新興網路威脅:USB埠駭客攻擊

USB 木馬屠城記:Juice Jacking 與 BadUSB 如何將日常連接埠變為重大威脅 

看似不起眼的 USB 連接埠,作為便利的象徵,正以驚人的速度被網絡犯罪分子武器化。從公共充電站到被丟棄的隨身碟,這些日常的連接器正成為惡意軟件和資料竊取的主要途徑,促使 FBI 和 FCC 等機構發出官方警告。這已不再是理論上的威脅,而是我們數碼環境中一個清晰且現實的危險。

現代 USB 威脅格局

攻擊者正透過幾種精密的方法來利用 USB 連接:

  • Juice Jacking:公共充電陷阱。這種眾所周知的技術涉及入侵機場、酒店和咖啡店的公共 USB 充電站。透過在這些連接埠中嵌入惡意代碼,攻擊者可以安裝惡意軟件,或從任何插入充電的設備中竊取個人資料和密碼。FBI 認為此風險極為嚴重,已建議公眾完全避免使用這些充電站。
  • BadUSB 與惡意隨身碟:具欺騙性的硬件。BadUSB 攻擊比簡單的惡意軟件更為先進,它會修改設備的韌體,使其偽裝成鍵盤等受信任的周邊設備,同時在暗中執行惡意指令。這類攻擊極其危險,因為它可以繞過標準的防毒軟件。像 UNC4990 這樣的黑客組織被觀察到使用此方法,同時也使用較簡單的「誘餌」策略 —— 故意在公共場所丟棄受感染的 USB 隨身碟,等待好奇的人將其插入電腦。
  • 針對企業的攻擊。這些威脅不僅限於個人。最近在 iPhone 的 USB-C 連接埠中發現的一個漏洞,展示了惡意代碼如何能繞過蘋果嚴格的安全措施。對機構而言,當員工在不知情的情況下將「誘餌 USB」帶入公司網絡時,風險會被放大,可能危及整個系統。

多層次防禦至關重要

作為回應,各國政府正發布警報,製造商也正發布如蘋果的「USB 限制模式」(USB Restricted Mode)等安全更新。然而,沒有任何單一解決方案是萬無一失的。一個穩健的防禦需要在機構和個人層面上都保持警惕。

對企業而言

最有效的策略是建立清晰的 USB 使用政策、提供關於這些特定威脅的全面員工培訓,並加速向安全的雲端平台過渡,以進行資料儲存和檔案共享。

對個人而言

規則很簡單:避免使用公共 USB 充電站、攜帶自己的充電器和行動電源,並且絕不插入來源不明的 USB 設備。使用「USB 資料阻斷器」(USB Data Blocker)也能在連接不受信任的連接埠時,提供一道阻止資料傳輸的實體屏障。透過將每個未知的 USB 連接埠和設備都視為潛在威脅,我們便能減輕這個迅速浮現的風險。

AI 驅動的劫案:人工智能如何武裝下一代網絡犯罪分子

AI 驅動的劫案:人工智能如何武裝下一代網絡犯罪分子 

在香港,一名財務主管在接到一通看似來自公司財務總監的視訊通話指示後,轉帳了 2,500 萬美元。唯一的問題是?那位財務總監是由 AI 生成的深偽影像。這不是科幻小說,而是網絡安全新時代的一個鮮明例子,在這個時代,人工智能既是強大的工具,也是可怕的武器。

隨著 AI 融入社會,它正從兩方面重塑威脅格局:一是為傳統的黑客手法提供強大動力,二是創造出全新的攻擊方式。

AI 加持的舊劇本

敵手現正利用 AI 以驚人的效率,精進並自動化舊有的攻擊手法。

  • 超個人化的社交工程:忘掉那些有錯別字和通用問候語的郵件吧。由 AI 驅動的釣魚郵件現在能完美模仿人類溝通,利用目標的社交媒體資料,製造出極具個人化和說服力的訊息,輕鬆繞過傳統的過濾器。深偽技術將此威脅提升至更高層次,讓攻擊者能複製高階主管的聲音和面容用於視訊通話,使得詐騙性的資金或資料請求具有驚人的說服力。
  • 自動化、大規模的攻擊:AI 演算法可以全年無休地運作,掃描數千個系統的漏洞,並以超越暴力破解法的智能破解密碼。透過分析行為模式,AI 能預測並測試極有可能的密碼組合,以前所未有的規模削弱傳統的安全策略。

攻擊大腦:針對 AI 的新型威脅前線

除了強化舊有手法,針對 AI 模型本身的新型威脅也正浮現。

  • 模型完整性攻擊:敵手正學習如何欺騙 AI 系統。一次「對抗性攻擊」(Adversarial Attack)可能只是在交通標誌上策略性地貼上一張貼紙,就讓自動駕駛汽車將停車標誌誤讀為速限標誌。「模型汙染」(Model Poisoning)則涉及竄改 AI 的訓練數據以植入隱藏的後門,例如,教導一個安全系統將某種特定病毒辨識為「安全」。
  • 前所未有的私隱風險:AI 處理海量數據集的能力對個人私隱構成嚴重威脅。「模型反轉攻擊」(Model Inversion Attacks)能從 AI 的公開輸出中,重構出敏感的個人資料(如醫療記錄)。此外,透過關聯匿名化的數據點 —— 如位置歷史和信用卡使用紀錄 —— AI 能推斷出敏感的個人特徵,從而有效地對個人進行「去匿名化」。
  • 「黑盒子」的兩難困境:我們對 AI 日益增長的依賴充滿風險,因為我們常常不理解它為何做出某些決策。這種「黑盒子」特性使事件應對變得複雜,歷史上如微軟的聊天機器人變得充滿仇恨言論,或亞馬遜的招聘 AI 產生性別偏見等例子都證明了這一點。

全面性安全策略的新呼籲

AI 驅動威脅的崛起,意味著純粹的技術防禦已不再足夠。為保持韌性,機構必須採取一種全面性的策略,將 AI 不僅視為需要防禦的工具,更將其本身視為一個潛在的攻擊途徑 —— 這需要一個結合法律、道德和安全治理的新框架。

資料加密解決方案D.AMO已正常運作超過17年

從韓國領導者到全球競爭者:深入剖析 Penta Security 的制霸策略 

近三十年來,Penta Security 一直在南韓的網絡安全領域中低調地佔據主導地位。其在資料加密、網站安全和身份驗證領域的旗艦產品,已連續超過 17 年保持市場第一的地位,為公司建立了卓越的聲譽。現在,在行政總裁 Tae Gyun Kim 的領導下,這家總部位於首爾的公司正利用其深厚的技術根基,推動一項雄心勃勃的全球擴張計畫。

自 2022 年 8 月上任以來,Kim 監督了驚人的增長,去年年營收增加了超過 100 億韓元,達到 378 億韓元。Kim 在最近的一次採訪中表示:「我們的三款旗艦產品都在各自的領域中處於領先地位。」這句話凸顯了公司的穩固基礎。

奠基於三階段哲學的穩固基礎

Penta Security 的成功建立在一個清晰的三階段網絡安全模型之上:1) 身份驗證,2) 監控與攔截,以及 3) 資料保護。「身份驗證是第一道也是最脆弱的階段,」Kim 解釋道,「接著我們監控流量並攔截威脅。最後,我們用加密技術保護最終目標 —— 資料本身。這最後一個階段是我們的核心優勢。」

此哲學指導了其市場領先產品的開發:

  • iSIGN(身份驗證):韓國第一的硬件式 SSO 平台,於 2001 年推出。
  • WAPPLES(監控與攔截):一款智慧型 WAAP 解決方案,於 2005 年推出,現已保護全球超過 70 萬家企業。
  • D.AMO(資料保護):公司的「金牛」產品,也是韓國首款商業級資料加密解決方案,於 2004 年推出。

放眼全球未來的願景

儘管 Penta Security 在韓國公共部門享有超過 50% 的市場佔有率,其目光已投向海外。「國內市場太有限了,策略性的國際擴張是關鍵。」Kim 強調。公司的目標是在五年內讓國際營收與國內營收持平。

日本已成為一個關鍵的橋頭堡,在其 1,100 家國際企業客戶中,日本客戶約佔 400 家。「日本客戶重視我們數據驅動的效能、在地化支援和友善的使用者工具。」Kim 指出,並提到其 Cloudbric WAF+ 服務在該國實現了 6,000% 的爆炸性增長。隨著在東京、河內和阿布達比設立了辦事處,Penta Security 正調整其核心產品以滿足區域需求,並預計今年的海外授權營收將超過 50 億韓元。

為明日的威脅而創新

Penta Security 持續積極創新。今年將推出增強版 WAAP 平台 WAPPLES 7.0,以及用生物辨識和 OTP 取代密碼的 iSIGN Passwordless。公司還將推出 Cloudbric Mask,一項免費的 AI 驅動服務,可自動模糊影像和影片中的個人資訊。

「我們的目標是從韓國的網絡安全領導者,發展成為全球頂尖的網絡安全公司。」Kim 總結道。「我們希望建立一個讓充滿熱情的專業人士都嚮往加入的公司。」憑藉其成熟的技術和清晰的全球策略,Penta Security 正在為實現此目標提出強而有力的論證。
