Technique ID: T1534
Name: Internal Spearphishing
Description: Adversaries may use internal spearphishing to gain access to additional information or exploit other users within the same organization after they already have access to accounts or systems within the environment. Internal spearphishing is multi-staged campaign where an email account is owned either by con...
Tactics: Lateral Movement
Platforms Affected: Google Workspace, Linux, Office 365, SaaS, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Network intrusion detection systems and email gateways usually do not scan internal email, but an organization can leverage the journaling-based solution which sends a copy of emails to a security service for offline analysis or incorporate service-integrated solutions using on-premise or API-base...

Technique ID: T1021
Name: Remote Services
Description: Adversaries may use Valid Accounts to log into a service that accepts remote connections, such as telnet, SSH, and VNC. The adversary may then perform actions as the logged-on user. In an enterprise environment, servers and workstations can be organized into domains. Domains provide centralized identity ma...
Tactics: Lateral Movement
Platforms Affected: IaaS, Linux, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Correlate use of login activity related to remote services with unusual behavior or other malicious or suspicious activity. Adversaries will likely need to learn about an environment and the relationships between systems through Discovery techniques prior to attempting Lateral Movement. Use of app...
