  • Associated actor(s): UNC1860
  • Tool type(s): Referenced tool/family term
  • Confidence level(s): Low
  • Source ID(s): SRC-MALPEDIA-UNC1860

Behavior

ActorBehavior Summary
UNC1860Malpedia library links PipeSnoop to the Mandiant UNC1860 Temple of Oats reference set.

Hash And IOC Status

ActorStatusReference
UNC1860Reference confirmed by Malpedia; no per-sample hash committed in this repo.SRC-MALPEDIA-UNC1860

Hashes and IOCs on this page are source pointers or representative public indicators. They SHOULD be refreshed from the linked source before operational use and MUST NOT be used alone for actor attribution.

Defensive Hunting Notes

ActorHunting Notes
UNC1860Use as a research pivot term for UNC1860 tooling; require source-backed behavior before detection logic.

Handling Notes

ActorHandling Notes
UNC1860Do not overclaim behavior from the name alone.

These detections are mapped through the associated actor or scenario and are not automatically tool-specific. Promote a tool-specific detection only after the behavior is tied to telemetry and test evidence.
