Global3

MITRE ATT&CK does not currently catalogue Global3, so this is our assessment of the techniques it uses, drawn from public reporting. The techniques themselves, and every "what that means" definition below, come from MITRE ATT&CK v19.2. Confidence: low. Treat it as orientation, not attribution.

1. T1059.001 PowerShell Execution

   What they do: global3 executes malicious commands through PowerShell to stage payloads and evade detection.

   What that means: Adversaries may abuse PowerShell commands and scripts for execution.

2. T1685 Disable or Modify Tools Defense Impairment

   What they do: global3 disables antivirus tools by terminating security processes and modifying system settings.

   What that means: Adversaries may disable, degrade, or tamper with security tools or applications (e.g., endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, intrusion detection systems (IDS), antivirus, logging agents, sensors, etc.) to impair or reduce visibility of defensive capabilities.

3. T1070.004 File Deletion Stealth

   What they do: global3 deletes Volume Shadow Copies and backup files to prevent data restoration.

   What that means: Adversaries may delete files left behind by the actions of their intrusion activity.

4. T1083 File and Directory Discovery Discovery

   What they do: global3 scans file and directory structures to identify sensitive data for encryption.

   What that means: Adversaries may enumerate files and directories or may search in specific locations of a host or network share for certain information within a file system.

5. T1486 Data Encrypted for Impact Impact

   What they do: global3 encrypts victim files using a custom ransomware payload to hold data hostage.

   What that means: Adversaries may encrypt data on target systems or on large numbers of systems in a network to interrupt availability to system and network resources.

6. T1489 Service Stop Impact

   What they do: global3 stops critical Windows services via command scripts to disrupt system recovery.

   What that means: Adversaries may stop or disable services on a system to render those services unavailable to legitimate users.

7. T1491.001 Internal Defacement Impact

   What they do: global3 displays a ransom note and defaces victim systems to pressure payment.

   What that means: An adversary may deface systems internal to an organization in an attempt to intimidate or mislead users, thus discrediting the integrity of the systems.
