MITRE ATT&CK® Technique

T1070.006: Timestomp

Adversaries may modify file time attributes to hide new files or changes to existing files. Timestomping is a technique that modifies the timestamps of a file (the modify, access, create, and change times), often to mimic files that are in the same folder and blend malicious files with legitimate files.

In Windows systems, both the `$STANDARD_INFORMATION` (`$SI`) and `$FILE_NAME` (`$FN`) attributes record times in a Master File Table (MFT) file.[1] `$SI` (dates/time stamps) is displayed to the end user, including in the File System view, while `$FN` is dealt with by the kernel.[2]

Modifying the `$SI` attribute is the most common method of timestomping because it can be modified at the user level using API calls. `$FN` timestomping, however, typically requires interacting with the system kernel or moving or renaming a file.[1]

Adversaries modify timestamps on files so that they do not appear conspicuous to forensic investigators or file analysis tools. In order to evade detections that rely on identifying discrepancies between the `$SI` and `$FN` attributes, adversaries may also engage in “double timestomping” by modifying times on both attributes simultaneously.[3]

In Linux systems and on ESXi servers, threat actors may attempt to perform timestomping using commands such as `touch -a -m -t ` (which sets access and modification times to a specific value) or `touch -r ` (which sets access and modification times to match those of another file).[4][5]

Timestomping may be used along with file name Masquerading to hide malware and tools.[6]

Security context for executives and security teams

Automation confidenceHigh

Timestomping matters because it attacks the timeline defenders rely on after an incident. By changing file timestamps on Windows, Linux, macOS, or ESXi systems, an adversary can make newly introduced or modified files look ordinary, older, or consistent with neighboring files. For leaders, the risk is not just a hidden file; it is reduced confidence in incident scoping, audit timelines, malware triage, and restoration decisions.

Executive priority

Prioritize this where file integrity, forensic readiness, and rapid incident reconstruction are business-critical: servers, ESXi hosts, web-facing systems, privileged administration paths, and systems supporting regulated or operationally sensitive functions. The ATT&CK relationships show this technique is used across multiple campaigns, groups, and malware families, so executives should ask whether the organization can independently validate file timelines rather than relying only on user-visible timestamps.

Technical view

T1070.006 is a stealth sub-technique of Indicator Removal. On Windows, teams should understand the distinction between NTFS $STANDARD_INFORMATION timestamps, which are commonly user-modifiable and visible in normal file views, and $FILE_NAME timestamps, which may provide comparison value but can also be altered through more involved methods or double timestomping. On Linux and ESXi, ATT&CK notes use of timestamp-setting behavior such as touch-style access and modification time changes. SOC and IR teams should validate cross-platform detection logic against metadata tampering, including the related ATT&CK detection strategy DET0591, while treating timestamp anomalies as investigative leads rather than standalone proof of compromise.

Likely telemetry

  • File metadata from Windows NTFS, including $STANDARD_INFORMATION and $FILE_NAME timestamp fields where available
  • Endpoint file creation, modification, rename, and move events
  • Command execution telemetry for timestamp-changing utilities or API-driven file metadata changes
  • Linux, macOS, and ESXi file access and modification timestamp records
  • File integrity monitoring or baseline comparison data for sensitive directories

Detection direction

  • Validate whether detections compare multiple timestamp sources rather than relying only on user-visible file times.
  • Tune analytics for improbable timestamp patterns, timestamp alignment with many neighboring files, and mismatches between creation, modification, access, and change times.
  • On Windows, include checks for $SI and $FN inconsistencies, while recognizing that double timestomping may reduce this signal.
  • On Linux and ESXi, review command and file metadata evidence for explicit timestamp-setting behavior such as touch-style access and modification time changes.
  • Correlate timestamp anomalies with file name masquerading, unexpected file placement, tool staging, web shell activity, or other suspicious host behavior when available.

Mitigation priorities

  • Preserve high-value file metadata and forensic artifacts during incident response so timeline manipulation can be investigated later.
  • Establish file integrity monitoring and known-good baselines for critical directories, administrative tooling locations, web server paths, and ESXi/Linux/Windows management areas.
  • Limit unnecessary administrative access that can alter sensitive files and metadata, especially on servers and virtualization infrastructure.
  • Ensure endpoint and server logging captures file operations, command execution, and metadata changes with sufficient retention for incident timelines.
  • Use change-management evidence to distinguish authorized deployment or restore activity from suspicious timestamp manipulation.
Additional notes and limits

The most important defensive question is whether the organization can reconstruct a trustworthy sequence of file activity when an adversary intentionally makes timestamps misleading. ATT&CK links this technique to many groups, campaigns, and software entries, and also notes use with Masquerading, which makes directory context and naming patterns important during triage.

G1023: APT5

APT5 is a China-based espionage actor that has been active since at least 2007 primarily targeting the telecommunications, aerospace, and defense industries throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. APT5 has displayed advanced tradecraft and significant interest in compromising networking devices and their underlying software including through the use of zero-day exploits.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

GroupEnterprise

G1048: UNC3886

UNC3886 is a China-nexus cyberespionage group that has been active since at least 2022, targeting defense, technology, and telecommunication organizations located in the United States and the Asia-Pacific-Japan (APJ) regions. UNC3886 has displayed a deep understanding of edge devices and virtualization technologies through the exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities and the use of novel malware families and utilities.[1][2]

GroupEnterprise

G0082: APT38

APT38 is a North Korean state-sponsored threat group that specializes in financial cyber operations; it has been attributed to the Reconnaissance General Bureau.[1] Active since at least 2014, APT38 has targeted banks, financial institutions, casinos, cryptocurrency exchanges, SWIFT system endpoints, and ATMs in at least 38 countries worldwide. Significant operations include the 2016 Bank of Bangladesh heist, during which APT38 stole $81 million, as well as attacks against Bancomext [2] and Banco de Chile [2]; some of their attacks have been destructive.[1][2][3][4]

North Korean group definitions are known to have significant overlap, and some security researchers report all North Korean state-sponsored cyber activity under the name Lazarus Group instead of tracking clusters or subgroups.

GroupEnterprise

G0050: APT32

APT32 is a suspected Vietnam-based threat group that has been active since at least 2014. The group has targeted multiple private sector industries as well as foreign governments, dissidents, and journalists with a strong focus on Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, and Cambodia. They have extensively used strategic web compromises to compromise victims.[1][2][3]

GroupEnterprise

G0094: Kimsuky

Kimsuky is a Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)-based cyber espionage group that has been active since at least 2012. The group initially targeted South Korean government agencies, think tanks, and subject-matter experts in various fields. Its operations expanded to include the United Nations and organizations in the government, education, business services, and manufacturing sectors across the United States, Japan, Russia, and Europe. Kimsuky has focused collection on foreign policy and national security issues tied to the Korean Peninsula, nuclear policy, and sanctions. Kimsuky operations have overlapped with those of other North Korean state-sponsored cyber espionage actors as a result of ad hoc collaborations or other limited resource sharing.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Kimsuky was assessed to be responsible for the 2014 Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. compromise; other notable campaigns include Operation STOLEN PENCIL (2018), Operation Kabar Cobra (2019), and Operation Smoke Screen (2019).[7][8][9] In 2023, Kimsuky was observed using commercial large language models (LLMs) to assist with vulnerability research, scripting, social engineering and reconnaissance.[10]

DPRK threat actor cluster boundaries overlap in open source reporting, with some security researchers consolidating all attributed North Korean state-sponsored cyber activity under Lazarus Group, rather than tracking operationally distinct subgroups.

GroupEnterprise

G0016: APT29

APT29 is threat group that has been attributed to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).[1][2] They have operated since at least 2008, often targeting government networks in Europe and NATO member countries, research institutes, and think tanks. APT29 reportedly compromised the Democratic National Committee starting in the summer of 2015.[3][4][5][6]

In April 2021, the US and UK governments attributed the SolarWinds Compromise to the SVR; public statements included citations to APT29, Cozy Bear, and The Dukes.[7][8] Industry reporting also referred to the actors involved in this campaign as UNC2452, NOBELIUM, StellarParticle, Dark Halo, and SolarStorm.[9][10][11][12][13][14]

G0114: Chimera

Chimera is a suspected China-based threat group that has been active since at least 2018 targeting the semiconductor industry in Taiwan as well as data from the airline industry.[1][2]

GroupEnterprise

G0032: Lazarus Group

Lazarus Group is a North Korean state-sponsored cyber threat group attributed to the Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB). [1] [2] Lazarus Group has been active since at least 2009 and is reportedly responsible for the November 2014 destructive wiper attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment, identified by Novetta as part of Operation Blockbuster. Malware used by Lazarus Group correlates to other reported campaigns, including Operation Flame, Operation 1Mission, Operation Troy, DarkSeoul, and Ten Days of Rain.[3]

North Korea’s cyber operations have shown a consistent pattern of adaptation, forming and reorganizing units as national priorities shift. These units frequently share personnel, infrastructure, malware, and tradecraft, making it difficult to attribute specific operations with high confidence. Public reporting often uses “Lazarus Group” as an umbrella term for multiple North Korean cyber operators conducting espionage, destructive attacks, and financially motivated campaigns.[4][5][6]

GroupEnterprise

G0129: Mustang Panda

Mustang Panda is a China-based cyber espionage threat actor that has been conducting operations since at least 2012. Mustang Panda has been known to use tailored phishing lures and decoy documents to deliver malicious payloads.

C0024: SolarWinds Compromise

The SolarWinds Compromise was a sophisticated supply chain cyber operation conducted by APT29 that was discovered in mid-December 2020. APT29 used customized malware to inject malicious code into the SolarWinds Orion software build process that was later distributed through a normal software update; they also used password spraying, token theft, API abuse, spear phishing, and other supply chain attacks to compromise user accounts and leverage their associated access. Victims of this campaign included government, consulting, technology, telecom, and other organizations in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This activity has been labled the StellarParticle campaign in industry reporting.[1] Industry reporting also initially referred to the actors involved in this campaign as UNC2452, NOBELIUM, Dark Halo, and SolarStorm.[2][3][4][5][1][6][7][8]

In April 2021, the US and UK governments attributed the SolarWinds Compromise to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR); public statements included citations to APT29, Cozy Bear, and The Dukes.[9][10][11] The US government assessed that of the approximately 18,000 affected public and private sector customers of Solar Winds’ Orion product, a much smaller number were compromised by follow-on APT29 activity on their systems.[12]
