Phishing Attacks Target US Utilities with Remote Access Trojan

The previously undocumented malware has been dubbed LookBack by the Proofpoint Threat Insight Team researchers who discovered and analyzed the phishing attacks and the dropped malicious payloads. The phishing emails appeared to impersonate a US-based engineering licensing board with emails originating from what appears to be an actor-controlled domain, nceess[.]com.
