About BlueBottle.

The activity ran from at least July to September 2022 and possibly began in May 2022. The intruders relied on commodity and dual-use tooling rather than custom malware: GuLoader and.NET downloaders pulling payloads from transfer.sh, NetWire and Quasar RATs, Cobalt Strike, a fake logon screen and Revealer keylogger for credentials, Mimikatz, SharpHound, PsExec, Ngrok and RDPWrap, and a signed kernel driver (POORTRY family) used to kill security products.

They also enabled WDigest credential caching, added accounts to local groups and opened RDP.
