Recent OTX pulses reveal a coordinated surge in credential theft operations spanning mobile ecosystems, software supply chains, and enterprise endpoints. A fractured criminal ecosystem has weaponized the leaked source code of the Flying Eagle Android RAT, deploying over 170 active servers to harvest banking credentials in China and Thailand. Concurrently, a Shai-Hulud-style npm worm has compromised critical developer packages (@tanstack, @mistralai), delivering a payload that harvests GitHub tokens and AWS secrets. On the endpoint front, a sophisticated ClickFix campaign is utilizing WebDAV tunnels over HTTPS to execute malicious payloads via rundll32.exe ordinal execution, bypassing standard application controls.
Threat Actor / Malware Profile
Flying Eagle / Night Dragon (Android RAT)
- Distribution: Malicious APKs impersonating Chinese government authorities; distributed via Telegram channels.
- Behavior: Acts as a SpyNote variant. Steals SMS messages, contacts, and banking 2FA codes.
- C2: Communicates with a fleet of ~170 active servers.
Shai-Hulud NPM Worm
- Distribution: Typosquatting and compromise of popular npm libraries.
- Payload Behavior: Downloads and executes the Bun runtime. Scripts query the AWS Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and scan for GitHub/GitLab credentials.
- Technique: Supply chain attack targeting CI/CD pipelines.
ClickFix (WebDAV Variant)
- Distribution: Social engineering (Fake browser updates/ CAPTCHA pages) tricking users into typing commands into Windows Run Dialog.
- Execution Technique: Uses
rundll32.exewith ordinal export #1 to load a non-DLL file hosted on a remote WebDAV server over port 443. - Evasion: Uses WMI for process spawning and caret encoding (
^) in commands to obfuscate intent.
IOC Analysis
The provided IOCs are predominantly domains and file hashes associated with payload delivery and C2 infrastructure.
- Domains: High-fidelity network indicators. The PasasteSinTAG campaign utilizes domain rotation with new TLDs (.cyou, .top). ClickFix infrastructure uses compromised domains hosting WebDAV endpoints (e.g.,
poundbahis.com). - File Hashes: Multiple MD5 and SHA256 hashes are provided for the Flying Eagle APKs and the NPM worm payloads. SOC teams should immediately hash-search endpoint forensic data (EDR) and quarantine any matches.

Response Priorities
-
Immediate:
- Block all listed domains and IOCs at the perimeter and proxy.
- Hunt endpoints for the specific MD5/SHA256 hashes provided in the pulses.
- Investigate any
rundll32.exeinstances spawning from user sessions with network arguments.
-
24h:
- If the NPM worm is suspected in dev environments, rotate all GitHub tokens and AWS IAM credentials used by build pipelines.
- Audit npm package lock files (
package-lock.) for references to@tanstack,@mistralai, or@uipathpackages with version numbers matching the compromise window.
-
1 week:
- Implement strict application allowlisting for developer environments (e.g., restrict usage of Bun runtime unless approved).
- Update mobile security policies to block APK installation from sources other than the official Google Play Store to mitigate Flying Eagle RAT distribution.
- Conduct security awareness training regarding the ClickFix "Run Dialog" social engineering vector.
