Description

A Russian-speaking threat group, UAT-5647, has been conducting attacks against Ukrainian government entities and Polish targets since late 2023. The group has evolved its toolset to include four distinct malware families: RustClaw and MeltingClaw downloaders, DustyHammock backdoor, and ShadyHammock backdoor. The attacks involve spear-phishing campaigns delivering these malware components, which ultimately lead to the deployment of an updated version of the RomCom malware called SingleCamper. UAT-5647's activities suggest a focus on establishing long-term access for data exfiltration, with potential for future ransomware deployment. The group's tactics include network reconnaissance, lateral movement, and attempts to compromise edge devices for evasion purposes.
