Executive Summary
In October 2024, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) observed a novel phishing campaign targeting European government and military organizations that was attributed to a suspected Russia-nexus espionage actor we track as UNC5837. The campaign employed signed .rdp file attachments to establish Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections from victims' machines. Unlike typical RDP attacks focused on interactive sessions, this campaign creatively leveraged resource redirection (mapping victim file systems to the attacker servers) and RemoteApps (presenting attacker-controlled applications to victims). Evidence suggests this campaign may have involved the use of an RDP proxy tool like PyRDP to automate malicious activities like file exfiltration and clipboard capture. This technique has been previously dubbed as “Rogue RDP.”
The campaign likely enabled attackers to read victim drives, steal files, capture clipboard data (including passwords), and obtain victim environment variables. While we did not observe direct command execution on victim machines, the attackers could present deceptive applications for phishing or further compromise. The primary objective of the campaign appears to be espionage and file theft, though the full extent of the attacker's capabilities remains uncertain. This campaign serves as a stark reminder of the security risks associated with obscure RDP functionalities, underscoring the importance of vigilance ...
