About this tag
NeedyMantis is a modular malware family documented by Microsoft Threat Intelligence as a persistent backdoor installed after attackers have already gained a foothold in a network. Coverage on WindowsForum.com focuses on what the threat means for Windows administrators: the malware uses DLL sideloading into ordinary third-party Windows applications, and Microsoft published file hashes, a command-and-control domain, and hunting queries for Defender XDR and Sentinel.
