MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

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

Execution

3 techniques

T1059Command and Scripting InterpreterEvidence1

The victim ran the Python script (main.py)... a file named watcher.py... downloads the content and saves it to a file in ./_log/testSpeed.py.

T1059.006PythonEvidence3

Main.py acts as the initial trigger, importing Watcher.py as a module that indirectly executes the script.

T1204.002Malicious FileEvidence1

The victim manually ran the Main.py script via their PyCharm IDE Python interpreter.

Stealth

1 technique

T1070.004File DeletionEvidence2

Upon completion of the execution, the file is deleted to cover its tracks.

Command and Control

1 technique

T1105Ingress Tool TransferEvidence1

Watcher.py... fetches content from [a] Google Drive URL... written into the testSpeed.py file. testSpeed.py... fetches another Python file... FinderTools... downloading and executing... .sld.
