Return of Domen? Mysterious Zip file

1. Overview On March 17, Waseda University announced that its sports newspaper club's website(https://wasedasports[.]com/) had been infected with malware. At the time of my research the final payload was common malware called BitRAT, but there are several interesting points in its infection chain. A portion of the infection chain is shown below. The compromised site finally trigger download of the zip file. There is nothing interesting about the infection chain after this. You can refer to the IoC section for more information on infecting malware if necessary. Now, what is interesting? In my opinion, the interesting points of this attack are as follows. ・Using Domen social engineering toolkit: This toolkit was used around 2019-2020, but not recently. ・Mysteriously structured zip file: The file name in this zip file is depending on the archiver used for decompression. 2.
