Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
3 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
By placing the file in this directory, the attackers implement the DLL Sideloading technique — the ViPNet update system executable file itcsrvup64.exe, which is launched at OS startup, is susceptible to it. | On one of the analyzed systems, we identified a malicious file named wtsapi32.dll in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\InfoTeCS\VIPNet Update System.
If such a process is found, the loader injects itself into the target process using the NtWriteVirtualMemory and NtCreateThreadEx functions.

Loader delivered via ViPNet Update System DLL sideloading. It injects into svchost.exe, searches for a svchost process with 'netsvcs' in the command line, uses NtWriteVirtualMemory and NtCreateThreadEx for injection, and then loads and executes an embedded payload in memory.
A DLL sideloaded loader placed in the ViPNet Update System directory to achieve persistence, inject itself into svchost.exe, and load the next-stage payload from its body into memory.
