Sophisticated Malware Found on the Network of a European Energy Company


Security researchers from SentinelOne have stumbled upon a malware campaign targeting at least one European energy company, which features a large arsenal of tools rarely seen in ordinary malware samples. The detail that particularly stood out as regards the malware's code was the fact that its creators spent a great amount of time to make sure their threat wouldn't raise any flags on infected hosts. This level of detail and attention is usually found in the malware used by nation states. SentinelOne experts believe that a threat actor residing in Eastern Europe may have been behind this malware, which they dubbed Furtim's Parent.
