Eagerbee Malware Targets Middle Eastern Government and ISPs

/ 1 min read

🦠 Eagerbee malware targets Middle Eastern government and ISP networks. New variants of the Eagerbee malware framework are being used in attacks against government organizations and internet service providers in the Middle East, with potential links to the Chinese state-backed group known as ‘CoughingDown.’ Kaspersky researchers noted similarities in code and command-and-control domain overlaps between the two. The malware exploits vulnerabilities like the Microsoft Exchange ProxyLogon flaw to gain access, deploying a backdoor that collects system information and allows extensive control over compromised systems. Eagerbee’s capabilities include file management, process control, remote access, and network monitoring, making it a significant threat. Organizations are advised to patch vulnerabilities and monitor for indicators of compromise to mitigate risks.
