Already in its 7th year, AVAR (short for “Association of Anti Virus Asian Researchers) is becoming an increasingly wide security even. It attracts attendees from Asian countries such as Korea, China or Japan but also from all around the world.

Kaspersky Lab will be demonstrating its newest technologies as well as the already established Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam and Anti-Hacker line of products at our booth, easily recognizable by the green umbrella.

Eugene will also be making a presentation on the evolution of the computer underground.

So, if you happen to be in Tokyo feel free to stop by the Sheraton Grande Bay and have a chat with us!

Dewa mata, more later!

Ferocious Kitten is an APT group that has been targeting Persian-speaking individuals in Iran. Some of the TTPs used by this threat actor are reminiscent of other groups, such as Domestic Kitten and Rampant Kitten. In this report we aim to provide more details on these findings.

In April 2021, we observed a suspicious Word document with a Korean file name and decoy. It revealed a novel infection scheme and an unfamiliar payload. After a deep analysis, we came to a conclusion: the Andariel group was behind these attacks.

We detected a wave of highly targeted attacks against multiple companies. Closer analysis revealed that all these attacks exploited a chain of Google Chrome and Microsoft Windows zero-day exploits.

A newly discovered rootkit that we dub ‘Moriya’ is used by an unknown actor to deploy passive backdoors on public facing servers, facilitating the creation of a covert C&C communication channel through which they can be silently controlled. The victims are located in Africa, South and South-East Asia.
