The PowGoop loader component is responsible for\ndecrypting and running the PowerShell code that comprises the PowGoop downloader.\nThe PowGoop loader DLL that existed in the same environment as LogicalDuckBill had\na filename of goopdate.dll that was likely sideloaded by the legitimate and signed\nGoogle Update executable. The sideloading process would start with the legitimate\nGoogleUpdate.exe file loading a legitimate DLL with a name of goopdate86.dll. The\nsideloading would occur when the goopdate86.dll library loads the goopdate.dll file,\nwhich effectively runs the PowGoop loader.\nInformation\nMITRE ATT\u0026CK Malpedia Last change to this tool card: 30 December 2022\nDownload this tool card in JSON format\nAll groups using tool PowGoop\nChanged Name Country Observed\nAPT groups\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=5bb80638-3bd5-4921-adc9-ef529ced2d91\nPage 1 of 2\n\nMuddyWater, Seedworm, TEMP.Zagros, Static Kitten 2017-Jul 2025\r\n1 group listed (1 APT, 0 other, 0 unknown)\r\nSource: https://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=5bb80638-3bd5-4921-adc9-ef529ced2d91\r\nhttps://apt.etda.or.th/cgi-bin/listgroups.cgi?u=5bb80638-3bd5-4921-adc9-ef529ced2d91\r\nPage 2 of 2",
