FIN6 is a threat actor associated with Russia and tracked under the aliases Camouflage Tempest, GOLD FRANKLIN, ITG08, Magecart Group 6, Skeleton Spider, Storm-0538, and TAAL. Its targeting includes organizations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, India, and Japan. Its documented intrusion techniques focus on Windows enterprise environments, including Active Directory infrastructure, SQL servers, and point-of-sale systems. FIN6 uses emails containing malicious attachments to target victims and relies on publicly available offensive tools and native Windows utilities during intrusions. Its toolkit includes Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Mimikatz, AdFind, Windows Credential Editor, and Stealer One. Credential-access activities include dumping Windows credentials, collecting passwords from email and file-transfer applications, and using Metasploit's PsExec NTDSGRAB module to copy a victim's Active Directory database. Stolen usernames and password hashes support lateral movement, including access through Remote Desktop Protocol. The group maps internal networks and performs reconnaissance against Active Directory, SQL servers, and NetBIOS. It has used tools targeting CVE-2013-3660, CVE-2011-2005, and CVE-2010-4398 to obtain kernel-level privileges. Persistence mechanisms include Registry Run keys for the HARDTACK and SHIPBREAD downloaders and scheduled tasks for those downloaders and FrameworkPOS. FIN6 also uses encoded PowerShell commands, scripts that disable security tools, and Metasploit Bind and Reverse TCP stagers.

Carberp has exploited CVE-2010-4398 for privilege escalation. CosmicDuke attempts to exploit privilege escalation vulnerabilities CVE-2010-0232 or CVE-2010-4398. FIN6 tools targeted CVE-2010-4398 to access kernel-level privileges.
FIN6 has used tools to exploit Windows vulnerabilities in order to escalate privileges. The tools targeted CVE-2013-3660, CVE-2011-2005, and CVE-2010-4398, all of which could allow local users to access kernel-level privileges.

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.
