New Malware Campaign Attacks Manufacturing Industry

Lumma Stealer and Amaday Bot Resurface

In a recent multi-stage cyberattack, Cyble Research and Intelligence (CRIL) found an attack campaign hitting the manufacturing industry. The campaign depends upon process injection techniques aimed at delivering malicious payloads like Amaday Bot and Lumma Stealer.

The attack’s effectiveness stems from its ability to exploit the name of a legitimate cloud-based document management system (LogicalDOC), commonly used in manufacturing and engineering industries, to convince targets into opening the file,” reports the Cyber Ex
