In recent weeks, more and more people retweeting or sharing shit from this BreakGlass AI thing... That in itself is a sad thing... but - unfortunately - not really surprising.
Until now, I didn't said anything about this publicly. But today, after seeing
@JRoosen retweeted a tweet sharing that "quality" article the "Official Twitter page of the 780th Military Intelligence Brigade (Cyber)" account tweeted that article, I have to ask: what the fuck is going on? Like, random people sharing random things is a thing... but more and more supposedly knowledgeable (in relation to malware/reversing/etc I mean, of course) people, and some also who not only supposedly, but seriously have knowledge are sharing these shits is not great, to say it nicely...
Anyway, the only reason I looked at that article was because when I saw the title containing "a Cardiff University GovRoam Relay", I was like "that could be something interesting if it's true, so let's just quickly look at the article and see if somehow it's true this time". So looked, and of course it turned out that it is wrong.
The article says right after "The Cardiff University Connection" that "This is the finding that prompted this writeup." - so the most important thing in the whole article is wrong.
The C2 IP (so not a domain, but an IP) of that sample is this: 151.242.152[.]131 - it has absolutely nothing to do with Cardiff University.
Also the article mentions 3 ports for that. The first two are clearly wrong, and about the third one I have no idea at all. The right base port is 4408, with a sandbox also showing traffic on port 4409 too.
