We released a report on an updated version of #Shadowpad including anti-debugging features and new configuration structure, that in some cases deploy a custom ransomware family. We have mainly seen the manufacturing industry being targeted in Europe and Asia www.trendmicro.com/fr_fr/resear...

There is a typo in the link (remove the extra "7" at the end, will ask for it to be fixed, thanks!).
Regarding your question, this is what we wrote about Salt Typhoon in our third Earth Estries blogpost www.trendmicro.com/en_us/resear...
We saw Earth Estries, an advanced #APT intrusion set, sharing its access to Earth Naga (Flax Typhoon). We introduce the term "Premier Pass" to describe this behavior, and propose a four-tier classification framework for collaboration types among advanced groups www.trendmicro.com/en_us/resear...
Orange Cyberdefense saw the same threat and named the ransomware "NailaoLocker" orangecyberdefense.com/global/blog/.... They share interesting thoughts on the motivations of the ransomware deployment, although they don't have the final answer. We also saw no financial gain for the threat actor

For incident responders, remember to retrieve the volume serial number where #Shadowpad was deployed, since it is used to encrypt the payload in the registry. Those serial numbers can also be found in LNK and Prefetch files in case you don't have live access to the host anymore

Since Aug 2024 Earth Koshchei (APT29, Midnight Blizzard) used 193 RDP relays and 34 rogue backends against military, MFAs and others. The campaign peak was likely preceded by barely audible campaigns that ended with a bang in Oct 2024. Details and indicators here: www.trendmicro.com/en_us/resear...
