SNUGRIDE

Snugride is a type of malware that was used in recent APT10 activity. Malware, or malicious software, is a harmful program designed to exploit and damage computers or devices. Snugride works as a backdoor that communicates with its C2 server through HTTP requests. It is often installed via traditional spear phishing and access to victim’s networks through managed service providers. The malware is part of a larger campaign that also includes HAYMAKER, BUGJUICE, and QUASARRAT. HAYMAKER and SNUGRIDE have been used as first stage backdoors, while BUGJUICE and a customized version of the open source QUASARRAT have been used as second stage backdoors. These malware types allow attackers to gain access to victims' networks and steal sensitive information or disrupt their operations. To protect against these threats, it is important to take precautions such as avoiding suspicious downloads, emails, or websites. Additionally, organizations should ensure that their network security measures are up-to-date and invest in employee training to prevent cyber attacks from occurring. Vigilance and ongoing cybersecurity education are key to preventing malware attacks like snugride and its associated malware types.
