New Op Report: a live DPRK linked operator ran a full "PolinRider" supply chain intrusion inside it. Package lure → JS C2 → Python stealer → persistence disguised as a .NET service.
Not a signature feed. The operator, captured live.

New Op Report with @proofpoint PackClient, a new C2 framework from Chinese speaking actor TA4922, detonated in a live DeceptionPro honeynet.
The RAT was just the doorman. 4.5 hours in, the operator enrolled the victim into an attacker owned ManageEngine Endpoint Central server.

New Op Report: an operator took the bait on one of our honeynets and ran the whole chain.
Phishing lure to batch script to silent ScreenConnect install, hands-on-keyboard then XLoader / FormBook.
Interactive RMM + automated stealer in one op. Not a pairing we'd seen before.
New blog: EDR telemetry links a ClickFix-style lure to Velvet Tempest → hands-on-keyboard activity consistent w/ Termite ransomware tradecraft.
Timeline + IOCs + defender takeaways (hunts/detections/hardening).

Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tooling is taking over the cybercrime landscape. And it keeps growing. 🤖
In partnership with DeceptionPro, we observed follow-on activity from a Bluetrait campaign in an environment built to resemble a travel company.
The result? Even more RMMs. blog.deception.pro/blog/hok-…

Indtroducing: What is this stealer?
A new repository that allows for you to identify Stealer malware by the system information text file format commonly included in stealer malware exfiltration.
We encourage everyone to check it out and contribute!

If you use 3CX software, I highly recommend looking for these indicators and also looking for suspicious activity from any 3CX processes. If you aren't sure if you use this software, check! reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/com…

If you are an org that is using AteraAgent for remote administration, you should consider alerting on all emails that don't match your org's domain.
Here is the Emotet report:

Pretty apparent that indicator feeds are having a hard time spotting the actual #formbook / #xLoader C2s amongst the decoys..
🤔🤔🤔🤔
