Experts at Palo Alto Networks have discovered a new malware family named Reaver with ties to hackers who use the SunOrcal malware. The Chinese cyberspies deliver the malware Windows Control Panel (CPL) files, a technique not common in the threat landscape. Reaver is also somewhat unique in the fact that its final payload is in the form of a Control panel item, or CPL file, to load the final payload. The malware was already observed in highly targeted attacks during 2016. The threat actors targeted the movements the Chinese government perceives as dangerous, so-called Five Poisons.”]
