ESET’s cybersecurity researchers have recently uncovered a relatively new hacker outfit that has had great success targeting organisations all around the world.
The researchers are still unsure of the group’s eventual goal, which goes by the name of Asylum Ambuscade. BleepingComputer claims that over the past three years, it has been active all over the world, but primarily in the West.
It makes use of many different tools, such as the Sunseed malware, Akhbot, and Nodebot, which enable the team to carry out a wide range of malicious operations, such as stealing screenshots, stealing passwords stored in well-known web browsers, deploying Cobalt Strike loaders, running a keylogger, and more.
In short, the group’s skills encompass everything from espionage to cybercrime.
They have a wide range of targets, including small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), government officials and organisations, bank customers, cryptocurrency speculators, and traders.
