Techniques & procedures

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

Initial Access

1 technique

T1566PhishingEvidence1

“Attackers then can choose to disseminate these links through phishing emails, social media or other channels. When unsuspecting users click the links, they inadvertently download malware directly from Discord's CDN…”

Execution

2 techniques

T1053Scheduled Task/JobEvidence1

Afterward, it executes a PowerShell script to achieve persistence. It creates a task scheduler entry to make the miner execute during startup.

T1053Scheduled Task/JobEvidence1

Afterward, it executes a PowerShell script to achieve persistence. It creates a task scheduler entry to make the miner execute during startup.

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

The malware generates a new directory named “ChromeUpdater” within the “AppData\Roaming” directory and executes in this location under the name “chrome.exe”. It then adds itself to the startup location to maintain persistence.

Cinoshi Project And The Dark Side Of Free MaaS - Cyble

A MaaS platform offering a free stealer and paid botnet, clipper, and cryptominer capabilities. The stealer harvests browser credentials, cookies, cards, crypto-wallet data, and sessions from Steam, Telegram, and Discord; captures screenshots and webcam photos; exfiltrates data to C2; maintains persistence; includes clipper functionality to swap cryptocurrency wallet addresses and Steam trade links; and can download and deploy a miner payload.
