•  The malware is delivered as a file named "Terms and conditions.msc," containing embedded PowerShell commands.
• The PowerShell script is executed in a hidden window (-WindowStyle Hidden), preventing user awareness.
• The script uses Invoke-Expression (iex) to execute code and Invoke-WebRequest (iwr) to download a malicious script from hxxps://0x0(.)st/Xyl7(.)txt.
• The downloaded data, encoded in hexadecimal, is decoded into a byte array.
• The decoded data is initially saved as an MP3 file (e.g., vBqz.mp3) in the system’s public documents folder.
• The MP3 file is then renamed to an executable file (e.g., vBqz.exe), disguising the payload as a media file.
• The executable is run using conhost.exe in the background with the -NoNewWindow option, ensuring it remains hidden.
• File Camouflage: The use of the MP3 extension initially disguises the executable file.
• Stealthy Execution: Utilizing system utilities like conhost.exe and executing commands in hidden windows help evade user detection and security software.
• Command-and-Control (C2) Infrastructure: The malware’s reliance on a public site for payload distribution suggests a flexible and easily reconfigurable C2 mechanism.
• Hexadecimal Encoding: The use of encoded data indicates potential obfuscation techniques; decoding this data can reveal more about the malware.
• Potential Variants: Different versions of this malware may exist, with variations in the payload or C2 URLs. Monitoring and updating detection rules, such as YARA, would be beneficial.
