Unit 42 reports that the Russian-linked APT Fighting Ursa executed a March 2024 campaign targeting diplomats by abusing free web services to host a "Diplomatic Car For Sale" lure that delivered the HeadLace modular backdoor via a ZIP containing a calc.exe sideloaded DLL and a BAT downloader; the report includes a full infection-chain analysis, multiple IoCs (file hashes and URLs), attribution rationale (TTPs and malware family), and recommended detections and mitigations.
