There's a Trickbot variant called Bazar Backdoor which is now very active, and has good AV evasion across vendors at the moment. One to watch.
As @martijn_grooten rightly notes in the replies it has been linked to a $6m Ryuk incident. YARA detection rules, this is what they detected yesterday: https://github.com/GossiTheDog/ThreatHunting/blob/master/YARA/BazaLoaderBackdoor.yar

The more you learn! https://twitter.com/thinkPoison/status/1314606706182287363
They're back again today, example: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8c55e3b7ce984976b237f03414886e8a2df5884d6f1485716493c84b0abf073e/detection

Using same certificate name as some GraceWire campaigns in August.
Detection for this is still apparently very bad.. I've updated the YARA rule to say they can be use used for commercial use and as basis for product detection if that helps.
Today's BazarLoader run pending (I guess they might wait because.. reasons), detection is starting to look pretty good.
No BazarLoader runs today.
Btw the 'blockchain unblockable C2 servers' is blockable by blocking DNS traffic to 51.254.25.115, it uses a hardcoded DNS server for .bazar lookups (never going to need in a professional setting).

Updated YARA rules for generic detection: https://github.com/GossiTheDog/ThreatHunting/blob/master/YARA/BazaLoaderBackdoor.yar

Two new C2 domains: titlecs[.com and labelcs[.com

This time distributed via S3 bucket links rather than Google Docs.
And yes, the S3 bucket is Basecamp - people have realised they can upload content to Basecamp -> Basecamp put content in open S3 bucket by design -> free malware storage. https://twitter.com/Cyjax_Ltd/status/1317104423114518529?s=20
Updated BazarLoader IoCs: https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/5f80a8e422f0579f87cdf4d0

YARA rule generic detection still detects all of these: https://github.com/GossiTheDog/ThreatHunting/blob/master/YARA/BazaLoaderBackdoor.yar

Detections are shockingly bad across vendors, this will turn into ransomware, we must do better:
