🐾 Silent Lynx cyber group targets Central Asian entities with sophisticated attacks. A newly identified threat actor, Silent Lynx, has been linked to cyber attacks against various organizations in Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, including embassies and government-backed banks. The group, believed to originate from Kazakhstan, employs spear-phishing tactics with RAR archive attachments to deliver malicious payloads that enable remote access to compromised systems. Their multi-stage attack strategy utilizes ISO files, C++ binaries, and PowerShell scripts, with command and control facilitated through Telegram bots. Seqrite Labs noted similarities between Silent Lynx and another group, YoroTrooper, indicating a broader trend of espionage-focused cyber activities in Central Asia.
