๐Ÿš€ Key Highlights โญ Starland RAT Campaign (UAT-11795) โญ Expanded detection coverage for the Starland RAT campaign attributed to UAT-11795, a financially motivated threat actor leveraging ClickFix social engineering and trojanized installers to deploy Starland RAT, the WLDR Agent PowerShell memory implant, and supporting malware including CastleStealer and Remcos RAT. This release tags a broad set of existing analytics covering PowerShell abuse, malicious script execution, persistence, reconnaissance, suspicious downloads, registry modifications, and Telegram-based C2 communications, improving visibility into the multi-stage infection chain, in-memory execution, credential theft, and resilient command-and-control techniques used throughout the campaign. ๐Ÿ‘€ Linux Exploitation Detection Expansion ๐Ÿ‘€ Expanded Linux detection coverage with new analytics focused on local privilege escalation, defense evasion, and kernel-level exploitation techniques, improving visibility into attempts to bypass security controls, abuse elevated execution paths, and exploit low-level system components commonly targeted by advanced adversaries.
