FIN7 is a financially motivated Russian cybercrime group also known as Carbon Spider, Elbrus, FIN_7, G0046, GOLD NIAGARA, ITG14, and Sangria Tempest. The group has conducted intrusion activity using spearphishing attachments and mailed malicious USB devices disguised as legitimate packages. Its BadUSB operations used keyboard-emulation and keystroke injection to execute hidden PowerShell payloads, including in-memory download-and-execution staging. FIN7 has used malware including POWERPLANT and GRIFFON, deployed Cobalt Strike, created scheduled tasks for persistence, and downloaded additional payloads through PowerShell. The group has conducted screen capture and desktop video recording and has exfiltrated data through the MEGA cloud-storage service. FIN7 expanded its criminal operations to include ransomware, although the available information does not establish the specific encryption or extortion model used. FIN7-associated activity has also included AvNeutralizer, which tampered with endpoint-security software through abuse of legitimate Windows drivers.

The Checkmarks platform, developed by the FIN7 group as an automated attack system primarily aimed at exploiting public-facing Microsoft Exchange servers. The platform conducts extensive scanning and exploitation by leveraging the ProxyShell exploit, which takes advantage of CVE-2021-34473, CVE-2021-34523 and CVE-2021-31207 vulnerabilities.

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.
