FIN6 is a financially motivated cybercrime group associated with payment-card theft and intrusions affecting merchants, e-commerce environments, and the financial sector. It is also tracked as Camouflage Tempest, Gold Franklin, ITG08, Magecart Group 6, Skeleton Spider, Storm-0538, and TAAL. The group has used phishing emails with malicious attachments for initial access, then leveraged PowerShell and Metasploit-based tooling to execute downloaded shellcode and access merchant networks. FIN6 has established persistence through Windows Scheduled Tasks and Registry Run keys, including for HARDTACK, SHIPBREAD, and FrameworkPOS. It has used Stealer One to collect credentials from web browsers, AdFind for directory reconnaissance, and scripts to iterate across compromised point-of-sale systems, aggregate payment-card data, exfiltrate it, and remove original data. FIN6 has also used malicious JavaScript in e-commerce compromises to steal payment-card information and has disabled security tooling to evade detection.

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.
