New features discovered by this technical analysis include increased dropper file size, droppers are always signed with legitimate certificates, a switch back to executables instead of MSI files. Furthermore, the backdoor is now loaded into the dropper process instead of the Powershell process upon first time execution.Analyst Comment: Never click on suspicious links, always inspect the url for any anomalies.

Monitor network traffic to assist in the discovery of non standard outbound connections which may indicate c2 activi ..
