**Zscaler ThreatLabz analyzed a Lyceum (Iranian APT) campaign delivering a customized .NET DNS backdoor (DnsSystem.exe) via a macro-enabled Word document that uses DNS hijacking and DNS TXT/A records for stealthy C2 and exfiltration; the report includes behavior analysis, persistence method, command/upload/download capabilities, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and IOCs (file hashes, domains, URLs).**
