UNC3810

Also known asunc3810

UNC3810 is a GRU-linked threat actor associated with disruptive operations in Ukraine. In the referenced activity, UNC3810 modified Group Policy Objects (GPOs) across a Windows domain to launch scheduled tasks that executed the CADDYWIPER wiper for disruptive effect. The actor used TANKTRAP to create Group Policy Preference files, including Files.xml to retrieve CADDYWIPER from the domain controller and Scheduledtasks.xml to create the scheduled task for execution. CADDYWIPER is described as the GRU’s most frequently observed disruptive tool in Ukraine and overwrites file contents and partitions on physical drives with null bytes. In the October 2022 incident described, UNC3810 first staged an x64 CADDYWIPER sample that was blocked by local antivirus, then recompiled and dropped an x32 variant and attempted to exclude it from antivirus scanning. The operation had extremely limited impact due to incompatible GPO settings, OS/version mismatches, lack of preparation and reconnaissance, and effective defender actions. The reporting also describes coordination between UNC3810 and the Telegram persona “CyberArmyofRussia_Reborn,” which claimed responsibility and advertised victim data while exaggerating the success of the wiper attack. Known alias in the provided content: unc3810.
