From a Single Click: How Lunar Spider Enabled a Near Two-Month Intrusion

A case study documents an intrusion where the Lunar Spider threat actor gained initial access through a single click and maintained presence for approximately two months. The report traces the attacker's progression through execution, persistence, privilege escalation, and lateral movement phases, providing detailed technical analysis and indicators of compromise.

Why it matters: Organizations need to understand how minimal user interaction (a single click) can lead to prolonged dwell time; security teams should review detection capabilities for Lunar Spider tactics and implement controls around initial access vectors and persistence mechanisms.
