3CX Supply Chain Attack Network Indicators

The following analytic identifies DNS queries to domains associated with the 3CX supply chain attack. It leverages the Network_Resolution datamodel to detect these suspicious domain indicators. This activity is significant because it can indicate a potential compromise stemming from the 3CX supply chain attack, which is known for distributing malicious software through trusted updates. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to establish a foothold in the network, exfiltrate sensitive data, or further propagate malware, leading to extensive damage and data breaches.

| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| lookup 3cx_ioc_domains domain as query OUTPUT Description isIOC
| search isIOC=true

False Positives

  • False positives will be present for accessing the 3cx[.]com website. Remove from the lookup as needed.
