Operation Beebus is an APT-style attack campaign targeting government agencies in the U.S. and India as well as numerous aerospace, defense, and telecom industry organizations. The attackers are targeting these groups with a yet unseen backdoor-Trojan called Mutter that exploits known vulnerabilities. The malware is making use of an evasion technique similar to one deployed by those that attacked South Korean banks and broadcasters last month. At least one of those targets was an academic institution receiving military funding for its unmanned vehicle research.
