abused to host initial downloader malware for all active subcampaigns. : Downloader responsible for sending additional malware samples to victim machines, hosted on Dropbox. : Victims download and execute malicious downloader from Dropbox disguised as legitimate software. : Infostealer malware delivered as second stage payload to steal credentials and system information. : Infostealer malware delivered as second stage payload to steal credentials and system information. : Cryptocurrency theft tool that monitors and replaces cryptocurrency wallet addresses in clipboard. : Malicious domain mimicking peerme.io platform for DAO creation and management on MultiversX blockchain. : Electron application downloader with CAPTCHA check to evade automated analysis, downloads second stage payloads from Dropbox. : CAPTCHA check implemented to prevent execution by automated dynamic analysis tools and sandboxes. : Dropbox URL hosting password-protected RAR archive containing second stage malware payloads. : URL serving byte array payload that is decoded, padded with 750000000 bytes, and executed. : Base64 decoding of configuration URLs and password extraction for RAR archive containing malware payloads. : C2 server receiving logging messages in Russian from TidyMe.exe downloader via HTTP POST requests. : HTTP POST requests used to send logging messages to C2 server with status updates in Russian language. : HijackLoader payload that performs process injection into cmd.exe and explorer.exe, delivering StealC infostealer as final stage. : Modular loader with UAC evasion, process injection techniques, and inline API hook evasion capabilities. : Shellcode injection chain starting with cmd.exe, then explorer.exe to evade detection and execute final StealC payload. : Windows command processor used as injection target for malicious shellcode. : Windows Explorer process used as final injection target for StealC infostealer payload. : Malware deletes itself after injecting shellcode into cmd.exe to remove forensic evidence. : StealC infostealer collects comprehensive system information including HWID, OS details, network info, installed applications, and process list. : Collection of network information including IP address and country location. : StealC captures screenshots of infected system as part of information collection. : StealC requests
