This week, DefendEdge's CTI team explored the Russia-linked threat actor RomCom. This APT is known for cyberespionage and financial crimes, also called Storm-0978, UNC2596, and Tropical Scorpius, and has been active since at least 2022. In October 2024, RomCom exploited two zero-day vulnerabilities: CVE-2024-9680, a critical use-after-free flaw in Mozilla's animation timelines affecting Firefox, Thunderbird, and Tor Browser, and a Windows Task Scheduler vulnerability. By chaining these, RomCom achieved zero-click remote code execution, deploying their backdoor malware without user interaction. They created malicious websites mimicking legitimate platforms like ConnectWise and Devolutions to lure victims, primarily targeting individuals in Europe and North America. Both vulnerabilities were swiftly patched, limiting the attack's duration.
