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.
Jewelbug campaigns rely on three primary, custom malware implants. There's a Windows backdoor, "Antino," and a Linux backdoor, "ClientKing," most often seen in cyber-espionage attacks.
10 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
In its largest operation, a single planted script placed a watering-hole on more than 15 government webmail tenants in a Middle Eastern country at once.
Antino is the group's Windows backdoor and the payload behind a wave of malicious HTML Application (HTA) downloaders, themed on current geopolitical events... The lure in Figure 2 is attempting to impersonate an invitation to an event run by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The APT group performs both functions from a single, custom command-and-control (C2) panel... Whether spying or stealing, Jewelbug group members manage their various infections from a platform called "XG-Web."
Once running, Antino uses the Microsoft Graph API as its C&C channel, hiding its traffic inside legitimate Microsoft cloud services... the backend created a public Google Document, wrote an obfuscated payload into the body, and had implants fetch the documents and execute the payloads.

Windows backdoor used by Jewelbug, delivered via HTA downloaders and fake Adobe Flash/Adobe installers. It beacons through the Microsoft Graph API for command-and-control and is installed as the on-host payload in the observed campaigns.
A custom Windows backdoor used by Jewelbug, primarily in cyber-espionage operations. It was delivered via fake Adobe Flash update prompts in at least one campaign.
