MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

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

Initial Access

1 technique

T1195Supply Chain CompromiseEvidence2

Sygnia’s findings confirmed this was a supply chain compromise... The issue did not appear in every single test run... suggesting that the binary was being pushed through the update distribution pipeline under specific conditions.

Execution

1 technique

T1053Scheduled Task/JobEvidence1

...creates a service with the name hola_monitor_svc, configured to autostart and run when the host is idle.

Persistence

3 techniques

T1053Scheduled Task/JobEvidence1

...creates a service with the name hola_monitor_svc, configured to autostart and run when the host is idle.

T1543.003Windows ServiceEvidence2

When run with administrative rights, the file copies itself to a new path within the Hola directory and registers itself as a Windows service named hola_monitor_svc. This service is set to autostart...

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

This service is set to autostart and activates specifically when the host machine is idle...

Privilege Escalation

3 techniques

T1053Scheduled Task/JobEvidence1

...creates a service with the name hola_monitor_svc, configured to autostart and run when the host is idle.

T1543.003Windows ServiceEvidence2

T1547Boot or Logon Autostart ExecutionEvidence1

This service is set to autostart and activates specifically when the host machine is idle...

Stealth

1 technique

T1036MasqueradingEvidence2

The file, named me.exe, was not part of the browser’s declared software package, and it appears to have been silently dropped onto users’ systems without their knowledge or consent.

Impact

1 technique

T1496Resource HijackingEvidence2

The me.exe binary appears to be based on XMRig, a well-known open-source crypto-mining tool... activates specifically when the host machine is idle... designed to run quietly in the background at all times.

Other

1 technique

T1562.001Disable or Modify ToolsEvidence2

To avoid detection, the binary also performed a Windows Defender exclusion, effectively asking the operating system to ignore its presence entirely.

Hola Browser for Windows Delivery Pipeline Compromised to Deliver Cryptominer - Cyber Security News

Sophos detection name for the undeclared me.exe cryptominer delivered via the compromised Hola Browser for Windows distribution pipeline. The binary was obfuscated, not code signed, could write to memory, created the hola_monitor_svc service for persistence, activated when the machine was idle, and performed a Windows Defender exclusion.
