We caught a threat actor stealing victim data…

and storing it inside a free trial of Elastic Cloud SIEM.

Yes. Really.

Details below. 🧵
After exploiting SolarWinds Web Help Desk, the attacker ran an encoded PowerShell command to exfiltrate system data:

- OS + hardware details
- Active Directory domain info
- Installed patches
- Host metadata

Then shipped it straight into their Elastic Cloud SIEM trial.
The cybercriminal's SIEM instance exposed a lot:

- 216 compromised hosts
- Disposable emails tied to a Russian-registered temp email network
- Activity routed through a SAFING_VPN tunnel

Full investigation below. okt.to/7v6Af2
