IAP, or Intercept Access Point, is a form of malware that has been identified in various versions of Lenovo and Digi One devices. The malware is known to affect numerous models including the ideapad S540-13ARE, ideapad S540-13ITL, Lenovo Slim 7 16IAH7, IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro-14IHU5, ideapad Slim 7-14ARE05, ThinkBook 14 G4 IAP, and many others. It's also prevalent in the Digi One IAP Family across all versions. IAP can infiltrate systems through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often unbeknownst to the user, causing disruption to operations, stealing personal information, or even holding data hostage for ransom. The structure of IAP comprises two main elements: the access plane and the agent. The access plane’s authentication and proxy components channel sessions to each registered agent, centralizing access rules rather than setting them individually for each resource such as a server or cluster. This approach supersedes conventional VPN-based access control systems and employs context-sensitive and identity-conscious authentication and authorization, making IAP a significant threat to secure environments accessible over HTTPS. While Dreambot is one of the most active and prevalent Ursnif variants, there are other active forks including “IAP”. Despite its malicious use, the term IAP also refers to legitimate security solutions such as the Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) and certifications like the Internal Audit Practitioner (IAP). However, the malware variant poses a serious risk to users and organizations, necessitating immediate attention and mitigation strategies.
