2 distinct threat actors attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
This operator still uses the un-cleaned DarkMe builder (Italian strings intact), supplements it with commodity QuasarRAT rather than the custom PikoloRAT the main WaterHydra team uses, and relies on GitHub for payload staging rather than WebDAV shares.
3 indicators attributed across vendor reports, sandbox runs, and researcher write-ups. Full values are available in Mallory.
IPs, domains, and DNS infrastructure linked to this family.
File hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) from samples and reports.
2 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
A custom RAT referenced as the malware used by the main WaterHydra team instead of commodity QuasarRAT. No further technical detail is provided in the content.
C# remote-access trojan assessed by the researchers to be an Evilnum late-stage component, based on C2 overlap and capabilities complementary to DarkMe. It collects host information and supports mouse and keyboard control, clipboard access, configurable screenshots, command execution, persistence through startup entries and scheduled tasks, and deployment of an embedded PEGASUS HVNC module.
