Space Pirates, also tracked as Erudite Mogwai and referred to as Webworm, is an Asian advanced persistent threat group associated with espionage-oriented intrusions against Russian government organizations and information technology companies. Its activity includes the deployment of LuckyStrike Agent against Russian IT organizations in 2024. A specific country of origin or state sponsor has not been established by the available evidence. LuckyStrike Agent is a modular .NET backdoor that uses AppDomain Manager Injection to load malicious code through a legitimate Microsoft application. It abuses Microsoft OneDrive through the Microsoft Graph API for command-and-control, task delivery, and data transfer. Its capabilities include host reconnaissance, shell command execution, file upload and download, directory and drive enumeration, plugin execution, and arbitrary .NET assembly execution. Encrypted payloads, configuration, and communications help conceal its operation. The malware has also been identified as NetDraft or NosyDoor in overlapping tooling research; shared malware does not establish that Space Pirates is the same actor as UAT-8302 or LongNosedGoblin.
