This VBScript performs the\r\nfollowing operations:\r\n1. Leverages PowerShell to download content from the URI\r\nhxxp://go0gIe[.]com/sysupdate.aspx?req=xxx\\dwn\u0026m=d and saves it in the directory\r\n%PUBLIC%\\Libraries\\dn.\r\n2. Uses PowerShell to download a BAT file from the URI\r\nhxxp://go0gIe[.]com/sysupdate.aspx?req=xxx\\bat\u0026m=d and saves it in the directory\r\n%PUBLIC%\\Libraries\\dn.\r\n3. Executes the BAT file and stores the results in a file in the path %PUBLIC%\\Libraries\\up.\r\n4. Uploads this file to the server by sending an HTTP POST request to the URI\r\nhxxp://go0gIe[.]com/sysupdate.aspx?req=xxx\\upl\u0026m=u.\r\n5. Finally, it executes the PowerShell script dns.ps1, which is used for the purpose of data\r\nexfiltration using DNS.\r\nInformation\r\n\u003chttps://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2016/05/targeted_attacksaga.html\u003e\r\n\u003chttps://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2017/12/targeted-attack-in-middle-east-by-apt34.html\u003e\r\nLast change to this tool card: 20 April 2020\r\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\r\nAll groups using tool POWBAT\r\nChanged Name Country Observed\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=e87032a7-d42b-4d9b-a20e-9380e1c51cd7\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nAPT groups\r\n  Chafer, APT 39 2014-Sep 2020\r\n  OilRig, APT 34, Helix Kitten, Chrysene 2014-Sep 2024\r\n2 groups listed (2 APT, 0 other, 0 unknown)\r\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=e87032a7-d42b-4d9b-a20e-9380e1c51cd7\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=e87032a7-d42b-4d9b-a20e-9380e1c51cd7\r\nPage 2 of 2",
