It shares a\r\nsimilar design and pattern, specifically around the invocation of the malware and the anti-analysis techniques used. However, the code family itself is considerably more customized\r\nthan the previous variants, as it no longer uses publicly available loaders like DONUT or\r\nDAVESHELL and implements a unique C2 mechanism.\r\nInformation\r\n\u003chttps://www.mandiant.com/resources/blog/apt29-wineloader-german-political-parties\u003e\r\n\u003chttps://www.zscaler.com/blogs/security-research/european-diplomats-targeted-spikedwine-wineloader\u003e\r\nMalpedia
