US energy providers hit with new malware in targeted attacks

The malware dubbed FlowCloud is a full-fledged RAT that gives the TA410 operators total control over compromised devices, as well as the capability to harvest and exfiltrate information to attacker-controlled servers. The attackers have potentially tried to pose as another hacking group, namely TA429 (APT10), by including the http://ffca.com/ffca/.com/rwjh/qtinfo.txt URL as an alternate download server.
