1641263236908736512 @vxunderground @CrowdStrike @Sophos @ESET @PaloAltoNtwks @SentinelOne @malwrhunterteam Imagine getting this level of access and being trash at writing malware that it gets caught in a single day. They should have done this low and slow, migrate out of the primary msi or updater and extract creds at random times after execution to avoid instant attribution 14
1639102653673222148 A wonderful event today with @meetC2C and @googlecloud. Informative discussions with @Pythian, @Workspot, @SADA, and @PaloAltoNtwks, finishing with a fantastic fireside chat moderated by @kelseyhightower. Thanks for the learns! https://t.co/OAoZ58e467 13

1641263773070635008 @Laughing_Mantis @CrowdStrike @Sophos @ESET @PaloAltoNtwks @SentinelOne @malwrhunterteam Based on forum reports, it looks like the attack began March 23rd, or possibly earlier. Companies marked the application as 'safe', because it was digitally signed, and assumed a false positive. 10
