.
today that it sees many malware actors spreading their attack infrastructure across multiple platforms, to make it more difficult for individual tech companies to detect their malicious activity. The company added, though, that it views the shift in tactics as a sign that industry crackdowns are working, and it says it isresources and protections for business users with the goal of raising the barriers for attackers even more.
On Facebook, Meta has now added new controls for business accounts to manage, audit, and limit who can become an account administrator, who can add other administrators, and who can perform sensitive actions like accessing a line of credit. The goal is to make it more difficult for attackers to use some of their most common tactics.
Meta is also launching a step-by-step tool for businesses to help them flag and remove malware on their enterprise devices and will even suggest using third-party malware scanners. The company says it sees a pattern in which users' Facebook accounts are compromised, the owners regain control, and then the accounts are re-compromised because the targets' devices are still infected with malware or have been reinfected.
“This is an ecosystem challenge, and there’s a lot of adversary adaptation,” says Nathaniel Gleicher, Meta’s head of security policy. “What we’re seeing is adversaries working really hard, but defenders moving more systematically. We're not just disrupting individual bad actors; there are a number of different ways that we are countering them and making it harder.”
The move to distribute malicious infrastructure across multiple platforms has advantages for attackers. They may distribute ads on a social network like Facebook that aren't directly malicious, but that link to a fake creator page or other niche profile. On that site, attackers can post a special password and link to a file-sharing service like Dropbox or Mega.
