This query was originally published in the threat analytics report, Solorigate supply chain attack. Please note that these attacks are currently known as the Nobelium campaign.
Microsoft detects the 2020 SolarWinds supply chain attack implant and its other components as part of a campaign by the Nobelium activity group. Nobelium is the threat actor behind the attack against SolarWinds, which was previously referred to as Solorigate.
Nobelium silently added malicious code to legitimate software updates for Orion, which is IT monitoring software provided by SolarWinds. In this way, malicious dynamic link libraries (DLLs) were distributed to SolarWinds customers.
The following query locates malicious Nobelium-associated DLLs that have been loaded into memory on affected systems.
More Nobelium-related queries can be found listed under the See also section of this document.

These queries was originally published in the threat analytics report, Attacks on gov't, think tanks, NGOs.
As described further in Analysis of cyberattack on U.S. think tanks, non-profits, public sector by unidentified attackers, there was a very large spear-phishing campaign launched in November 2019.
The attackers would gain access to a target by having the user click on a link to a compromised website and download a .zip archive.
Once established on a target's device, the attackers used a malicious DLL named cyzfc.dat to execute additional payloads. They would call a function in the malicious DLL via the legitimate Windows process, rundll32.exe, to connect directly to their command-and-control (C2) servers.
The following queries detect activity associated with the malicious DLL, cyzfc.dat., used in this campaign.

Microsoft Defender for Identity raises alert on suspicious Kerberos ticket, pointing to a potential overpass-the-hash attack.
Once attackers gain credentials for a user with higher privileges, they will use the stolen credentials to sign into other devices and move laterally.
This query finds related sign-in events following overpass-the-hash attack to trace the footprint of the impersonated user.

This query looks for signs of impacket wmipersist usage and should work for other wmi based persistence methods. Requires analysis.

This query will detect encoded powershell based on the parameters passed during process creation. This query will also work if the PowerShell executable is renamed or tampered with since detection is based solely on a regex of the launch string.
This query looks for signs of impacket dcomexec module.
