Bitdefender recently investigated an APT-style cyberespionage attack targeting an international architectural and video production company, pointing to an advanced threat actor and South Korean-based C&C infrastructure.
The targeted company is known to have been collaborating in billion-dollar real estate projects in New York, London, Australia, and Oman. The sophistication of the attack reveals that the APT-style group had prior knowledge of the company’s security systems and used software applications, carefully planning their attack to infiltrate the company and exfiltrate data undetected.
