According to Trend Micro, Earth Freybug has been active since at least 2012 and the Chinese-linked group has been active in espionage and financially motivated attacks. Earth Freybug employs diverse tools like LOLBins and custom malware, targeting organizations globally. The attack used techniques like dynamic link library (DLL) hijacking and API unhooking to avoid monitoring for a new malware called UNAPIMON. UNAPIMON evades detection by preventing child processes from being monitored. The attack flow involved creating remote scheduled tasks and executing reconnaissance commands to gather system information. Subsequently, a backdoor was launched using DLL side-loading via a service called SessionEnv, which loads a malicious DLL. UNAPIMON, the injected DLL, uses API hooking to evade monitoring and execute malicious commands undetected, showcasing the attackers\' sophistication.
