A nine-year-old web shell used for providing remote access to web servers for cyberattackers is staying very active despite its advanced age. Researchers said they ve spotted it being used in several recent campaigns all with disparate goals. The tool, known as China Chopper, allows attackers to retain access to an infected web server using a client-side application. The client contains all the logic required to control the target, which makes it very easy to use. Once established, the backdoor allows adversaries to execute various commands on the server, drop malware and more.
