This report details a long-running, suspected China-linked APT espionage campaign (CL-STA-1087) against Southeast Asian military organizations that uses custom backdoors (AppleChris, MemFun), a modified Mimikatz credential harvester (Getpass), Dead Drop Resolver techniques via Pastebin/Dropbox, and persistent C2 infrastructure; it provides in-depth technical analysis, IOCs (file hashes and C2 IPs), attacker TTPs, and mitigation recommendations.
