Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
2 distinct threat actors attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
Backdoor.Mistic is a stealthy backdoor observed in cybercrime intrusions since April 2026 and is suspected to be linked to the Woodgnat (KongTuke) initial access broker.
A newly discovered remote access Trojan (RAT) called Backdoor.Mistic (Mistic backdoor), tracked by Zscaler as MLTBackdoor, is helping hackers infiltrate corporate networks.
15 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Mistic provides attackers with typical capabilities, including ... code execution.
Once an employee falls for the trick, a multi-stage PowerShell chain downloads the malware.
loaded from a DLL named EndpointDlp.dll, a name associated with Microsoft endpoint-security tooling. This would help the backdoor blend in with trusted software... Persistence is established through several redundant mechanisms, including Run-key entries that masquerade as legitimate remote-access software, using names such as AnyDesk, Splashtop and Comms.
If the scammers think they may get caught, they use a built-in kill switch to make the malware delete itself instantly.
Using DLL sideloading, fileless in-memory execution, and self-deletion capabilities, it establishes long-term covert access while evading detection.

A stealthy backdoor used in cybercrime intrusions that employs DLL sideloading, fileless in-memory execution, and self-deletion to establish long-term covert access while evading detection.
A newly detected remote access trojan used to infiltrate corporate networks, manage files, display fake login screens to steal passwords, and maintain stealth via DLL sideloading, memory-only execution, and a self-delete kill switch.
A stealthy backdoor first seen in April 2026 that is side-loaded via a legitimate executable and malicious DLL, executes payloads directly in memory, supports file operations, command execution from C2, and includes a self-delete kill switch for low-visibility persistence.
A stealthy backdoor launched via DLL sideloading through MpExtMs.exe and a malicious EndpointDlp.dll. It executes payloads directly in memory, supports file operations, command polling changes, and includes a self-delete kill switch for low-visibility, durable access.
