Good day everyone! The Microsoft Threat Intelligence team has discovered activity from a group known as #FlaxTyphoon. They are a nation-state group from China that targeted organizations in Taiwan. While the group leverages tools that are commonly used, like #ChinaChopper, #MetaSploit, and #Mimikatz, they also rely on abusing #LOLBINS, or Living-off-the-land binaries and scripts (tools that exist and come with the native operating system). Some of their TTPs include using registry key modification for persistence, using #powershell, #certutil, or #bitsadmin to download tools, and accessing #LSASS process memory and Security Account Manager registry hive for credential access. This is a great article that not only provides high-level details but it provides a starting point for any organization to start threat hunting by using the technical details provided! Enjoy your weekend and #HappyHunting!
