GoldenEagle code\nhas been identified in an impressively large and diverse set of applications over the\nyears. These samples can be divided into two major groups: those that exfiltrate data via\nHTTP and those that exfiltrate data via SMTP, i.e., by sending exfiltrated data in file\nattachments of emails to an attacker-controlled mailbox using innocuous-looking\nsubjects and mail body content. The latter technique, while appearing in the early stages\nof GoldenEagle development, has resurfaced in samples signed and analysed in May\n2020.\nInformation\nMITRE ATT\u0026CK Malpedia AlienVault
