APT trends report Q1 2023
2023-04-27 • Kaspersky •
DTrack is a backdoor that has been used by Andariel (aka StonedFly and Silent Chollima), a subset of Lazarus, for almost a decade in a wide variety of attacks, including deploying ransomware as well as espionage malware. We observed a Lazarus campaign, active until January 2023, leveraging a backdoored UltraVNC client to deliver an updated BLINDINCAN payload. We have identified ongoing spear-phishing campaigns targeting Middle Eastern countries dating back to July 2021. In our latest private report, we revisited a campaign from 2022 and expanded on the commands the attackers used to deploy DTrack and the accompanying post-exploitation tools and malware (e.g., 3proxy and Yamabot) deployed thereafter.
