Mustang Panda conducted a phishing campaign against Myanmar entities using a compromised embassy email. The lure involved a PDF with an embedded URL that delivered a ZIP archive containing a trojanized executable and malicious DLL. The malware disguised itself as a PDF, sideloaded the DLL, established persistence, and executed further payloads. It performed system reconnaissance, data exfiltration via SFTP, and defense evasion.

This detection identifies potential FakeCAPTCHA/ClickFix clipboard hijacking campaigns by looking for PowerShell execution with hidden window parameters and distinctive strings related to fake CAPTCHA verification. These campaigns use social engineering to trick users into pasting malicious PowerShell commands from their clipboard, typically delivering information stealers or remote access trojans.

This rule identifies and analyzes user interactions with URLs embedded in emails, specifically focusing on emails that are either inbound or intra-organizational. It determines which users clicked on URLs within these emails and provides a summary of this activity. This analysis is particularly useful in security contexts, where understanding user behavior regarding potentially risky links can help in identifying phishing attacks or other malicious activities.

This rule detects the installation of potentially unwanted or suspicious applications, specifically looking for a sponsored version of FileZilla. It then correlates this installation with outbound network activity to public IP addresses, which could indicate telemetry, beaconing, data exfiltration, or command and control (C2) behavior.

This detection identifies processes that have executed on a host in the last 7 days but were not observed in the previous 30 days. This is useful for detecting potentially malicious or anomalous activity, such as new software installations, LOLBins, or attacker tools introduced during a compromise.

Detects the mounting of an ISO file, a common technique used by threat actors, including the SLOW#TEMPEST campaign, to deliver malware. ISO files can bypass some security controls and require user interaction (double-clicking) to mount, after which malicious content can be executed.

This detection scenario focuses on the abuse of legacy .pif (Program Information File) extensions for malware delivery, execution, and persistence on Windows endpoints. Attackers may use .pif files, sometimes with deceptive double extensions or in user-writable folders, to execute arbitrary code, evade user scrutiny, or persist via the registry, exploiting the fact that .pif files are still natively executable on modern Windows systems.
Algorithm:
- Monitor for .pif file creation in user-writable folders (excluding well-known dev/test tools/processes and paths).

- Detect execution of any .pif file in user-writable folders.

- Detect suspicious child process launch (e.g., scripting engines or LOLBins) from a .pif parent process.

- Detect registry persistence attempts (Run/RunOnce) by .pif processes.

- Suppress false positives by excluding known dev/test folders and processes.

This package searches for evidence of Windows Shortcut (.lnk) files executing code to download a .wsf file from a remote WebDAV share hosted on a trycloudflare[.]com subdomain. This package searches in both web logs and endpoint process logs.
An ongoing malware campaign tracked as SERPENTINE#CLOUD has been identified as leveraging the Cloudflare Tunnel infrastructure and Python-based loaders to deliver memory-injected payloads through a chain of shortcut files and obfuscated scripts.
For initial access, the threat actors are luring users to execute malicious .lnk files (shortcut files) disguised as documents to silently fetch and execute remote code.
These payloads use cmd.exe to silently retrieve additional stages over WebDAV (via Cloudflare Tunnel subdomains) and invoke WSF or batch-based droppers.
trycloudflare[.]com allows a threat actor to expose a tunnel to the internet using legitimate infrastructure that will likely blend into benign traffic. trycloudflare dynamically generates subdomains formed of random words and so it's not enough to just look for such connections since they are also used by developers in testing. Therefore this search looks for further procedures attributed to the campaign.

In a ClickFix exploit, a command is silently copied to the clipboard when visiting a compromised web page. The user then pastes it into Windows Run believing it's a captcha or a system fix. The executed command is added to the RunMRU registry key which holds details of Windows Run Most Recently Used. This hunt is intended to identify ClickFix exploits by searching the RunMRU registry key value.
