MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

8 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Initial Access

1 technique

T1133External Remote ServicesEvidence1

"...deploying remote access tools like Pulseway and MeshAgent."

Execution

3 techniques

T1053.005Scheduled TaskEvidence1

"create Windows Scheduled Tasks named JavaMainUpdate and MeshUserTask"

T1059.001PowerShellEvidence1

The message delivered a malicious VBS file that launched a PowerShell script... The researchers reported the attackers used a new “signing-as-a-service” method to deploy a stealthy ScreenConnect instance. A PowerShell chain bypassed controls, downloaded the installer, had it re-signed with a fraudulent but valid certificate, then installed it silently.

T1204User ExecutionEvidence1

“Posed as company IT and/or helpdesk staff to direct employees to run commercial remote access tools enabling initial access [T1204] [T1219] [T1566].”

Persistence

3 techniques

T1053.005Scheduled TaskEvidence1

"create Windows Scheduled Tasks named JavaMainUpdate and MeshUserTask"

T1133External Remote ServicesEvidence1

"...deploying remote access tools like Pulseway and MeshAgent."

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

After gaining access, they focused on persistence by installing multiple remote management tools. Over a month, they deployed several ScreenConnect instances along with Pulseway and SimpleHelp, ensuring continued access even if one tool was detected or removed.

Privilege Escalation

2 techniques

T1053.005Scheduled TaskEvidence1

"create Windows Scheduled Tasks named JavaMainUpdate and MeshUserTask"

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

Lateral Movement

1 technique

T1021Remote ServicesEvidence2

In another incident, attackers rapidly deployed legitimate Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, Pulseway and MeshAgent...

Command and Control

2 techniques

T1105Ingress Tool TransferEvidence2

JavaScript on the lure page fetches the PowerShell RAT live from a separate GCS staging bucket... the operator issues commands through the RAT to download and silently install ScreenConnect and Pulseway.

T1219Remote Access ToolsEvidence7

The operator issues commands through the RAT to download and silently install ScreenConnect... and Pulseway... Both RMMs establish independent, persistent remote access channels beyond the PowerShell RAT.

Dual-RMM Phishing and PowerShell RAT Campaign Hits SLTTs

Legitimate, signed remote monitoring and management software abused as a second persistent remote-access channel. Its installer exactly matches a payload used in the related February–March 2026 cargo-theft and freight-fraud campaign.
