The attack group delivered a malicious Excel file designed to mimic the target’s internal financial records. The lure appeared as a legitimate spreadsheet containing payment details and cash flow projections.
The infected document included specific references to “Engineering, Construction & Marine Services” and used local currency (AED), along with realistic transaction descriptions such as “Payroll Payments via WPS,” making it highly convincing to the target.

In this campaign, the blurred document lure delivers a new payload as a custom HTTP backdoor.
The initial campaign targeted project engineers using industry-specific terminology for subsea pipelines. The lure document was blurred in order to deceive targets into clicking “Enable Content,” thereby triggering the execution of the embedded macro.
To maintain persistence, the group has evolved its development approach by leveraging AI-generated code and Rust-based tools, such as the BlackBeard backdoor, to rapidly deploy custom implants. Additionally, the group uses standard HTTP status codes, customized UDP based traffic, and the Telegram API for C2 communications.
