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 17+ hours, this malware remained undetected — a half-day window that permitted the adversary to complete initial execution, establish basic persistence, and perform initial system enumeration.

Global Detection Posture — Who Caught It, Who Missed It

VirusTotal engines: 73. Detected as malicious: 44. Missed: 29. Coverage: 60.3%.

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 (50.91% 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

• T1027 – encode data using XOR
• T1056.001 – log keystrokes via polling
• T1115 – open clipboard
• T1027.005 – contain obfuscated stackstrings
• T1129 – link function at runtime on Windows
• T1083 – get common file path
• T1115 – read clipboard data
• T1129 – link many functions at runtime
• T1071 – Reads from the memory of another process
• T1027 – encode data using XOR
• T1056.001 – log keystrokes via polling
• T1115 – open clipboard
• T1115 – read clipboard data
• T1129 – link function at runtime on Windows
• T1083 – get common file path
• T1129 – link many functions at runtime
• T1056 – The process behaves as a keylogger (keyboard capturing detected)
• T1027.005 – contain obfuscated stackstrings
• T1063 – It Tries to detect injection methods

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.
