Unveiling EncryptHub: Analysis of a multi-stage malware campaign

April 7, 2025, 11:07 a.m.

Description

EncryptHub, an emerging cybercriminal entity, has been conducting multi-stage malware campaigns using trojanized applications and third-party distribution services. Their tactics include using PowerShell scripts for system data gathering, information exfiltration, and payload deployment. The threat actor prioritizes stolen credentials based on cryptocurrency ownership and corporate network affiliation. EncryptHub is developing a remote access tool called 'EncryptRAT' with plans for future distribution. Their evolving killchain involves multiple stages, including initial execution, data exfiltration, system information collection, and eventual deployment of the Rhadamanthys malware. Despite operational security mistakes, EncryptHub continues to refine their tactics, emphasizing the need for vigilant cybersecurity measures.
