Neu Cyber Threats – 28th July 2022

A new piece of malware dubbed the “Swiss Army Knife” due to its modular architecture and capabilities has been recently discovered within the wild.

The malware is used to target Linux machines and employs a previously undetected threat called Lightning Framework. The core module for this framework acts on two tasks, maintaining persistency and establishing a connection to the command-and-control (C2) server, allowing for the ability to fetch commands.

This gives the attacker access to run remote code and traverse the network. It is the fifth malware strain discovered for Linux machines within three months. The other 4 are BDFDoor, Symbiote, Syslogk and OrBit.

To stay protected against this malware, ensure security measures are in place. Deploying network monitoring and using reputable anti-virus systems all assist with defending against attacks like this.
