Bloody Wolf Expands Java-Based NetSupport Campaign Regionally

🐺 Group-IB and Ukuk report that the actor known as Bloody Wolf has conducted spear-phishing campaigns since June 2025 targeting Kyrgyzstan and, by October 2025, expanded into Uzbekistan to deliver NetSupport RAT. Attackers impersonate government ministries using malicious PDFs that host Java Archive (JAR) loaders built for Java 8, instructing victims to install Java so the loader can execute. The loader fetches the NetSupport payload and establishes persistence via scheduled tasks, registry entries, and a startup batch script in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
