SRA TIGR Adversary Tradecraft and Hunting Report

Adversaries leverage ClickFix social engineering, ClearFake etherhiding, and SNEAKY2FA AiTM phishing to deliver malware and hijack sessions.

Executive Summary

Security Risk Advisors (SRA) has identified several evolving threat campaigns, including 'ClickFix' delivery mechanisms and 'Payroll Pirate' session hijacking. The ClickFix campaign utilizes social engineering to trick users into executing commands, often via `finger.exe` or `tar.exe`, to stage Python-based payloads. The 'Payroll Pirate' campaign targets finance and HR personnel through AiTM session hijacking and Microsoft Graph API reconnaissance to facilitate unauthorized access.

Technical analysis also highlights 'ClearFake' campaigns using blockchain RPC services for malicious redirection and the 'SNEAKY2FA' phishing kit, which leverages Google Sites for staging. Additionally, Iranian-linked actors MuddyWater and Handala Hack are observed using specific discovery and reassembly techniques. These threats collectively represent a high risk for credential theft, session abuse, and initial access across various sectors including healthcare and finance.
