Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols (T1071.001) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating communication between attackers and victims via TOR-based channels and Proxy: Multi-hop Proxy (T1090.003) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating tOR-based channels used for attacker-victim communication. Under the Exfiltration tactic, the analysis identified Exfiltration Over C2 Channel (T1041) with moderate confidence (60%), supported by evidence indicating ransomware actors likely exfiltrate data via TOR-based channels.
