Windows customization tool exploited in attack
According to the SoftService incident report, the attackers exploited a DLL hijacking vulnerabilitie in the legitimate Rainmeter application to deploy their ransomware.

Rainmeter is a legitimate Windows customization tool that loads a Rainmeter.dll when launched.

During the attack, the threat actors replaced the legitimate Rainmeter.dll with a malicious version compiled from the source code to deploy the ransomware.
