Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
1 distinct threat actor attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
HLOADER is a self-signed Swift loader that masquerades as Discord, executes the legitimate renamed Discord binary and the .log SUGARLOADER payload, then restores the filenames.
7 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
The victim believed they were installing an arbitrage bot, a software tool designed to profit from cryptocurrency rate differences between platforms.
4 indicators attributed across vendor reports, sandbox runs, and researcher write-ups. Full values are available in Mallory.
File hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) from samples and reports.
3 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
A Mach-O persistence component that replaces the Discord executable, restores the legitimate binary at launch, and re-executes both Discord and SUGARLOADER to maintain repeated execution without relying on standard background login items.
macOS persistence loader that replaces Discord's executable, launches the genuine Discord application to reduce suspicion, and concurrently runs SUGARLOADER. It uses execution-flow hijacking and a code-signing technique previously linked to Lazarus Group activity.
A Swift-based persistence loader that replaces the legitimate Discord binary, temporarily renames files, launches both the real Discord app and SUGARLOADER, and then restores filenames. It is used to hijack Discord execution flow for persistence on macOS.
