MDR in Action: Preventing The More_eggs Backdoor From Hatching

Oct. 1, 2024, 10:22 a.m.

Description

A sophisticated spear-phishing attack led to a more_eggs backdoor infection at a company. The attack began with an email to a senior executive, followed by a recruitment officer downloading a fake resume. The malicious file, disguised as a resume, contained obfuscated commands that executed when opened. This resulted in the download and execution of the more_eggs backdoor. The malware performed system checks and communicated with a command-and-control server. Trend Micro's MDR team quickly identified and contained the threat using Vision One platform, isolating the infected host and blocking indicators. The incident is part of a broader campaign using the Golden Chickens malware toolkit, with two variations observed targeting various industries, particularly those with financial resources.
