Description
(FireEye) We observed FORKBEARD dropping SHORTBENCH and Meterpreter in an April
2020 intrusion. FIN11 has used these Metasploit-related tools; however, we currently have
inadequate evidence to attribute this intrusion to FIN11. SHORTBENCH and Meterpreter are
used by a variety of actors.
