Security firm Kaspersky Lab says a persistent threat gang behind a series of cyberespionage-focused campaigns has tapped a zero-day exploit for a flaw in Adobe Flash after it was leaked in July. The APT gang has long employed trickery to exploit a number of high-profile targets, suggesting that potential victims will need to do more than just update their version of Flash Player to counter these types of attacks in the future. The group, known as “Darkhotel,” continues to favor diplomatic targets, as well as organizations that have “strategic commercial interests” in the Asia-Pacific region.”]
