MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

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

Command and Control

4 techniques
T1071Application Layer ProtocolEvidence1

Popa appears designed with a singular purpose: Implementing a persistent communications layer capable of registering a device, maintaining long-lived encrypted connections, and opening communication tunnels on demand.

T1090.003Multi-hop ProxyEvidence1

Popa appears designed with a singular purpose: Implementing a persistent communications layer capable of registering a device, maintaining long-lived encrypted connections, and opening communication tunnels on demand.

T1105Ingress Tool TransferEvidence1

Google, HUMAN Security and Trend Micro teamed up to disrupt Badbox 2.0, a botnet that is closely associated with Vo1d... immediately after that disruption, several dozen new domains were registered to serve as controllers for the Popa botnet.

T1568Dynamic ResolutionEvidence1

XLAB flagged at least nine domain names that were used to register and direct the activities of compromised devices... Qurium said it found several dozen domains used to control Popa... including gmslb[.]net, safernetwork[.]io, tera-home[.]com, and ninjatech[.]io.
