Just the words—advanced persistent threats—are frightening. More concerning—Celerium is finding advanced persistent threat activity in several of our clients.
A Chinese hacking group, Silver Fox APT, has been leveraging trojanized versions of patient medical imaging software (Philips DICOM Viewer) to infiltrate healthcare systems. They gained unauthorized access to healthcare networks where they have compromised sensitive data and disrupted operations.
Celerium has identified related Alibaba Cloud buckets hosting additional first-stage malware. This malware mimics more than the Philips DICOM Viewer software, indicating broader targeting that extends beyond healthcare.
While this example targeted healthcare, the tactics—trojanizing trusted tools, hiding in cloud infrastructure, and deploying first-stage and multi-stage malware—are increasingly being used to target MSPs and their clients across sectors.
Celerium has identified possible attempts to download first-stage malware from these Alibaba Cloud buckets on the networks of our clients.
