Eagle Werewolf is an espionage-focused threat cluster active since at least May 2023. The actor primarily targets state organizations, industrial companies, and individuals involved in UAV and drone manufacturing or engineering. Reporting also notes overlap between Eagle Werewolf and the cluster tracked as Armored Likho, based on similarities in tooling, persistence, tasking logic, and command-and-control patterns. Eagle Werewolf has used phishing and compromised Telegram channels to distribute malware through lures themed around Starlink device registration and drone training. Observed intrusion chains include staged Rust and Go droppers, the Rust-based AquilaRAT remote access trojan, and Go2Tunnel for reverse SSH tunneling. AquilaRAT has been used for persistent remote access, heartbeat communications, command execution, file upload, and file scanning. Associated tooling has also created hidden local user accounts, attempted to add them to the local Administrators group, hidden those accounts from the logon interface, and installed malware as a Windows service to maintain persistence. The cluster demonstrates capabilities spanning initial access, persistence, privilege escalation, credential and session theft, reconnaissance, command execution, exfiltration, and post-exploitation remote access. In related overlap reporting, similar operations used modular stealers and RATs capable of browser credential theft, cookie theft, Telegram session theft, screenshot capture, keylogging, document theft, and reverse tunneling. Eagle Werewolf is assessed as a cyber-espionage actor rather than a ransomware or extortion operation.
