The May 2025 Security Issues campaign highlights a series of cyber threats targeting financial institutions primarily in South Korea but with global implications. The campaign details multiple attack vectors including malware infections, phishing campaigns, and ransomware attacks, with a focus on the financial sector. Key malware strains are identified among the top 10 most prevalent, contributing to data breaches and account compromises. A significant incident involved the Arkana ransomware group breaching a global online brokerage firm, resulting in the theft of approximately 50 GB of sensitive customer data. This data included Know Your Customer (KYC) submissions and personal information of over 163,000 customers, exposing critical vulnerabilities in identity verification and account protection mechanisms within trading platforms. The campaign also discusses the presence of stolen financial data on the dark web, including credit card and database breaches, which facilitate identity theft and fraud. The threat actors employ a range of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) such as ransomware deployment (T1486), data destruction (T1489), credential access (T1078), phishing (T1566), and command and control communications (T1071). The campaign underscores that existing regulatory compliance measures are insufficient to mitigate these risks, emphasizing the need for enhanced security controls tailored to the unique challenges of financial services platforms. Indicators of compromise include multiple malware hashes linked to the Arkana group and associated ransomware families like LockBit. Although no known exploits in the wild are reported, the campaign reflects ongoing and evolving threats to financial institutions' confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services.
