'PlugX & PortScan Chinese Malware Surfacing in Non-Tech Companies' cybersecurity twingatehq
In the past few months, CYE has engaged in investigations at three separate companies across the globe after being alerted to suspicious network activity.
In general, it possesses full system control capabilities like keylogging, screen capture, modifying, executing, deleting files, exfiltration of data, etc. In this version, the attacker used the “pe2shellcode” to build the PlugX executable to load itself in the memory, and like other versions, it uses a legitimate signed executable to side-load the malicious dll.
Our investigation found the attacker used a new self-made port scanner tool written in RUST language. We suspect using RUST language was meant to evade detection by defense systems.
