Silver Fox Expands Winos 4.0 Attacks to Japan, Malaysia

🔎 Silver Fox operators have expanded the Winos 4.0 (ValleyRAT) campaign from China and Taiwan to target Japan and Malaysia, and are also deploying a secondary RAT tracked as HoldingHands. The actors use phishing emails with booby‑trapped PDFs, SEO‑poisoned pages and targeted .LNK résumé lures to deliver multiple payloads, including Winos modules and HoldingHands. Observed techniques include DLL sideloading, Task Scheduler recovery abuse, anti‑VM checks and AV termination to maintain persistence and evade detection.
