Newly Discovered APT Group Targets Middle East Firms: Report

A newly discovered advanced persistent threat group is targeting industrial firms in the Middle East with a new type of backdoor Trojan. Kaspersky: ‘WildPressure’ appears to have links to a nation-state, although it’s not clear what government may be backing its activities. The APT group uses a backdoor Trojan that the security firm calls “Milum” The backdoor is designed to steal and exfilitate data, and it maintains a silent presence within the infrastructure, the report says. Milum is capable of silently executing and sending files; getting file attributes; deleting itself; receiving the latest version of the malware and removing the older one.”]
