MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

4 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Initial Access

1 technique
T1566.001Spearphishing AttachmentEvidence1

Such exploits often take the form of weaponized Office files, like malicious Excel add-in files (.XLL) or macro-laced documents, which can embed the Lumma payload and are designed to slip past email scanners and antivirus protections.

Execution

1 technique
T1204.002Malicious FileEvidence1

This means a Lumma affiliate could generate a trojanized file (such as an Excel .xll file or a malicious shortcut/URL file) that delivers the stealer while evading both email gateway scanning and endpoint antivirus protections.

Stealth

1 technique
T1027Obfuscated Files or InformationEvidence1

By leveraging @cryptexxx’s crypting service and exploit builder, the affiliate essentially outsources the difficult aspects of stealth and delivery.

Command and Control

1 technique
T1071.001Web ProtocolsEvidence1

"Hector ... communicates with its C2 server using HTTP, HTTPS or websockets"
