A sophisticated computer “mole” has been discovered in the computers of Myanmar government and non-governmental organizations, which is believed to have been launched by an Asian source.
The cyber threat was announced by Arbor’s Security Engineering and Response Team (ASERT) on its website on January 11. ASERT called the computer threat “The Seven Pointed Dagger.”
The computer threat involves a newly discovered Remote Access Trojan (RAT) which has been labeled Trochilus by security researchers at Arbor Networks.
Trochilus (pronounced “tro kil us”) is part of a seven-piece malware cluster that offer hackers a variety of capabilities, including deep entry into compromised networks and snooping on data, ASERT said on its website. (Courtesy of Mizzima)
