AlienVault OTX Malware

MintsLoader, a malicious loader first observed in 2024, is employed in phishing and drive-by download campaigns to deploy payloads like GhostWeaver, StealC, and modified BOINC clients. It uses obfuscated JavaScript and PowerShell scripts in a multi-stage infection chain, featuring sandbox evasion techniques, a domain generation algorithm, and HTTP-based C2 communications. Various threat groups, including TAG-124 and SocGholish operators, utilize MintsLoader to target industrial, legal, and energy sectors. The loader's sophisticated obfuscation and evasion methods complicate detection, but Recorded Future's Malware Intelligence Hunting provides up-to-date information on new samples and C2 domains.

MintsLoader is a sophisticated multi-stage malware loader first identified in 2024, primarily used in phishing and drive-by download campaigns to deliver various malicious payloads such as GhostWeaver, StealC, and modified BOINC clients. The loader employs heavily obfuscated JavaScript and PowerShell scripts to execute a complex infection chain designed to evade detection and analysis. Key technical features include sandbox evasion techniques that help it avoid automated malware analysis environments, a domain generation algorithm (DGA) that dynamically creates command and control (C2) domains to maintain resilient communications, and HTTP-based C2 channels that facilitate stealthy data exchange with threat actors. MintsLoader is utilized by multiple threat groups, notably TAG-124 and operators associated with SocGholish, targeting sectors including industrial, legal, and energy. The loader’s multi-stage approach allows it to deploy different payloads depending on the target environment, increasing its versatility and threat potential. Its obfuscation and evasion tactics complicate detection by traditional security tools, requiring advanced threat intelligence and behavioral analysis to identify and mitigate. Recorded Future’s Malware Intelligence Hunting platform provides ongoing updates on new MintsLoader samples and associated C2 infrastructure, aiding defenders in tracking and responding to this evolving threat.
