Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research and Analysis Team discovered a malicious Word document last week that appears to stem from a campaign against one of the malware s favorite targets, Ukraine. Researchers believe the group behind the malware may have already used BlackEnergy in an attack against a Ukrainian television channel by tricking someone there into opening an infected document about a far-right Ukrainian nationalist political party. BlackEnergy has existed in some shape or form since 2007 but some could argue it wasn t until 2014, when it started incorporating SCADA plugins and targeting the energy sector, both in Ukraine and worldwide.
