The Naikon APT group has been unmasked in a long-term espionage campaign against several governments in the Asia-Pacific region. The campaign is targeting countries in the APAC region, including Australia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Brunei. The group was first uncovered by Kaspersky researchers in 2015, in attacks against top-level government agencies around the South China Sea. After 2015, the group seemingly went silent. However, a widespread campaign reveals the group has actually spent the past five years quietly developing their skills and introducing the “Aria-body”” backdoor into their arsenal of weapons.”
