S0060: Sys10 describes [Sys10](https://attack.mitre.org/software/S0060) is a backdoor that was used throughout 2013 by [Naikon](https://attack.mitre.org/groups/G0019). (Citation: Baumgartner Naikon 2015)

Executive priority

S0060: Sys10 is an official MITRE ATT&CK software. Glexia treats it as defensive behavior context for prioritizing monitoring, control validation, and response planning without using the object by itself as an attribution claim.

Technical view

Security teams should validate S0060: Sys10 by reviewing the official ATT&CK relationships, mapped tactics (the mapped ATT&CK tactic context), supported platforms (Windows), and available local telemetry before making detection or mitigation decisions.

Likely telemetry

  • Official ATT&CK relationships and object metadata
  • Network, endpoint, and security-tool telemetry

Detection direction

  • Validate whether S0060: Sys10 appears in your detection coverage and tabletop scenarios.
  • Use the object to align executive risk language with SOC, incident response, and detection engineering work.
  • Do not treat ATT&CK relationship context as attribution without corroborating evidence.

Mitigation priorities

  • Map the object to existing controls and identify missing telemetry or response ownership.
  • Prioritize mitigations that reduce exposure on the listed platforms and tactics.
  • Review adjacent ATT&CK relationships before changing policy, detections, or reporting language.
Additional notes and limits

Baseline Glexia take generated from the official MITRE ATT&CK STIX object, source hash, tactics, platforms, and detection fields. It is safe to replace with a richer model-generated take for the same source hash later.

This baseline take is source-grounded and schema-validated, but it does not include environment-specific telemetry, incident evidence, or threat-intelligence corroboration.

Generated from the cited source records. This long-tail analysis has not been individually reviewed by a named human.

Treat this object as behavior context, not an attribution claim. Validate the related groups, software, data sources, and mitigations against official ATT&CK relationships and your own telemetry before making control-coverage decisions.

ATT&CK relationship table

Techniques used

This mirrors the MITRE pattern of making group, software, campaign, and technique relationships scannable. Relationship notes come from mirrored ATT&CK relationship text when available.

6 rows
DomainIDNameRelationship / procedure
EnterpriseT1573.001Symmetric CryptographySub-technique

Sys10 uses an XOR 0x1 loop to encrypt its C2 domain.[1]

EnterpriseT1069.001Local GroupsSub-technique

Sys10 collects the group name of the logged-in user and sends it to the C2.[1]

EnterpriseT1082System Information Discovery

Sys10 collects the computer name, OS versioning information, and OS install date and sends the information to the C2.[1]

EnterpriseT1016System Network Configuration Discovery

Sys10 collects the local IP address of the victim and sends it to the C2.[1]

EnterpriseT1071.001Web ProtocolsSub-technique

Sys10 uses HTTP for C2.[1]

EnterpriseT1033System Owner/User Discovery

Sys10 collects the account name of the logged-in user and sends it to the C2.[1]

G0019: Naikon

Naikon is assessed to be a state-sponsored cyber espionage group attributed to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Chengdu Military Region Second Technical Reconnaissance Bureau (Military Unit Cover Designator 78020).[1] Active since at least 2010, Naikon has primarily conducted operations against government, military, and civil organizations in Southeast Asia, as well as against international bodies such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).[1][2]

While Naikon shares some characteristics with APT30, the two groups do not appear to be exact matches.[3]
