New Op Report: a live DPRK linked operator ran a full "PolinRider" supply chain intrusion inside it. Package lure → JS C2 → Python stealer → persistence disguised as a .NET service. Not a signature feed. The operator, captured live.

#Gootloader /Expl was the latest target of Operation Endgame! I put together a blog on how I/we got here gootloader.wordpress.com/202…

Thanks to @malbeacon 's DeceptionPro, we got another stage and a new C2. The next stage, if installed on a server, copies itself to hosts that RDP to the server. See details in the blog post: rogueauthority.org/signed-ie… C2: work.nddswa[.]com
EV "Hangzhou Yueque Li Technology Co., Ltd." signing two Gh0st RAT variants. h/t @malwrhunterteam First: Golden Gh0st RAT from GoldenEyeDog: rogueauthority.org/signed-ie… (Image: Golden Gh0st Rat lure from July) Second: GodRat: rogueauthority.org/signed-wi…

🩸 KongTuke ClickFix → an EtherRAT that reads its C2 off the Ethereum blockchain. No registrar, no takedown. Then hands-on-keyboard to SystemBC. 12 days, captured live w/ full TLS inspection.

New Op Report with @proofpoint PackClient, a new C2 framework from Chinese speaking actor TA4922, detonated in a live DeceptionPro honeynet. The RAT was just the doorman. 4.5 hours in, the operator enrolled the victim into an attacker owned ManageEngine Endpoint Central server.

New Op Report: an operator took the bait on one of our honeynets and ran the whole chain. Phishing lure to batch script to silent ScreenConnect install, hands-on-keyboard then XLoader / FormBook. Interactive RMM + automated stealer in one op. Not a pairing we'd seen before.

Mustang Panda walked into two DeceptionPro environments and stayed for days. IBM X-Force wrote it all up: a brand new hidden VNC backdoor (Havencode), Toneshell v10 over WebSockets, a full exfil playbook, and typos in the shell proving a human was typing.

Proofpoint baited a cargo/transport industry threat actor into performing its activities in a decoy environment operated by Deception.Pro for 30+ days. The result: rare, visibility into post‑compromise operations, tooling, and decision‑making. proofpoint.com/us/blog/threa…

New @Proofpoint blog: cargo theft actor spent 30 days inside DeceptionPro environment revealing: * 4 RMM tools * Malicious code signing-as-a-service * 13+ PowerShell scripts, and bank access. * HoK activity whole way. This is real adversary telemetry. Link in thread.

ClickFix isn’t “just a trick”—it’s an on-ramp to hands-on-keyboard ops. We mapped EDR telemetry to a timeline tied to Velvet Tempest + activity consistent w/ Termite ransomware tradecraft. IOCs + defender takeaways inside. link in thread..
