Microsoft has found a file-transfer tool used by the Platinum APT that leverages Intel Active Management Technology to stealthily load malware onto networked computers.

Experts have confirmed there are similarities between code used by the ransomware WannaCry and the Lazarus APT.

Researchers at Kaspersky Lab today disclosed the activities of the Lamberts APT, a group using many of the tools and tactics found in the Vault 7 dumps.

The Lazarus Group has splintered off a group whose mission is to attack banks and steal money in order to fund its operations.

Researchers may have found a link between Moonlight Maze of the late ’90s and the Turla APT, which would elevate Turla to the ranks of the Equation Group as an elite nation-state attacker.

Increasingly, governments are outsourcing state-sponsored attacks to mitigate risk and maximize intelligence.

Microsoft said Russian APT group Sofacy, which has ties to the country’s military intelligence operations, has been using Windows kernel and Adobe Flash zero day vulnerabilities in targeted attacks.

The FruityArmor APT group was using one of the Windows zero days patched by Microsoft last week to escape sandboxes and carry out targeted attacks.
