Threat actors are focusing on collecting valuable information and gaining control over infrastructure.

𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰
The campaign distributes phishing emails that lead targets to download malicious LNK files disguised as PDFs. These files are accessed via a domain masquerading as LogicalDOC, a widely used documentation management service in the manufacturing sector.

After executing the malicious LNK file, a series of PowerShell scripts lead to the deployment of the final payloads, Lumma and Amadey.
Attackers also use DLL sideloading to run malicious code in memory without leaving traces.
