WOW 🚨 While Everyone Was Distracted With The Super Bowl The FBI & The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency Quietly Published “Joint Guidance On How To Live Off The Land”
They Know Something’s About To Happen: Warning Of Coming Attacks By China As They’re Letting Chinese Illegal Immigrants Into Our Country
“Warning about attacks on critical infrastructure by groups allegedly connected to the Chinese PRC government”
“I know a lot of people are going to be watching the Super Bowl this weekend, and it's a great distraction because the FBI and the cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency of the United States of America have just recently, uh, released a joint guidance, about, um, how to live off the land. It stated that this is a response 2 publications of reaction to recent warnings about attacks on critical infrastructure by groups allegedly connected to the Chinese PRC government. The FBI recently used a court order to remove malware from hundreds of route orders across the US because it believed the attack was the work of an advanced persistent threat group known as Volt Typhoon. US officials said that the botnet designed to give Chinese attackers persistent access to the critical infrastructure. Routing their traffic through these gateways would hide the actual origin of malicious attempts to reach inside utilities and other targets.
In May of 2023, Microsoft uncovered stealthy and targeted malicious activity by Volt Typhoon. The activity focused on post compromised credential access and network system discovery aimed at critical critical infrastructure organizations in the United States. They are preparing the United States citizens for a domestic attack. It is your duty to stay informed and be prepared. As a United States citizen, do not be a victim in this case.”

Identifying and Mitigating Living Off the Land Techniques

This Joint Guidance, Identifying and Mitigating Living Off the Land Techniques, was co-authored by CISA, the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the following agencies:
Identifying and Mitigating Living Off the Land Techniques provides threat detection information and mitigations applicable to LOTL activity, regardless of threat actor. Many organizations do not implement security best practice capabilities that support detection of living off the land (LOTL), so this technique continues to be effective with little to no investment in tooling by malicious cyber actors. This guidance provides several observed network defense weaknesses that make it difficult for IT administrators to distinguish malicious activity from legitimate behavior, even for those organizations with more mature cyber postures.
This guidance is based on previously published products, red team assessments, and/or observations from incident response activities at critical infrastructure organizations, including those compromised by the PRC state-sponsored cyber group known as Volt Typhoon. For more on Volt Typhoon specifically, refer to our Joint Cybersecurity Advisory PRC State-Sponsored Actors Compromise and Maintain Persistent Access to U.S. Critical Infrastructure.
CISA and its partners strongly urge critical infrastructure organizations and technology manufacturers to read the joint advisory and guidance to defend against this threat.
It's certainly forgivable. What a weird term to use. I was pretty excited by your post as I'm currently trying to "live off the land". Guidance from government is not something I ever thought I'd get.
