Clase: Email-Worm
Email-Worms esparcidos por correo electrónico. El gusano envía una copia de sí mismo como un archivo adjunto a un mensaje de correo electrónico o un enlace a su archivo en un recurso de red (por ejemplo, una URL a un archivo infectado en un sitio web comprometido o un sitio web propiedad de hackers). En el primer caso, el código del gusano se activa cuando se abre (inicia) el archivo adjunto infectado. En el segundo caso, el código se activa cuando se abre el enlace al archivo infectado. En ambos casos, el resultado es el mismo: el código del gusano está activado. Email-Worms utiliza una variedad de métodos para enviar correos electrónicos infectados. Los más comunes son: el uso de una conexión directa a un servidor SMTP utilizando el directorio de correo electrónico integrado en el código del gusano utilizando los servicios de MS Outlook utilizando las funciones de Windows MAPI. Email-Worms utiliza varias fuentes diferentes para encontrar las direcciones de correo electrónico a las que se enviarán los correos electrónicos infectados: la libreta de direcciones en MS Outlook una base de datos WAB. Archivos .txt almacenados en el disco duro: el gusano puede identificar qué cadenas en los archivos de texto son direcciones de correo electrónico correos electrónicos en la bandeja de entrada (algunos Email-Worms incluso "responden" a los correos electrónicos que se encuentran en la bandeja de entrada) Muchos Email-Worms usan más de una de las fuentes mencionadas anteriormente. También hay otras fuentes de direcciones de correo electrónico, como libretas de direcciones asociadas con servicios de correo electrónico basados en la web.Más información

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
TA0002
Execution
The adversary is trying to run malicious code.
Execution consists of techniques that result in adversary-controlled code running on a local or remote system. Techniques that run malicious code are often paired with techniques from all other tactics to achieve broader goals, like exploring a network or stealing data. For example, an adversary might use a remote access tool to run a PowerShell script that does Remote System Discovery.

T1204.002
User Execution: Malicious File
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution. Users may be subjected to social engineering to get them to open a file that will lead to code execution. This user action will typically be observed as follow-on behavior from Spearphishing Attachment. Adversaries may use several types of files that require a user to execute them, including .doc, .pdf, .xls, .rtf, .scr, .exe, .lnk, .pif, and .cpl.
Adversaries may employ various forms of Masquerading and Obfuscated Files or Information to increase the likelihood that a user will open and successfully execute a malicious file. These methods may include using a familiar naming convention and/or password protecting the file and supplying instructions to a user on how to open it.(Citation: Password Protected Word Docs)
While Malicious File frequently occurs shortly after Initial Access it may occur at other phases of an intrusion, such as when an adversary places a file in a shared directory or on a user's desktop hoping that a user will click on it. This activity may also be seen shortly after Internal Spearphishing.

Command and Control
The adversary is trying to communicate with compromised systems to control them.
Command and Control consists of techniques that adversaries may use to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network. Adversaries commonly attempt to mimic normal, expected traffic to avoid detection. There are many ways an adversary can establish command and control with various levels of stealth depending on the victim’s network structure and defenses.

T1071.001
Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols
Adversaries may communicate using application layer protocols associated with web traffic to avoid detection/network filtering by blending in with existing traffic. Commands to the remote system, and often the results of those commands, will be embedded within the protocol traffic between the client and server.
Protocols such as HTTP/S(Citation: CrowdStrike Putter Panda) and WebSocket(Citation: Brazking-Websockets) that carry web traffic may be very common in environments. HTTP/S packets have many fields and headers in which data can be concealed. An adversary may abuse these protocols to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network while also mimicking normal, expected traffic.
