Executive Overview — What We’re Dealing With

This specimen has persisted long enough to matter. Human experts classified it as Malware, and the telemetry confirms a capable, evasive Trojan with real impact potential.

Extended Dwell Time Impact

For 5+ hours, this malware remained undetected — a limited but sufficient window for the adversary to complete initial execution and establish basic system access.

Global Detection Posture — Who Caught It, Who Missed It

VirusTotal engines: 73. Detected as malicious: 19. Missed: 54. Coverage: 26.0%.

Why it matters: if any endpoint relies solely on a missed engine, this malware can operate with zero alerts. Prevention‑first controls close that gap regardless of signature lag.

Behavioral Storyline — How the Malware Operates

Intensive file system activity (44.18% of behavior) indicates data harvesting, file encryption, or dropper behavior. The threat is actively searching for and manipulating files across the system.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

• T1083 – get common file path
• T1112 – delete registry key
• T1083 – check if file exists
• T1012 – query or enumerate registry key
• T1070.006 – Binary compilation timestomping detected
• T1070 – Binary compilation timestomping detected
• T1539 – Touches a file containing cookies, possibly for information gathering
• T1082 – Checks available memory
• T1071 – Terminates another process
• T1106 – Guard pages use detected – possible anti-debugging.
• T1129 – The process attempted to dynamically load a malicious function
• T1129 – The process tried to load dynamically one or more functions.
• T1057 – The process has tried to detect the debugger probing the use of page guards.
• T1045 – Manalize Local SandBox Packer Harvesting
• T1057 – The process attempted to detect a running debugger using common APIs
• T1012 – The process tried to collect informations about the system reading some known registry keys
• T1082 – The process tried to collect informations about the system reading some known registry keys
• T1116 – The binary has an invalid Authenticode signature.

Following the Trail — Network & DNS Activity

Outbound activity leans on reputable infrastructure (e.g., CDNs, cloud endpoints) to blend in. TLS sessions and
HTTP calls show routine beaconing and IP‑lookup behavior that can masquerade as normal browsing.

Hunting tip: alert on unknown binaries initiating TLS to IP‑lookup services or unusual CDN endpoints — especially early in execution.
