These queries was originally published in the threat analytics report, Attacks on gov't, think tanks, NGOs.
As described further in Analysis of cyberattack on U.S. think tanks, non-profits, public sector by unidentified attackers, there was a very large spear-phishing campaign launched in November 2019.
The attackers would gain access to a target by having the user click on a link to a compromised website and download a .zip archive.
Once established on a target's device, the attackers used a malicious DLL named cyzfc.dat to execute additional payloads. They would call a function in the malicious DLL via the legitimate Windows process, rundll32.exe, to connect directly to their command-and-control (C2) servers.
The following queries detect activity associated with the malicious DLL, cyzfc.dat., used in this campaign.

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Solorigate supply chain attack. Please note that these attacks are currently known as the Nobelium campaign.
Microsoft detects the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack implant and its other components as part of a campaign by the Nobelium activity group. Nobelium is the threat actor behind the attack against SolarWinds, which was previously referred to as Solorigate.
Nobelium silently added malicious code to legitimate software updates for Orion, which is IT monitoring software provided by SolarWinds. In this way, malicious dynamic link libraries (DLLs) were distributed to SolarWinds customers.
The following query locates malicious Nobelium-associated DLLs that have been created in the system or locally.
More Nobelium-related queries can be found listed under the See also section of this document.

Snip3 is a family of related remote access trojans. Although the malware in this family contain numerous small variations, they all exhibit similar behaviors and techniques.
The following query looks for the method that Snip3 malware use to obfuscate PowerShell commands with UTF8 encoding. This technique is intended to evade detection from security products, and avoids the more standard switches used for encoding in malware such as Emotet.
At present, this method of encoding is much more rare, being seen largely with loader installation of RevengeRAT, AsyncRAT and other RATs used in campaigns targeting the aviation industry.

User accounts may be created to achieve persistence on a machine.
Read more here: https://attack.mitre.org/wiki/Technique/T1136.
Tags: #CreateAccount.
Query #1: Query for users being created using "net user" command.
"net user" commands are noisy, so needs to be joined with another signal -.
E.g. in this example we look for use of uncommon & undocumented commandline switches (e.g. /ad instead of /add).

This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, OSX/Shlayer sustains adware push.
Shlayer is adware that spies on users' search terms, and redirects network traffic to serve the user attacker-controlled search results containing ads.
The following query locates activity associated with the Shlayer payload decrypter.
