Loading malware…
Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
9 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
the malicious macro code injects and loads an embedded shellcode in the memory of the WINWORD.exe process directly... For the final stage of the infection, DOWNIISSA creates an instance of msiexec.exe and injects the LODEINFO backdoor shellcode in the memory of the process.
It contains a one-byte XOR-encrypted LODEINFO shellcode... The embedded BLOB is divided into four-byte chunks... then decode the LODEINFO shellcode using a one-byte XOR key... some important strings are found with a one-byte XOR encryption.
The attackers exploited the name of a well-known Japanese politician... The file name and the decoy document suggest the target was the Japanese ruling party or a related organization.

The content repeatedly describes adversaries and malware deleting files, directories, droppers, scripts, logs, archives, staged data, and other artifacts from compromised systems, e.g., 'APT29 has used SDelete to remove artifacts from victim networks' and 'Lazarus Group malware has deleted files in various ways, including "suicide scripts" to delete malware binaries from the victim.'
