RTY is a potent malware that has been utilized by cybercriminals to exploit and damage computer systems. It infiltrates systems through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often without the user's knowledge. Once inside, it can steal personal information, disrupt operations, or even hold data hostage for ransom. This malicious software has been deployed using two distinct attack chains; one for deploying the known Agent K11 framework and another for deploying the RTY framework, which is a successor of YTY AES.
The threat actor group associated with RTY has previously used Vtyrei (also known as BREEZESUGAR), a first-stage payload and downloader strain, to deliver the RTY malware framework. This method of delivery allows the malware to bypass initial security measures and establish a foothold within the targeted system. From there, it can execute its harmful operations, causing significant damage to the infected device and potentially leading to substantial data loss.
In April 2023, Kaspersky provided an in-depth analysis of the twin attack sequences used by this threat actor to deploy the Agent K11 and RTY frameworks. This assessment built on previous reports, providing further insight into the evolving tactics, techniques, and procedures of the group. The continuous monitoring and understanding of these attack sequences are crucial for developing effective defenses against such sophisticated threats.
