OSINT - New campaign targeting security researchers

This threat describes a new campaign targeting security researchers through OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) techniques. The campaign involves creating fake social media profiles, pages, and groups to build credible social network personas. These personas are then used to conduct social engineering attacks aimed at deceiving security researchers. The attackers leverage misinformation patterns to manipulate targets into divulging sensitive information or performing actions that compromise their security posture. The campaign is characterized by external analysis and network activity that facilitates payload delivery, although no specific payload details or exploits in the wild have been reported. The campaign's technical details indicate a moderate threat level and analysis rating, with no direct vulnerabilities or software exploits involved. The campaign relies heavily on psychological manipulation and trust exploitation rather than technical vulnerabilities, making it a sophisticated social engineering threat vector.

This threat describes a new OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) campaign targeting security researchers. The campaign involves adversaries creating fake social media profiles, pages, and groups to build credible social network personas. These personas are then used to conduct social engineering attacks aimed at deceiving security researchers. The goal of such campaigns is typically to gather sensitive information, manipulate targets, or gain trust to facilitate further malicious activities. The campaign leverages misinformation techniques and impersonation, which are common in influence operations and targeted reconnaissance. Although no specific vulnerabilities or exploits are mentioned, the threat relies on psychological manipulation and deception rather than technical exploits. The campaign is ongoing ('lifetime=perpetual') and has been assessed with a medium severity level. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no specific affected software versions or products are identified. The campaign aligns with MITRE ATT&CK techniques T1341 (Build Social Network Persona) and T1249 (Conduct Social Engineering), indicating a focus on human-targeted reconnaissance and manipulation rather than direct system compromise.
