惡意PyPI套件鎖定macOS用戶,為了竊取Google Cloud帳密資料,意外扯出AI搜尋引擎遭誤導的社交工程新危機

研究人員揭露一起極具針對性的惡意PyPI套件攻擊,駭客針對特定的Mac電腦用戶下手,甚至疑似捏造開發者的身分,企圖奪得目標人士電腦存放的Google Cloud帳密資料

若是確認受害電腦是攻擊目標,該惡意軟體就會竊取特定的資料,並外傳給攻擊者,這些檔案存放於~/.config/gcloud資料夾,檔名是application_default_credentials.json、credentials.db,而這些檔案內含Google Cloud的身分驗證資料。攻擊者若是得逞,將會試圖存取受害者的Google Cloud資源。

值得一提的是,攻擊者疑似為了說服目標人士下載惡意套件,以該套件的開發者Lucid Zenith的名義設置專屬的LinkedIn帳號,並聲稱是Apex Companies, LLC的執行長(但該公司的執行長其實是Dave Fabianski)。

此外,這些駭客甚至竄改特定的AI聊天機器人的分析結果,例如,能誤導知名的AI搜尋引擎Perplexity:根據上述LinkedIn個人資料,而認為Lucid Zenith就是這家公司的執行長。

研究人員指出,這類搜尋引擎其實能從公司網站挖掘相關資訊,或找到兩個人在LinkedIn網站有相同職稱,例如,在上述案例裡面,都宣稱自己是Apex Companies, LLC的執行長,他們對此感到很意外,因為只有Perplexity出現這樣的結果,其他同類型的機器人則明確表示,Lucid Zenith並非該公司的執行長。
