5 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Some devices are also managed with Platypus, an open-source reverse-shell tool
OSX/CreativeUpdater was created using a legitimate developer tool called Platypus
The operators control the botnet through hidden Tor services, which also serve as command-and-control (C2) infrastructure. The open-source reverse-shell and host-management framework Platypus is also used in some cases.
A lightweight bash dropper handles infection: it detects the device’s processor type, downloads the matching payload, executes it, and deletes the file from disk.
Some devices are also managed through Platypus, an open-source remote shell tool, with the payload server at 149.248.3[.]38 hosting a Platypus instance on port 13339.
