joint advisory on akira ransomware

the cyber security agency of singapore (csa), the singapore police force (spf) and the personal data protection commission (pdpc) have received several reports from organisations affected by the akira ransomware variant. this advisory provides information on akira ransomware variant, observed tactics, techniques and procedures (ttps) employed by akira affiliated threat actors to compromise their victims’ networks and recommended measures for organisations to mitigate the threats posed. information from this advisory is drawn from various sources, including but not limited to national cert publications, open-source information, and threat intelligence reports.

background of akira

the akira ransomware variant first emerged in march 2023. the akira threat group operates as an affiliate-based ransomware threat group, targeting both windows and linux systems under a “ransomware-as-a-service” (raas) model. the akira threat group provides its software and infrastructure to cybercriminal groups (affiliates) in return for a percentage of any ransom paid by victim organisations.

the akira threat group has been observed to target businesses and organisations worldwide across a variety of sectors including education, finance, manufacturing, and healthcare, with affiliates observed to be indiscriminate in their targets. ransom amounts proposed will also be based on their study of the victim organisations’ business profile.

observed tactics, techniques and procedures (ttps)

initial access
akira affiliates have been observed to leverage a range of techniques to gain initial access to a victim organisation’s network. these techniques include:
exploit known vulnerabilities (e.g. cisco vpn service without multi-factor authentication (mfa) configured)
brute force external-facing services such as remote desktop protocol (rdp)
deploy social engineering campaigns to trick victims into downloading malicious software that obtains user credentials or inputting their credentials on phishing websites
use compromised credentials that may have been obtained by the affiliate from access brokers

persistence and privilege escalation

akira affiliates have been observed to create a new domain account on the compromised system to establish persistence. akira affiliates leverage post-exploitation attack techniques, such as kerberoasting, to extract credentials stored in the process memory of the local security authority subsystem service (lsass). they also use credential scraping tools like mimikatz and lazagne to facilitate privilege escalation.

discovery

akira affiliates have been observed using specific tools to gain knowledge on the victim’s system and its connected network, such as pchunter and sharphound to gather system information, adfind alongside the net windows command and nltest to obtain domain information. advanced ip scanner and masscan are used to discover other remote systems for lateral movement.

defence evasion and lateral movement

akira affiliates have been observed to use tools such as powertool or killav, that exploits the zemana antimalware driver to terminate antivirus-related processes, as well as utilise windows remote desk protocol (rdp) to move laterally within the victim’s network.

exfiltration and impact

akira affiliates employs several methods to exfiltrate sensitive company information prior to encryption. these include the use of legitimate tools such as winrar, to split and compress data prior to exfiltration, filezilla or winscp, which are file transfer protocol tools, or rclone, an open-source command line cloud storage manager which can be used with filesharing services like mega.

once data exfiltration is completed, akira encrypts data using a hybrid encryption algorithm which involves combining a chacha20 with an rsa for speed and secure key exchange. encrypted files are appended with either the .akira or .powerranges extension. akira’s encryptor, w.exe utilises powershell commands to delete volume shadow copies (vss) on windows systems to inhibit system recovery. additionally, a ransom note named fn.txt will appear in both the root directory (c:) and users’ directory (c:\users).

the akira ransom note typically includes a code unique to each victim along with instructions to contact the affiliates through a .onion url. ransom payments are requested in bitcoin, which are directed to cryptocurrency wallet addresses specified by the affiliates. the tor site (.onion) where victims contact the affiliates, contains stolen information and a list of the affected organisations.

last offender to plead guilty in s$3 billion money laundering case gets 16 months’ jail
around s$54 million in assets, including cash and cryptocurrency, were seized from wang dehai, who was involved in a remote gambling business in the philippines.

singapore: the last of 10 individuals prosecuted in the s$3 billion (us$2.2 billion) money laundering case pleaded guilty in court on friday (jun 7) and was handed the longest jail term so far at 16 months.

wang dehai, 35, faced six charges, two of which are related to money laundering, while the rest are employment offences under the employment of foreign manpower act.

the cypriot pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing s$2,299,950 in cash that was suspected to be benefits from illicit remote gambling offences.

the other money laundering charge was for using around s$23 million in suspected criminal proceeds to buy a condominium unit in orchard road.

the two employment offences were for falsely representing himself as a brand manager and a business consultant for craft digital between 2018 and 2022 to obtain employment passes, and for hiring a housekeeper without a valid work pass.

these charges were taken into consideration for his sentencing.

for the money laundering charge that was proceeded on, wang could have been jailed up to three years, or fined up to s$150,000, or both.

wang was nabbed with nine other foreigners during simultaneous raids islandwide in august 2023. he is the last one to have pleaded guilty in court.

those that came before wang have had millions of dollars in assets, including luxury goods and properties, seized and surrendered.

for wang, around s$54 million in assets, including cash, cryptocurrency, luxury items and property were seized or subjected to prohibition of disposal orders. he has agreed to surrender about 90 per cent of these assets.

accused part of illegal remote gambling business

the court heard that wang was involved in a illicit business based in the philippines from 2012. the business offered remote gambling services to people in china, which is an offence. he worked in the customer service side of the business before becoming a promoter in 2014.

as a promoter, he was given a 3 per cent share in the annual profit of the business. his total income in 2016 amounted to more than s$15 million. wang left the operation in 2022 and received a final payout of around s$1.38 million.

he recruited his cousin su wenqiang into the business. the others involved were wang’s brother-in-law su yongcan, wang’s cousin wang huoqiang, and su jianfeng, who is su yongcan’s brother-in-law.

su yongcan and wang huoqiang, who are both cambodian nationals, are on the run, while su wenqiang and su jianfeng have been convicted in singapore’s court.

wang and his family relocated to singapore in 2018, as he wanted his children to be educated here. investigations found that he had transferred proceeds from his illicit gambling business into singapore.

on aug 15, 2023, the day of wang’s arrest, a rimowa luggage containing s$2,299,950 in cash was found at wang’s home.

he initially lied that he did not know the contents of the luggage, which he claimed belonged to his wife. he also provided inconsistent accounts in statements, first claiming that the money came in part from selling off his cryptocurrency in singapore, and from su yongcan, or from winning mahjong games.

in another statement, he claimed the money all came from su yongcan, who had cash delivered in a suitcase by an unknown person in the orchard area at the end of october 2022. wang lied that the money was a loan to him.

he was unable to account for the source of the money.

sentencing arguments

the prosecution, represented by deputy public prosecutors david koh and louis ngia, argued for 16 to 17 months’ jail for wang.

mr ngia cited three aggravating factors: that the offences involved a transnational syndicate, that the amount was substantial, and that wang’s conduct reflected a broader abuse of singapore’s financial infrastructure.

comparing the sum in wang’s proceeded charge to the co-accused’s cases that came before him, the prosecution said that individual and similar money laundering charges involving s$1 million to s$1.47 million had resulted in 13-month jail terms.

“in this light, it is only fair and just that a higher sentence be imposed on the accused for his offence, given that it involves a significantly higher sum of (around) s$2.3 million,” the prosecution said.

pointing out that the total amount across wang’s charges exceeded s$25 million, the prosecution said its proposed sentence was “fair”.

wang’s lawyer megan chia, however, argued that for a few of the previous convictions, the total amounts involved added up to more than wang’s s$25 million.

unlike the other accused, wang did not face any forgery charges, and had not transferred money through corporate intermediaries, said ms chia.

he had voluntarily surrendered most of his seized assets, including his family home in singapore, which showed his remorse, said the defence lawyer, who added that her client eventually dropped out of the business when he moved to singapore.

“all he and his wife genuinely wanted to do when moving into singapore was to provide a good environment for his children to grow up and secure top-notch education for his children,” said ms chia.

“flagrantly chose to flout” singapore’s laws

however district judge sharmila sripathy-shanaz took issue with this point, arguing that wang had offended for several years before he was arrested, which went against the defence’s portrayal of his life in singapore as “uneventful”.

she addressed the point further in sentencing remarks.

“the seeming implication that mr wang was, by the time of his residence in singapore, a benign individual who had simply sought to build a home in this country with his family blithely ignores the objective evidence before this court,” said the judge.

“in reality, the charges as a whole disclose that mr wang continued to sustain himself in singapore with property reasonably suspected of representing the benefits of his criminal conduct.”

wang had also repeatedly defrauded singapore authorities in his employment offences, the judge said.

on the defence’s point that wang and his family will be expelled from singapore and are likely to be barred from re-entering, the judge said: “i can only say that mr wang sealed his family’s fate when he deliberately and flagrantly chose to flout the laws of this country.

“ultimately, it is an established principle of law that the natural collateral consequences that follow when an individual commits an offence do not serve as effective mitigation. i thus place no weight on this in sentencing.”

of the nine who pleaded guilty before wang, eight have been sentenced to jail terms of between 12 and 15 months while one has yet to be sentenced.

vanuatu national su jianfeng, 36, pleaded guilty on thursday but had his sentencing reserved until monday. the prosecution argued for 17 to 18 months’ jail for su jianfeng, the longest term sought so far for an accused person in this case.

su jianfeng’s sentencing will conclude the multi-billion dollar case that has cast the problem of money laundering into the spotlight.

30亿元洗钱案最后一名被告王德海认罪 王德海判监16个月

30亿元洗钱案被告王德海星期五（6月7日）在庭上认罪后被判坐牢16个月，约4920万元资产在下判后被充公；他是第九名被判刑的被告，也是刑期最长的被告。

塞浦路斯籍的王德海（35岁）共面对两项抵触贪污、贩毒和严重罪案（没收利益）法令和四项抵触雇佣外来人力法令的控状。他星期五在国家法院承认其中一项，余项交由法官下判时纳入考量。

警方从王德海和其妻子名下共起获价值约5400万元的资产，包括现金、轿车、加密货币和奢侈品等。其中约九成资产在案件下判后被充公。

案情显示，王德海在2012年起参与菲律宾的非法线上赌博生意，刚开始从领月薪的客服做起，在升职后才获得3%的利润分成。协助经营线上赌博生意期间，他前后曾获得8000万人民币（约1500万新元）和800万港币（约138万新元） 的酬劳。

后来，王德海为了让孩子在新加坡求学，才与家人移居新加坡。

警方在2023年8月15日逮捕王德海时搜出229万9950元现金，有合理理由相信全额或部分是非法线上赌博赃款。他无法合理说明这笔钱的来源，且在调查中的说辞反复，原本指是与他有亲戚关系的苏永灿售卖加密货币所得，后又指可能是赌博所赢。

本案至今已有九人被治罪。苏文强（32岁）和王宝森（32岁）被判坐牢13个月，他们已服刑完毕，在5月6日被驱逐至柬埔寨；被判入狱14个月的苏宝林（42岁）和苏海金（41岁）服刑后分别在5月25日和28日被驱逐至柬埔寨；王水明（43岁）被判坐牢13个月又六周，服刑后在6月1日被驱逐至日本。这五人都被禁止再入境我国。

其他被告张瑞金（45岁）、陈清远（34岁）和林宝英（44岁），皆被判监15个月。另一人苏剑锋（36岁）在星期四（6日）认罪后，案件展期至下星期一（10日）下判。（部分人名译音）

prosecution seeks longest jail term so far for 9th offender in s$3 billion money laundering case
su jianfeng worked for the illegal gambling business aimed at punters in china from malaysia before moving to the philippines and eventually singapore, where he bought millions of dollars worth of property with the criminal funds.

singapore: the prosecution is seeking a sentence of 17 to 18 months’ jail for su jianfeng, the longest term sought so far for an accused person in the s$3 billion money laundering probe that showed criminals with roots in china converting their illegal overseas gains to luxury properties and goods in singapore.

su, 36, is listed as a vanuatu national in court documents but was born in fujian, china, according to his seized passports.

he pleaded guilty to one charge each of possessing s$550,903 in criminal benefits and fraudulently using a property sale contract to explain the source of about s$2 million deposited into his maybank account. another 12 charges will be taken into consideration for sentencing.

how su was roped into the illegal business

the court heard that su was introduced to an illegal remote gambling business by an “unknown taiwanese man” in 2013.

the business involved online gambling websites, which punters from china would access through their phones for betting.

su joined the business, working initially from kuala lumpur, malaysia, before going to manila, philippines. he advertised the websites and managed the workers who operated and maintained the gambling websites.

in august 2019, su’s children relocated to singapore as he wanted them to study there, and su followed a year later.

the commercial affairs department of the singapore police force began receiving information of possible money laundering and the use of forged documents to mask the source of funds in singapore bank accounts from 2021.

investigations pointed to a group of foreign nationals, and the police launched islandwide simultaneous raids on aug 15, 2023, to nab the suspects, including su.

they raided su’s home at third avenue, seizing s$550,903 in cash from a safe in his master bedroom.

the money was from the illegal gambling business based in the philippines, aimed at punters in china.

in singapore, su had a bank account with maybank. in march 2021, maybank’s financial crime compliance unit sent an email to su’s relationship manager at maybank, highlighting two suspicious deposits.

su had received a sum of about s$1 million on dec 2, 2020, and another sum of s$969,970 on dec 3, 2020 into his maybank account from tuo xin you limited.

su’s relationship manager was instructed by the financial crime compliance unit to obtain supporting documents for these two deposits.

in response, su said the money came from the purported sale of a property in dubai to a person who owned tuo xin you limited. he provided a property sale contract to back up his claim, but this was later found to be forged.

su had lied about the origin of the money as he did not want maybank to discover the real source.

about s$187 million worth of assets linked to su or held under his wife’s name have been seized – including cash, properties, vehicles, luxury goods, cryptocurrency and alcohol.

the properties are worth s$7.1 million and include apartments in newton, tanglin and beach road, as well as shophouses in telok ayer and chinatown.

as part of his plea deal, su has agreed to have at least 95 per cent of his seized assets forfeited to the state.

prosecutors on thursday sought 17 to 18 months’ jail for su, saying he indicated his guilty plea much later than the others, and that his crimes involved higher amounts.

defence on timing of su’s guilty plea

su was represented by two teams of lawyers: senior counsel n sreenivasan, ms jerrie tan and ms adorabelle tan from k&l gates straits law, and mr ravindran ramasamy and mr arjun ravindran from cnplaw.

the defence asked for 14.5 months’ jail instead, objecting to the prosecution’s contention that su was one of the last to indicate his plea of guilt.

instead, the defence argued that su had indicated his plea of guilt on the same day that the prosecution had informed the court they were ready for the plea to be taken.

while the prosecution claimed that su wasted public resources by applying for some seized funds to be released for payment of basic expenses and causing the prosecution to review evidence to determine charges to proceed on for trial, the defence argued that the prosecution was not ready for the plea to be taken for more than nine months since su’s arrest.

the lawyers added that su’s agreement to forfeit about 95.5 per cent of his seized assets was among the highest compared with other offenders.

since most of the other eight offenders sentenced so far received between 13 and 15 months’ jail, there is “no reason” for the court to depart from that, the defence argued.

su will be sentenced on monday.

of the 10 arrested and charged in the probe, eight have been sentenced to jail terms of between 12 and 15 months. the last accused person, wang dehai, is set to plead guilty on friday.

30亿元洗钱案被告苏剑锋认罪 自愿充公近1.8亿元资产

30亿元洗钱案被告苏剑锋认罪，并自愿把约1亿7890万元的资产充公。苏剑锋是本案最后一个表示有意认罪的被告。

瓦努阿图籍的苏剑锋（36岁）共面对14项控状，其中四项抵触贪污、贩毒和严重罪案（没收利益）法令、八项涉及伪造文件意图欺骗，以及两项抵触雇用外来人力法令。他在星期四（6月6日）对其中两项认罪，余项交由法官下星期一（10日）下判时一并考量。

警方起获了苏剑锋和他妻子陈秋燕名下总值约1亿8700万元的资产，包括现金、房地产、加密货币和轿车等。苏剑锋同意在法庭下判后，将约95%的资产充公。

案情显示，一名台湾籍男子在2013年左右邀请苏剑锋加入非法线上赌博的生意，主要面向中国大陆的赌客。这盘生意主要经营各种在线赌博网站，让赌客用手机通过网页下注。

苏剑锋同意加入，先后在马来西亚吉隆坡和菲律宾马尼拉，负责经营赌博网站和管理工作人员，并为赌博网站打广告。

后来，苏剑锋要让孩子到新加坡求学，便安排孩子在2019年8月到新加坡生活，他则在2020年8月移居本地。

警方去年8月15日在武吉知马3道的优质洋房逮捕苏剑锋时，从他的保险箱搜出55万零903元的现金，全是非法线上赌博的赃款。

另外，苏剑锋的马来亚银行户头在2020年12月，从一家名为tuo xin you limited的公司接收了102万9970元和96万9970元的两笔款项。

当银行在2021年3月要求苏剑锋解释这些钱的来源时，他提交伪造的房地产出售合约，指称以485万元出售了在迪拜的一个公寓单位，但未注明货币单位。

调查揭露，苏剑锋指示一个叫“苏晓波”的人伪造上述合约以欺骗银行，掩盖这些钱的真正来源。

控方指苏剑锋为早日出狱才有意认罪

控方在庭上说，苏剑锋是本案最后一名表示有意认罪的被告。他在得知其他八名被告选择认罪和上缴大部分资产后可早日出狱，才在5月24日表明要认罪的意愿，显然没有悔意。

此外，苏剑锋涉及洗钱约1755万零903元，并伪造多份文件提交给四家银行，以证明约949万9870元的资金来源。控方因此要求法官判他坐牢17至18个月。

苏剑锋的代表律师是高级律师斯尼华申和拉温德然。针对控方指苏剑锋没有悔意，代表律师反驳称，苏剑锋分别在5月16和29日被加控，而他表明认罪的时间点落在认罪减刑指导原则的第一阶段，符合获30%减刑的条件，因此恳请法官判他坐牢14个月半。

法官在聆听控辨双方的陈词后，表示需要时间量刑，案展下星期一下判。

money laundering case: bulk of $3b worth of assets seized from 17 foreigners, not from 10 arrested

singapore – the $3 billion in cash and assets seized or issued with prohibition of disposal orders in singapore’s largest money laundering case belonged to 27 individuals, and not just the 10 hauled to court on various charges.

in response to queries from the straits times, the police on june 5 said 17 other individuals are under investigation in relation to the case.

the police added that they will maintain the prohibition against disposal and custody of seized assets until the assets are dealt with by the court at the conclusion of the case.

of the 10 foreigners arrested in a series of raids on aug 15, 2023, eight have been convicted and sentenced to between 13 and 15 months’ jail each.

two others – su jianfeng and wang dehai – are expected to plead guilty this week.

based on court documents and affidavits, the 10 foreigners arrested had accounted for more than $900 million in cash and assets seized or forfeited to the state.

this means the 17 other individuals are linked to around $2.1 billion in cash and assets.

st understands the suspects who fled the country amid the probe include su shuiming, 39, and su shuijun, 37.

more than $530 million in cash and assets, including 28 properties, were seized from both men after they fled the country.

the other suspects are su yongcan, 33, and wang huoqiang, 29, who had interpol red notices issued against them for money laundering offences, and su binghai and su fuxiang, who have both not been seen in singapore since september 2023.

st reported in december 2023 that su binghai left singapore abruptly as the commercial affairs department started digging into the network of relationships.

su binghai had business dealings both here and in hong kong with wang dehai, who faces money laundering charges and charges under the employment of foreign manpower act.

he is expected to plead guilty on june 7.

su binghai and su fuxiang are shareholders of new future holdings, the firm that nominated wang dehai for his membership to sentosa golf club.

st understands wang bingang, who made millions as the founder of the hongli gambling syndicate in china, is also among the 17 foreigners under investigation.

he was convicted in china in 2015 for being involved in a criminal organisation.

wang bingang’s cousin is wang baosen, who was sentenced to 13 months’ jail in april after admitting to two charges of money laundering.

as part of his plea offer, the 32-year-old forfeited his assets, worth around $8 million, to the state. he was deported to cambodia in may and is barred from re-entering singapore.

four other money launderers who were convicted have also been deported after completing their jail terms.

they are su wenqiang, su baolin and su haijin, who were deported to cambodia, and vang shuiming, who was deported to japan.

last $3b money laundering accused to plead guilty handed 4 more charges, including faking job titles

singapore – the last person in singapore’s largest money laundering case scheduled to plead guilty has been handed new charges alleging he faked his employment as a brand manager and business consultant.

cypriot national wang dehai, 35, was back in court on june 4 to receive four additional charges under the employment of foreign manpower act.

three charges were for allegedly faking job titles between 2018 and 2022, and one charge was for allegedly hiring a housekeeper without a valid work pass.

wang, who has been in remand for more than nine months since his arrest on aug 15, 2023, will be the last person in the case to plead guilty on june 7.

according to the new charges, between 2018 and 2022, wang conspired with su yongcan and one phua cheng wan to make three false statements relating to his application for a work pass.

phua, in his capacity as the director of a firm called craft digital, allegedly authorised his human resource department to apply for an employment pass on wang’s behalf.

these applications stated wang would be employed as a brand manager, or a business consultant of the firm, when he had no intention to work there.

su yongcan is wang’s brother-in-law. su yongcan, along with wang’s cousin wang huoqiang, have left singapore. warrants of arrest and interpol red notices have been issued against both men.

the fourth new charge claims wang dehai, with his wife su caihuang, hired a housekeeper for his condominium apartment at the marq on paterson hill, near orchard road, without a valid work pass from february 2019 to august 2023.

on june 4, a prosecutor from the ministry of manpower (mom) said in court that wang dehai’s plead guilty mention will go ahead as scheduled, and these four new charges will be taken into consideration during sentencing.

he previously faced two money laundering charges, and now faces six charges in total.
