What it is
CL-STA-1009 is a threat activity cluster associated with a suspected nation-state actor utilizing the Airstalk malware family, which includes both PowerShell and .NET variants. The .NET variant features a multi-threaded C2 protocol, versioning, and complex tasks, employing defense evasion techniques such as signed binaries with a revoked certificate and manipulation of PE timestamps. The malware is believed to have been used in supply chain attacks, with a development timeline established through signed timestamps. The persistent threat posed by this actor is underscored by the adaptive nature of the malware.
