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.
Backdoor.PowerExchange: PowerShell-based malware that can log into an Exchange Server with hardcoded credentials and monitor for emails sent by the attackers. It uses an Exchange Server as a C&C.
5 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
The first evidence of malicious activity on the target’s network occurred on February 1, 2023, when an unknown PowerShell script (file name: joper.ps1) was executed... Backdoor.Tokel: Has the ability to execute arbitrary PowerShell commands... Trojan.Dirps: Used to enumerate all files in a directory and execute PowerShell commands.

If an attachment is detected, it will decode it using Base64 and run it via PowerShell... uf: Decodes the file path and the file contents using Base64 and calls WriteAllBytes to write the file to the system... On September 1, the attackers used Certutil to download Plink to each machine.
