T1071Application Layer ProtocolEvidence1

GLOOXMAIL communicates to servers operated by Google using the Jabber/XMPP protocol. Magic Hound malware can use a SOAP Web service to communicate with its C2 server. Sandworm Team has used the Telegram Bot API from Telegram Messenger to send and receive commands to its Python backdoor.

T1071.005Publish/Subscribe ProtocolsEvidence1

T1102Web ServiceEvidence2

The adversaries had communicated to both Dropbox and Pastebin. APT28 has used Google Drive for C2. APT37 leverages social networking sites and cloud platforms (AOL, Twitter, Yandex, Mediafire, pCloud, Dropbox, and Box) for C2.
