A dangerous new cybercrime group has been spotted targeting government agencies and military organizations in the Asia-Pacific region.
According to multiple cybersecurity firms who spotted the threat actor, it seems to be deploying unorthodox tactics to obtain sensitive information from target endpoints(opens in new tab).
Two cybersecurity firms were initially tracking the attackers – Group-IB, and Anheng Hunting Labs. While the former dubbed the group Dark Pink, the latter calls it Saaiwc Group. Regardless of the name, the hackers are using spear-phishing attacks for initial deployment, and infected USB drives for spreading.
