Enhanced Performance

Enhanced Performance

  • APT31 initiates a process to create a lasting presence within the compromised system. This often involves implanting malicious code or backdoors that enable unauthorized access even after initial intrusion.
Collecting Sensitive Data

Collecting Sensitive Data

  • The threat actor systematically identifies and gathers valuable information from the compromised system. This data can include sensitive documents, credentials, and other confidential information.
Transmitting to Remote Server

Transmitting to Remote Server

  • APT31 uses hidden communication channels to transmit gathered data to a controlled remote server. This server serves as a hub for the stolen data, enabling the threat actor to exploit it.
Under APT31's Dominion

Under APT31's Dominion

  • APT31 controls the whole process of persistence, data collection, and transmission. The threat actor dominates compromised systems and exploits stolen data.
