The PlugX families we observed used DNS [ T1071.001 ] [ T1071.004 ] as the transport channel for C2 traffic, in particular TXT queries. Another clue that helped us was the use of DNS tunneling by Winnti which we discovered traces of in memory. The hardcoded 208.67.222.222 resolves to a legitimate OpenDNS DNS server.
