It then downloaded a compressed PE file using a hardcoded User-Agent (SSLoad/1.x) and\r\nContent-Type over HTTP. The downloaded file was then decompressed and executed directly in memory. The\r\nmalware has since undergone several updates, including changes to the command-and-control (C2)\r\ncommunication and the supporting executables that load the malware. Recent versions of the malware bypass the\r\nfirst-stage DLL by loading SSLoad directly onto the victim's machine.\r\n[TLP:WHITE] win_ssload_auto (20251219 | Detects win.ssload.)\r\nSource: https://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/details/win.ssload\r\nhttps://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/details/win.ssload\r\nPage 1 of 1",
