Malware Spotlight – Into the Trash: Analyzing LitterDrifter

siteadmin November 17, 2023

Russian espionage group, Gamaredon, has been using a new self-propagating worm dubbed LitterDrifter to target nearly exclusively Ukrainian entities. The worm is spread via USB drives and maintains communication with a set of command-and-control servers. Its design supports large-scale data collection while remaining simple, effective, and focused on regional targets. Although the primary targets are in Ukraine, infections have been noted in the USA, Vietnam, Chile, Poland, Germany, and Hong Kong.
