This sneaky malware has been attacking major US infrastructure for nearly a year

AT&T’s Alien Labs has discovered that major US infrastructure firms have been targeted by hackers using remote access trojans for nearly a year. The unidentified hackers used over 100 domains to send phishing emails, subsequently deploying open-source remote access tool AsyncRat to potentially access an array of features including keylogging and data exfiltration. The attackers seem to have chosen their targets with a view to maximising the impact of their campaign.
