Daggerfly

Also known asBRONZE HIGHLANDDaggerflyEvasive PandaStormBamboo

Daggerfly is a threat actor also referred to in the provided content as Bronze Highland, Evasive Panda, and StormBamboo. The content associates Daggerfly with several supply chain compromises in which malicious updates were used to compromise victims, including compromise of web servers hosting software updates as part of a supply chain intrusion. Reported tradecraft includes use of HTTP for command-and-control communication; use of victim operating system information to create custom User-Agent strings for subsequent command-and-control traffic; use of PowerShell to download and execute remotely hosted files; attempted use of scheduled tasks for persistence in victim environments; use of Reg to dump the SAM, System, and Security registry hives from victim machines; and use of signed but not notarized malicious files for execution in macOS environments.
