### Overview
The custom backdoor begins communicating with a Command and Control (C2) server once installed. This stage marks the lateral movement phase, where the attacker maintains control over the compromised devices.

### Observations
- **C2 Channels:** Utilizes HTTPS for encrypted communication, making detection challenging.
- **Behavioral Patterns:** Regular check-ins with the server and potential data upload activity.

### Recommendations
- **Network Monitoring:** Deploy advanced monitoring to identify atypical HTTPS traffic patterns.
- **Threat Intelligence:** Leverage threat intelligence feeds to flag known APT32 infrastructure.
