TA416 Returns back with a Golang PlugX Malware Loader
 

APT group TA416 reemerges with new changes to its documented toolsets so it can continue launching espionage campaigns.
Chinese advanced persistent threat (APT) group TA416, whose previous activity has been attributed to "Mustang Panda" and "RedDelta," has resumed attack activity.
This new activity appears to be a continuation of previously reported campaigns that have targeted entities associated with diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the Chinese Communist Party, as well as entities in Myanmar and groups conducting diplomacy in Africa.

Based on the available information, the actor's tool set, which they used to deliver PlugX malware payloads is detected as a new Golang variant of TA416's PlugX malware loader and noticed the PlugX malware is consistently used in targeted campaigns. This signifies the group's persistence in changing its toolset to evade detection.

Buer Loader provides malware-as-a-service

Image
  Buer Loader provides malware-as-a-service       Buer is a malware-as-a-service offering that is used to deliver whatever package the service customer desires, providing initial compromise of targets’ Windows PCs and allowing them to establish a digital beachhead for further malicious activity. Buer has previously been tied to banking trojan attacks and other malware deployments—and now, apparently, has been embraced by ransomware operators. In many ways, Buer is positioned as an alternative to Emotet and Trickbot’s emerging Bazar loader. “A new modular bot…written in pure C” with command and control (C&C) server code written in .NET Core MVC (which can be run on Linux servers).
