googleaccountsvc.exe is a malicious Windows PE (.NET) executable impersonating a Google account service. Detected by 50/71 AV vendors and confirmed malicious by sandbox analysis.
SHA-256: 844abcc08b3576ea64b732efbd69dc5e86e3fe25850f1773f827f397585487dd

The sample establishes persistence via a scheduled task at logon (highest privileges) and executes from %APPDATA%. It performs sandbox/debugger evasion and obfuscated command execution.

C2 evidence: the malware communicates with multiple suspicious domains including
af88.cn.com, af88.uk.net, af88.eu.com, biglobe-auth.jp.net, and portal.de.com, using uncommon ports 80, 443, 6666, and 8443. Observed network traffic matches malicious JA3 SSL fingerprints associated with AsyncRAT, strongly indicating RAT-style C2 communication.
