The PowerShell is very different this wave — delivery re-tooled to a silent msiexec remote-MSI install — but every durable anchor holds: the RSA-1024 CAPI C2 handshake key fired in process memory, the C2/stage IP 158.94.211.92 is reused, and the new MSI host sits inside AS202412. A v15.0 label should be reserved for a break in the durable C2 key or code prologue — which did not occur here.
On 2026-08-24 a fresh detonation of the WP-002 chain was captured from the compromised Israeli lure host gbcu.org.il. The victim was steered through a ClickFix clipboard-paste overlay whose client stage (/mpackage.js, a ~132 KB VM-obfuscated JavaScript) plants a silent remote-MSI command:
This replaces the v14.9 IRM → password-ZIP → build.exe path with an msiexec LOLBIN (T1218.007) pulling the payload MSI over HTTPS. Three victim sessions were observed (1787536535958-i0cxy4o51787536610190-oqlgj67r1787536664828-xhrcamir); the last was leaked verbatim into Edge's Bing "parachute" search telemetry, confirming the clipboard-paste vector.
Only stages up to and including the MSI delivery + EtherHiding contact were observed on the wire. The final stage is greyed as inferred.
| Signal | This wave (v14.10) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Durable RSA-1024 CAPI C2 key modulus SHA-256 dc4cb858…febfac6f, e=65537 | Fired in process memory (deployed ClickFix-v8 signature hit) | UNCHANGED — dispositive |
| C2 / stage IP | 158.94.211.92 (AS202412, 158.94.211.0/24) — via cdn.claritydelivr.com | REUSED cross-wave |
| Hosting ASN | MSI host 91.92.240.194 ∈ AS202412 91.92.240.0/24 | SAME dependency |
| EtherHiding bootstrap | BSC-testnet RPC contacted | CONSISTENT |
| Victim token grammar | sid=<epoch-ms>-<8char> | CONSISTENT |
| ClickFix-v8 SHA1 anchor | 91A9773E…C674C3E0 | MATCHED |
| Delivery mechanism | msiexec remote-MSI /qn (was IRM→ZIP→build.exe in v14.9) | CHANGED — wave-level |
| Front / stage domains | cloudfrontenterprise.com · cdn.claritydelivr.com (new) | ROTATED — expected |
| Stage filename / form | mpackage.js — 132 KB VM-obfuscated JS (new) | CHANGED — wave-level |
Delivery re-tooling and domain rotation are exactly what a wave does; the cryptographic identity is what a family is. Both durable-key and durable-IP anchors held, so this is filed as v14.10.
