OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors detected a malicious file with SHA-256 hash 44689d3e1a7f460db2ecc14351c171f4910721257f83024c63cbc07f4e2b977c during attacker activity on 2026-07-09. The activity involved the T1105 technique, which is used for ingress tool transfer, suggesting the file was used to stage or deliver a malicious payload. The file may represent various types of malware including droppers, web shells, miners, or post-exploitation tools. The attacker infrastructure was identified in Great Britain. There is no information on specific affected software versions or known exploits in the wild. This is an indicator of compromise (IOC) useful for detection and response.

The presence of this malicious file hash indicates potential compromise involving the transfer and deployment of malicious payloads such as droppers, web shells, miners, or post-exploitation tools. This can lead to unauthorized access, persistence, data theft, or resource abuse. However, no confirmed exploitation or widespread attacks using this file have been reported.

No official patches or fixes are applicable as this is an indicator of compromise rather than a vulnerability in software. Security teams should use this SHA-256 hash to scan and detect the presence of the malicious file within their environments using endpoint detection and response (EDR), antivirus (AV), and threat intelligence feeds. Blocking or quarantining files matching this hash and investigating related activity is recommended. Monitor for ingress tool transfer techniques (T1105) and strengthen controls around file transfers from untrusted sources.
