The continued prevalence of Malware as a Service (MaaS) across the cyber threat landscape means that even the most inexperienced of would-be malicious actors are able to carry out damaging and wide-spread cyber-attacks with relative ease. Among these commonly employed MaaS are information stealers, or info-stealers, a type of malware that infects a device and attempts to gather sensitive information before exfiltrating it to the attacker. Info-stealers typically target confidential information, such as login credentials and bank details, and attempt to lie low on a compromised device, allowing access to sensitive data for longer periods of time. 

It is essential for organizations to have efficient security measures in place to defend their networks from attackers in an increasing versatile and accessible threat landscape, however incident response alone is not enough. Having an autonomous decision maker able to not only detect suspicious activity, but also take action against it in real time, is of the upmost importance to defend against significant network compromise. 

Between August and December 2022, Darktrace detected the Amadey info-stealer on more than 30 customer environments, spanning various regions and industry verticals across the customer base. This shows a continual presence and overlap of info-stealer indicators of compromise (IOCs) across the cyber threat landscape, such as RacoonStealer, which we discussed last November (Part 1 and Part 2).

Background on Amadey

Amadey Bot, a malware that was first discovered in 2018, is capable of stealing sensitive information and installing additional malware by receiving commands from the attacker. Like other malware strains, it is being sold in illegal forums as MaaS starting from $500 USD [1]. 

Researchers at AhnLab found that Amadey is typically distributed via existing SmokeLoader loader malware campaigns. Downloading cracked versions of legitimate software causes SmokeLoader to inject malicious payload into Windows Explorer processes and proceeds to download Amadey.  

The botnet has also been used for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and as a vector to install malware spam campaigns, such as LockBit 3.0 [2]. Regardless of the delivery techniques, similar patterns of activity were observed across multiple customer environments. 

Amadey’s primary function is to steal information and further distribute malware. It aims to extract a variety of information from infected devices and attempts to evade the detection of security measures by reducing the volume of data exfiltration compared to that seen in other malicious instances.

Darktrace DETECT/Network™ and its built-in features, such as Wireshark Packet Captures (PCAP), identified Amadey activity on customer networks, whilst Darktrace RESPOND/Network™ autonomously intervened to halt its progress.

Attack Details

Figure 1: Timeline of Amadey info-stealer kill chain.

Initial Access  

User engagement with malicious email attachments or cracked software results in direct execution of the SmokeLoader loader malware on a device. Once the loader has executed its payload, it is then able to download additional malware, including the Amadey info-stealer.

Unusual Outbound Connections 

After initial access by the loader and download of additional malware, the Amadey info-stealer captures screenshots of network information and sends them to Amadey command and control (C2) servers via HTTP POST requests with no GET to a .php URI. An example of this can be seen in Figure 2.  

Figure 2: PCAP from an affected customer showing screenshots being sent out to the Amadey C2 server via a .jpg file. 

C2 Communications  

The infected device continues to make repeated connections out to this Amadey endpoint. Amadey's C2 server will respond with instructions to download additional plugins in the form of dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), such as "/Mb1sDv3/Plugins/cred64.dll", or attempt to download secondary info-stealers such as RedLine or RaccoonStealer. 

Internal Reconnaissance 

The device downloads executable and DLL files, or stealer configuration files to steal additional network information from software including RealVNC and Outlook. Most compromised accounts were observed downloading additional malware following commands received from the attacker.

Data Exfiltration 

The stolen information is then sent out via high volumes of HTTP connection. It makes HTTP POSTs to malicious .php URIs again, this time exfiltrating more data such as the Amadey version, device names, and any anti-malware software installed on the system.

How did the attackers bypass the rest of the security stack?

Existing N-Day vulnerabilities are leveraged to launch new attacks on customer networks and potentially bypass other tools in the security stack. Additionally, exfiltrating data via low and slow HTTP connections, rather than large file transfers to cloud storage platforms, is an effective means of evading the detection of traditional security tools which often look for large data transfers, sometimes to a specific list of identified “bad” endpoints.

Darktrace Coverage 

Amadey activity was autonomously identified by DETECT and the Cyber AI Analyst. A list of DETECT models that were triggered on deployments during this kill chain can be found in the Appendices. 

Various Amadey activities were detected and highlighted in DETECT model breaches and their model breach event logs. Figure 3 shows a compromised device making suspicious HTTP POST requests, causing the ‘Anomalous Connection / Posting HTTP to IP Without Hostname’ model to breach. It also downloaded an executable file (.exe) from the same IP.

Figure 3: Amadey activity on a customer deployment captured by model breaches and event logs. 

DETECT’s built-in features also assisted with detecting the data exfiltration. Using the PCAP integration, the exfiltrated data was captured for analysis. Figure 4 shows a connection made to the Amadey endpoint, in which information about the infected device, such as system ID and computer name, were sent. 

Figure 4: PCAP downloaded from Darktrace event logs highlighting data egress to the Amadey endpoint. 

Further information about the infected system can be seen in the above PCAP. As outlined by researchers at Ahnlab and shown in Figure 5, additional system information sent includes the Amadey version (vs=), the device’s admin privilege status (ar=), and any installed anti-malware or anti-virus software installed on the infected environment (av=) [3].

Darktrace’s AI Analyst was also able to connect commonalities between model breaches on a device and present them as a connected incident made up of separate events. Figure 6 shows the AI Analyst incident log for a device having breached multiple models indicative of the Amadey kill chain. It displays the timeline of these events, the specific IOCs, and the associated attack tactic, in this case ‘Command and Control’. 

Figure 6: A screenshot of multiple IOCs and activity correlated together by AI Analyst. 

When enabled on customer’s deployments, RESPOND was able to take immediate action against Amadey to mitigate its impact on customer networks. RESPOND models that breached include: 

  • Antigena / Network / Significant Anomaly / Antigena Significant Anomaly from Client Block
  • Antigena / Network / External Threat / Antigena Suspicious File Block 
  • Antigena / Network / Significant Anomaly / Antigena Controlled and Model Breach

On one customer’s environment, a device made a POST request with no GET to URI ‘/p84Nls2/index.php’ and unepeureyore[.]xyz. RESPOND autonomously enforced a previously established pattern of life on the device twice for 30 minutes each and blocked all outgoing traffic from the device for 10 minutes. Enforcing a device’s pattern of life restricts it to conduct activity within the device and/or user’s expected pattern of behavior and blocks anything anomalous or unexpected, enabling normal business operations to continue. This response is intended to reduce the potential scale of attacks by disrupting the kill chain, whilst ensuring business disruption is kept to a minimum. 

Figure 7: RESPOND actions taken on a customer deployment to disrupt the Amadey kill chain. 

The Darktrace Threat Research team conducted thorough investigations into Amadey activity observed across the customer base. They were able to identify and contextualize this threat across the fleet, enriching AI insights with collaborative human analysis. Pivoting from AI insights as their primary source of information, the Threat Research team were able to provide layered analysis to confirm this campaign-like activity and assess the threat across multiple unique environments, providing a holistic assessment to customers with contextualized insights.

Conclusion

The presence of the Amadey info-stealer in multiple customer environments highlights the continuing prevalence of MaaS and info-stealers across the threat landscape. The Amadey info-stealer in particular demonstrates that by evading N-day vulnerability patches, threat actors routinely launch new attacks. These malicious actors are then able to evade detection by traditional security tools by employing low and slow data exfiltration techniques, as opposed to large file transfers.

Crucially, Darktrace’s AI insights were coupled with expert human analysis to detect, respond, and provide contextualized insights to notify customers of Amadey activity effectively. DETECT captured Amadey activity taking place on customer deployments, and where enabled, RESPOND’s autonomous technology was able to take immediate action to reduce the scale of such attacks. Finally, the Threat Research team were in place to provide enhanced analysis for affected customers to help security teams future-proof against similar attacks.

CVE-2026-1731: How Darktrace Sees the BeyondTrust Exploitation Wave Unfolding

Default blog imageDefault blog image

Note: Darktrace's Threat Research team is publishing now to help defenders. We will update continue updating this blog as our investigations unfold.

Background

On February 6, 2026, the Identity & Access Management solution BeyondTrust announced patches for a vulnerability, CVE-2026-1731, which enables unauthenticated remote code execution using specially crafted requests.  This vulnerability affects BeyondTrust Remote Support (RS) and particular older versions of Privileged Remote Access (PRA) [1].

A Proof of Concept (PoC) exploit for this vulnerability was released publicly on February 10, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) reported exploitation attempts within 24 hours [2].

Previous intrusions against Beyond Trust technology have been cited as being affiliated with nation-state attacks, including a 2024 breach targeting the U.S. Treasury Department. This incident led to subsequent emergency directives from  the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and later showed attackers had chained previously unknown vulnerabilities to achieve their goals [3].

Additionally, there appears to be infrastructure overlap with React2Shell mass exploitation previously observed by Darktrace, with command-and-control (C2) domain  avg.domaininfo[.]top seen in potential post-exploitation activity for BeyondTrust, as well as in a React2Shell exploitation case involving possible EtherRAT deployment.

Darktrace Detections

Darktrace’s Threat Research team has identified highly anomalous activity across several customers that may relate to exploitation of BeyondTrust since February 10, 2026. Observed activities include:

-              Outbound connections and DNS requests for endpoints associated with Out-of-Band Application Security Testing; these services are commonly abused by threat actors for exploit validation.  Associated Darktrace models include:

o    Compromise / Possible Tunnelling to Bin Services
‍

-              Suspicious executable file downloads. Associated Darktrace models include:

o    Anomalous File / EXE from Rare External Location
‍

-              Outbound beaconing to rare domains. Associated Darktrace models include:

o   Compromise / Agent Beacon (Medium Period)

o   Compromise / Agent Beacon (Long Period)

o   Compromise / Sustained TCP Beaconing Activity To Rare Endpoint

o   Compromise / Beacon to Young Endpoint

o   Anomalous Server Activity / Rare External from Server

o   Compromise / SSL Beaconing to Rare Destination
‍

-              Unusual cryptocurrency mining activity. Associated Darktrace models include:

o   Compromise / Monero Mining

o   Compromise / High Priority Crypto Currency Mining

‍‍

And model alerts for:

o    Compromise / Rare Domain Pointing to Internal IP

‍

‍

IT Defenders: As part of best practices, we highly recommend employing an automated containment solution in your environment. For Darktrace customers, please ensure that Autonomous Response is configured correctly. More guidance regarding this activity and suggested actions can be found in the Darktrace Customer Portal.

How AI is redefining cybersecurity and the role of today’s CIO

Default blog imageDefault blog image

Why AI is essential to modern security

As attackers use automation and AI to outpace traditional tools and people, our approach to cybersecurity must fundamentally change. That’s why one of my first priorities as Withum's CIO was to elevate cybersecurity from a technical function to a business enabler.

What used to be “IT’s problem” is now a boardroom conversation – and for good reason. Protecting our data, our people, and our clients directly impacts revenue, reputation and competitive positioning.  

As CIOs / CISOs, our responsibilities aren’t just keeping systems running, but enabling trust, protecting our organization's reputation, and giving the business confidence to move forward even as the digital world becomes less predictable. To pull that off, we need to know the business inside-out, understand risk, and anticipate what's coming next. That's where AI becomes essential.

Staying ahead when you’re a natural target

With more than 3,100 team members and over 1,000 CPAs (Certified Public Accountant), Withum’s operates in an industry that naturally attracts attention from attackers. Firms like ours handle highly sensitive financial and personal information, which puts us squarely in the crosshairs for sophisticated phishing, ransomware, and cloud-based attacks.

We’ve built our security program around resilience, visibility, and scale. By using Darktrace’s AI-powered platform, we can defend against both known and unknown threats, across email and network, without slowing our teams down.

Our focus is always on what we’re protecting: our clients’ information, our intellectual property, and the reputation of the firm. With Darktrace, we’re not just keeping up with the massive volume of AI-powered attacks coming our way, we’re staying ahead. The platform defends our digital ecosystem around the clock, detecting potential threats across petabytes of data and autonomously investigating and responding to tens of thousands of incidents every year.

Catching what traditional tools miss

Beyond the sheer scale of attacks, Darktrace ActiveAI Security PlatformTM is critical for identifying threats that matter to our business. Today’s attackers don’t use generic techniques. They leverage automation and AI to craft highly targeted attacks – impersonating trusted colleagues, mimicking legitimate websites, and weaving in real-world details that make their messages look completely authentic.

The platform, covering our network, endpoints, inboxes, cloud and more is so effective because it continuously learns what’s normal for our business: how our users typically behave, the business- and industry-specific language we use, how systems communicate, and how cloud resources are accessed. It picks up on minute details that would sail right past traditional tools and even highly trained security professionals.

Freeing up our team to do what matters

On average, Darktrace autonomously investigates 88% of all our security events, using AI to connect the dots across email, network, and cloud activity to figure out what matters. That shift has changed how our team works. Instead of spending hours sorting through alerts, we can focus on proactive efforts that actually strengthen our security posture.

For example, we saved 1,850 hours on investigating security issues over a ten-day period. We’ve reinvested the time saved into strengthening policies, refining controls, and supporting broader business initiatives, rather than spending endless hours manually piecing together alerts.

Real confidence, real results

The impact of our AI-driven approach goes well beyond threat detection. Today, we operate from a position of confidence, knowing that threats are identified early, investigated automatically, and communicated clearly across our organization.

That confidence was tested when we withstood a major ransomware attack by a well-known threat group. Not only were we able to contain the incident, but we were able to trace attacker activity and provided evidence to law enforcement. That was an exhilarating experience! My team did an outstanding job, and moments like that reinforce exactly why we invest in the right technology and the right people.

Internally, this capability has strengthened trust at the executive level. We share security reporting regularly with leadership, translating technical activity into business-relevant insights. That transparency reinforces cybersecurity as a shared responsibility, one that directly supports growth, continuity, and reputation.

Culturally, we’ve embedded security awareness into daily operations through mandatory monthly training, executive communication, and real-world industry examples that keep cybersecurity top of mind for every employee.

The only headlines we want are positive ones: Withum expanding services, Withum growing year over year. Security plays a huge role in making sure that’s the story we get to tell.

What’s next

Looking ahead, we’re expanding our use of Darktrace, including new cloud capabilities that extend AI-driven visibility and investigation into our AWS and Azure environments.

As I continue shaping our security team, I look for people with passion, curiosity, and a genuine drive to solve problems. Those qualities matter just as much as formal credentials in my view. Combined with AI, these attributes help us build a resilient, engaged security function with low turnover and high impact.

For fellow technology leaders, my advice is simple: be forward-thinking and embrace change. We must understand the business, the threat landscape, and how technology enables both. By augmenting human expertise rather than replacing it, AI allows us to move upstream by anticipating risk, advising the business, and fostering stronger collaboration across teams.
