It has been seen in conjunction with Cobalt Strike beacons as well as a downloader\r\nthat has similarities to the Shifu banking Trojan. Analysts have observed evidence of the threat\r\nactors attempting to deliver ransomware to the healthcare and education industries with PyXie.\r\nKey highlights of the PyXie campaign include:\r\n• Legitimate LogMeIn and Google binaries used to sideload payloads.\r\n• A Trojanized Tetris app to load and execute Cobalt Strike stagers from internal network\r\nshares.\r\n• Use of a downloader with similarities to Shifu named 'Cobalt Mode'.\r\n• Use of SharpHound to collect active directory information from victims.\r\n• A custom compiled Python interpreter that uses scrambled opcodes to hinder analysis.\r\n• Use of a modified RC4 algorithm to encrypt payloads with a unique key per infected host.\r\nInformation \u003chttps://blogs.blackberry.com/en/2019/12/meet-pyxie-a-nefarious-new-python-rat\u003e\r\nMalpedia \u003chttps://malpedia.caad.fkie.fraunhofer.de/details/win.pyxie\u003e\r\nLast change to this tool card: 24 April 2021\r\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\r\nAll groups using tool PyXie\r\nChanged Name Country Observed\r\nAPT groups\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=4e675551-3b29-4764-819b-0b8b68e3dcb4\r\nPage 1 of 2\n\nSprite Spider, Gold Dupont [Unknown] 2015-Nov 2022  \r\n1 group listed (1 APT, 0 other, 0 unknown)\r\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=4e675551-3b29-4764-819b-0b8b68e3dcb4\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=4e675551-3b29-4764-819b-0b8b68e3dcb4\r\nPage 2 of 2",
