(picussecurity.com) UNC2891: Anatomy of a Sophisticated Bank Heist Using CAKETAP Rootkit and Raspberry Pi-Based Attacks
UNC2891, a financially motivated threat group active since 2017, has executed sophisticated attacks on banking infrastructure using custom malware and physical access vectors. Their latest campaign in Q1 2025 involved planting a 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi on a bank’s network switch to bypass perimeter defenses, enabling ATM fraud via Payment HSM manipulation.
In brief - UNC2891 targets financial institutions with advanced Linux/Solaris malware, including the CAKETAP rootkit, to authorize fraudulent ATM withdrawals. A recent attack used a Raspberry Pi for initial access, highlighting evolving physical and digital threats to banking systems.
Technically - UNC2891 employs CAKETAP (Solaris kernel rootkit) to hook system calls like `mkdirat` and `ipcl_get_next_conn`, enabling stealthy C2 and network manipulation. SLAPSTICK (PAM backdoor) captures credentials, while TINYSHELL (backdoor) communicates over raw TCP (ports 53/443). Tools like WINGHOOK (keylogger) and STEELHOUND (in-memory dropper) facilitate credential harvesting and payload execution. The CAKETAP variant on ATM switches bypasses card/PIN verification by replaying HSM responses.

(domaintools.com) ZionSiphon: A Conceptually Mature but Functionally Constrained ICS-Targeting Malware with Critical Execution Flaws
New ICS-targeting malware ZionSiphon (SCADA_SecurityPatch_v8.4.exe) exposes critical gaps between cyber-physical attack intent and execution. Despite sophisticated water-sector targeting logic—including chlorine dosing and reverse osmosis control references—it fails due to a fatal XOR bug in geofencing validation, preventing activation in Israeli IP ranges (2.52.0.0/14, 5.28.0.0/16).
In brief - ZionSiphon demonstrates modular ICS malware development by Iranian-aligned actors, but its non-operational state and lack of C2 channels limit immediate risk. The malware’s dual-use nature—combining technical sabotage with psychological operations—highlights evolving cyber-physical threat tactics.
Technically - The PE32/.NET implant executes at the Windows host layer, leveraging PowerShell (Start-Process -Verb RunAs), registry persistence (Run\SystemHealthCheck), and static ICS configuration paths (e.g., C:\ChlorineControl.dat). It lacks native ICS protocol support (Modbus/DNP3/S7comm) and PLC interaction, relying on pre-scripted logic. USB propagation strings (CreateUSBShortcut) were observed but unconfirmed. Detection relies on generic Windows behaviors, as no engines flag it as ICS-specific.

(socket.dev) Sophisticated iOS Exploit Delivery via Compromised npm Package: Analysis of the Coruna Exploit Kit Watering Hole Attack
Newly uncovered watering hole campaign by UNC6691 delivers Coruna exploit kit via compromised npm package `art-template` (v4.13.5/6), targeting iOS 11.0–17.2. Exploit framework employs multi-stage WASM payloads, anti-bot fingerprinting, and session-key-gated content addressing.
In brief - A Chinese threat actor exploited a hijacked npm package to inject malicious scripts, redirecting iOS users to a watering hole site hosting the Coruna exploit kit. The attack leverages supply chain compromise, advanced obfuscation, and version-specific payloads to target non-auto-updating iPhones.
Technically - The `art-template` compromise injects a script loader fetching `49554fde7424c31c.js`, a heavily obfuscated implant (UTF-16 packing, XOR encoding, eval chains) that enforces strict browser/OS checks. The Coruna framework uses WebRTC/WebGL fingerprinting, IndexedDB Blob tests, and WASM proof-of-work to validate targets before delivering architecture-specific payloads (ARM64/ARM64_32). Content-addressed URLs derive from session-key hashing, and C2 domains overlap with prior Coruna activity.
