Preface
Recently, GitHub’s Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) published an article saying that a set of Github code repositories were serving open-source projects that were infected with malicious code (https://securitylab.github.com/research/octopus-scanner-malware-open-source-supply-chain). According to the article, attackers submitted malicious code to the open-source projects, which were referenced by other open-source projects. After being used by developers, these open-source projects with malicious code will search the developers’ machines for NetBeans IDE. If the IDE is found, all Java Archive (JAR) files created by NetBeans will be infected and loaders of malware will be implanted to ensure that the projects can release a remote administration tool (RAT).

At 17:00 of May 20, NSFOCUS SOC detected an abnormal traffic alert in the global monitoring center, the IP addresses of a customer from Hong Kong were under attack and the maximum attack peak reached 634.6 Gbps. This had been the largest of all attacks targeting NSFOCUS’s customers by the
time this report was written. According to IP gang intelligence from the NSFOCUS Threat Intelligence (“NTI”), large quantities of source IP addresses involved in the attack were controlled by the IP gang IPGang01 we have continuously monitored. We will elaborate on it in the following “attack gangs” chapter.
