Analyst brief
GOFFEE is a cyber threat actor that has been targeting media, telecommunications, and government entities within the Russian Federation since early 2022. Their key TTPs include spear phishing emails with malicious attachments such as modified Owowa and patched explorer.exe, leveraging PowerTaskel (a non-public Mythic agent) and a new implant called "PowerModul", while recently shifting to a binary Mythic agent for lateral movement. Defenders should focus on detecting Word documents with malicious VBA scripts, unusual use of modified Owowa, and the deployment of custom Mythic agents in their environment.
