Trojan:Win32/Egairtigado - Windows Defender Threat Analysis

$ cat analysis.txt
=== THREAT ANALYSIS REPORT ===
Threat Name: Trojan:Win32/Egairtigado
Classification:
Type:Trojan
Platform:Win32
Family:Egairtigado
Detection Type:Concrete
Known malware family with identified signatures
Confidence:Very High
False-Positive Risk:Low

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

Summary:

Trojan:Win32/Egairtigado is a sophisticated malicious program employing various advanced techniques to compromise and maintain persistence on a system. It utilizes common Windows binaries (LOLBINs) like mshta.exe, regsvr32.exe, rundll32.exe, and PowerShell for execution, persistence, and command-and-control communication, often facilitated by BITS jobs and remote file operations. The extensive use of 'hooking' suggests capabilities for evasion, monitoring, or code injection, combined with data encoding for obfuscation or exfiltration.

Remediation Steps:
Immediately isolate the infected system to prevent further compromise and lateral movement. Perform a full, deep scan with Windows Defender and ensure all detected components of Trojan:Win32/Egairtigado are completely removed. Review system persistence mechanisms (e.g., scheduled tasks, startup entries) and network configurations (e.g., netsh helper DLLs) for any unauthorized changes.
