MITRE ATT&CK technique

T1020 — Automated Exfiltration

Last fetched

T1020 (Automated Exfiltration) is a MITRE ATT&CK technique tracked in WhisperGraph, serving the Exfiltration tactic.

Description

Adversaries may exfiltrate data, such as sensitive documents, through the use of automated processing after being gathered during Collection.(Citation: ESET Gamaredon June 2020) When automated exfiltration is used, other exfiltration techniques likely apply as well to transfer the information out of the network, such as [Exfiltration Over C2 Channel](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1041) and [Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1048).
