External attack surface and ongoing cybercriminal activity in APAC region
We analyze external threats for organizations in APAC region based on the data collected by Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence service.
In this report we focus on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) of the DeftTorero (aka Lebanese Cedar or Volatile Cedar) threat actor, which targets Middle East countries.
Kimsuky (also known as Thallium, Black Banshee and Velvet Chollima) is a prolific and active threat actor primarily targeting Korea-related entities. In early 2022, we observed this group was attacking the media and a think-tank in South Korea.
VileRAT is a Python implant, part of an evasive and highly intricate attack campaign against foreign exchange and cryptocurrency trading companies.
Earlier, the CISA published an alert related to a Stairwell report, “Maui Ransomware.” Our data should openly help solidify the attribution of the Maui ransomware incident to the Korean-speaking APT Andariel, also known as Silent Chollima and Stonefly.
