Cyberespionage group targets traveling execs through hotel networks

Cyberberespionage group known as Darkhotel targets corporate executives and entrepreneurs traveling in Asia-Pacific region. Infections are meant to target only specific guests by prompting them to download trojanized updates for popular software applications. The rogue software updates deploy malware implants that then download and install digitally-signed information-stealing programs. The group, also known as Tapaoux, is believed to have been operating since at least 2007 and has also used other attack techniques over the years including spear-phishing emails.”]
