New stealthy and modular Deadglyph malware used in govt attacks

Middle Eastern government agencies have been targeted by a new backdoor malware named ‘Deadglyph’ attributed to UAE state-sponsored hacking group Stealth Falcon (also known as Project Raven or FruityArmor). The stealthy modular software infects Windows devices using advanced evasion techniques. Deadglyph has been designed to adapt to specific targets and self-delete to prevent research and analysis. Cybersecurity firm ESET has revealed an in-depth analysis of the malware but acknowledges the lack of specific defense strategies.
