Summary

Hide ▲

UNC6692 has deployed the Snow malware suite through social engineering, creating a stealthy path to credential theft and domain compromise. The operation uses email bombing and Microsoft Teams impersonation to trick victims into installing a fake patch. The dropper installs SnowBelt, SnowGlaze, and SnowBasin, which together support persistence, hidden command-and-control, and exfiltration. Post-compromise activity includes SMB/RDP reconnaissance, LSASS dumping, and pass-the-hash movement to domain controllers.

    UNC6692 deploys Snow malware via Microsoft Teams

    Initial Disclosure

    UNC6692 uses email bombing to create urgency, then poses as IT helpdesk staff on Microsoft Teams to steer target users toward a fake patch link that drops AutoHotkey scripts and the Snow malware suite. The chain loads SnowBelt in a headless Microsoft Edge instance with scheduled-task and startup-folder persistence, while SnowGlaze establishes a WebSocket tunnel and SOCKS proxy path to mask C2 traffic and SnowBasin executes attacker-supplied CMD or PowerShell commands for remote shell access, file download, screenshot capture, basic file management, and data exfiltration. Post-compromise activity includes SMB and RDP reconnaissance, lateral movement, LSASS memory dumping, pass-the-hash authentication, FTK Imager collection of the Active Directory database plus SYSTEM, SAM, and SECURITY hives, and exfiltration with LimeWire.
