A cyberattack campaign that goes after aviation targets has been uncovered. The campaign is spreading remote access trojan (RAT) malware bent on cyber-espionage. Individuals in the aerospace and travel sectors are being targeted with a range of gambits, such as using the ruse of needing transportation-charter help. Researchers from Microsoft said this week on Twitter that spear-phishing emails are the main attack vector. They said that the campaign shows a new trend in malware gang activity: Specializing in attacking certain vertical sectors beyond financial and government targets.
