Attack Screening

Users can conduct self-examination according to the officially released IoC to check whether their own systems are under attack.

1. Check that the following log entries are present in the system:

type=”event” subtype=”system” level=”information” vd=”root” logdesc=”Admin login successful” sn=”1733486785″ user=”admin” ui=”jsconsole” method=”jsconsole” srcip=1.1.1.1 dstip=1.1.1.1 action=”login” status=”success” reason=”none” profile=”super_admin” msg=”Administrator admin logged in successfully from jsconsole”
type=”event” subtype=”system” level=”information” vd=”root” logdesc=”Object attribute configured” user=”admin” ui=”jsconsole(127.0.0.1)” action=”Add” cfgtid=1411317760 cfgpath=”system.admin” cfgobj=”vOcep” cfgattr=”password[*]accprofile[super_admin]vdom[root]” msg=”Add system.admin vOcep”

2. Check the system for any of the following abnormal operations recently:

(1) Create an administrator account on the device using a random user name

(2) Create a local user account on the device using a random user name

(3) Create a user group or add the above local users to the existing sslvpn user group.

(4) Add/change other settings (such as firewall policy, firewall address, etc.)

(5) Use the local user added above to log in to sslvpn to obtain the tunnel to the internal network.

3. Check whether the FortiGate is connected to the following suspicious IP address:

  • 45.55.158.47
  • 87.249.138.47
  • 155.133.4.175
  • 37.19.196.65
  • 149.22.94.37
