REF4322 is an intrusion activity cluster affecting a Vietnam-based financial-services company. It overlaps with the related REF2754 campaign through deployment of the SPECTRALVIPER Windows backdoor on compromised endpoints, including systems previously associated with PHOREAL and PIPEDANCE activity. REF4322 and REF2754 have been assessed with moderate confidence as activity by a Vietnamese state-affiliated actor overlapping with Canvas Cyclone, APT32, and OceanLotus. SPECTRALVIPER is an obfuscated 64-bit Windows backdoor supporting encrypted HTTP and named-pipe command-and-control, payload loading, process hollowing and shellcode injection, file and directory manipulation, file transfer, token theft and impersonation, and process-privilege adjustment. Associated tooling includes DONUTLOADER, P8LOADER, and POWERSEAL. P8LOADER loads portable-executable payloads from memory or disk and can capture output and log API activity through named pipes. POWERSEAL executes PowerShell commands or scripts and incorporates AMSI and ETW bypass methods. Observed execution paths also included signed-binary proxy execution and DLL side-loading.
