PAKLOG is a keylogger known to be leveraged by Mustang Panda and was first observed utilized in 2024. PAKLOG is deployed via a RAR archive (e.g., key.rar), which contains two files: a signed, legitimate binary (PACLOUD.exe) and the malicious PAKLOG DLL (pa_lang2.dll). The PACLOUD.exe binary is used to side-load the PAKLOG DLL which starts with the keylogger functionality.
