Good day everyone!
Somehow I missed this article when it first dropped but at least I found it! The DFIR Report published another great article that involved the #Bumblebee malware as the initial access vector that was installed after a user fell victim to an SEO poisoning campaign. The report states that "the threat actor moved laterally to a domain controller, dumped credentials, installed persistent remote access tools, and exfiltrated data using an SFTP client." The adversary also created two new domain accounts and used one to connect to a domain controller via RDP and dumped the NTDS.dit file using wbadmin.exe.
There are more technical details along with some great queries to use to aid your threat hunting and detection engineering efforts! As always, thank you to the authors for a great report! Happy Hunting!
