RedCurl is a Russian-speaking corporate cyber-espionage group active since at least 2018. Also tracked as Red Wolf, Earth Kapre, and Gold Blade, it conducts long-duration intrusions—often lasting two to six months—to exfiltrate internal corporate information rather than deploy ransomware or steal funds. Its victims span construction, finance, consulting, retail, insurance, and legal organizations in Canada, Germany, Norway, Russia, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. RedCurl commonly conducts target research using public sources and gains initial access through spearphishing emails impersonating internal HR communications, often using employee-benefit or company-news themes. It has used malicious disk images and shortcut files to induce execution of DLL payloads, followed by deployment of the FSABIN backdoor. The group uses custom tooling alongside selected public utilities, avoids widely used post-exploitation frameworks, and employs PowerShell, scheduled-task persistence, system and domain-account reconnaissance, automated collection, and HTTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, DNS, and cloud-service communications. The group collects host, infrastructure, drive, account, and corporate data, targeting business emails, personnel records, legal-entity documentation, court records, and other sensitive internal materials. It has used LaZagne to obtain credentials from browser stores, files, and the Windows Registry. RedCurl also uses defense-evasion measures including hidden file attributes, encrypted strings, anti-virtualization checks, and scheduled tasks masquerading as legitimate browser-related components.
