Loading threat actor…
admin@338 is a China-linked threat actor associated with the LOWBALL malware and the BUBBLEWRAP second-stage backdoor. The group has used spearphishing emails carrying malicious Microsoft Office documents and has attempted to induce recipients to execute malicious Word attachments. Following compromise with LOWBALL, its operators performed host and network reconnaissance using Windows command-shell commands to identify operating-system details, local network configuration, and files and directories. The group also renamed tooling to resemble a benign executable, consistent with masquerading for defense evasion. BUBBLEWRAP is configured to run at system boot and supports plug-in checking, uploading, and registration, enabling extensible post-compromise functionality and persistence.

This detection identifies instances where Windows Explorer.exe spawns PowerShell or cmd.exe processes, particularly focusing on executions initiated by LNK files. This behavior is associated with the ZDI-CAN-25373 Windows shortcut zero-day vulnerability, where specially crafted LNK files are used to trigger malicious code execution through cmd.exe or powershell.exe. This technique has been actively exploited by multiple APT groups in targeted attacks through both HTTP and SMB delivery methods.
