=== THREAT ANALYSIS REPORT ===
Threat Name: Trojan:Win32/Amadey.MA!MTB
Classification:
Type:Trojan
Platform:Win32
Family:Amadey
Detection Type:Concrete
Known malware family with identified signatures
Variant:MA
Specific signature variant within the malware family
Suffix:!MTB
Detected via machine learning and behavioral analysis
Detection Method:Behavioral
Confidence:Very High
False-Positive Risk:Low

Concrete signature match: Trojan - Appears legitimate but performs malicious actions for 32-bit Windows platform, family Amadey

Summary:

Trojan:Win32/Amadey.MA is a potent Win32 Trojan that functions as a botnet loader, information stealer, and dropper for other malware. This variant is specifically identified as having 'clipper' capabilities, designed to hijack the clipboard to replace cryptocurrency wallet addresses and potentially other sensitive data. The detection leverages machine learning behavioral analysis combined with specific string heuristics to confirm its malicious nature.

Severity:
High

Remediation Steps:
Immediately isolate the infected system from the network. Perform a full system scan with updated antivirus software (e.g., Windows Defender) to quarantine and remove all identified malicious files. Investigate for persistence mechanisms (e.g., registry entries, scheduled tasks) and remove them. Reset any compromised user credentials, especially if crypto theft is suspected, and monitor network activity for command and control (C2) communications.
