Across the Asia Pacific, cyber security communities are sharing information about malicious actor techniques from other regions, in hopes of avoiding copycat attacks. In one case, data theft from a US government agency exploit was foiled when individual users repeatedly asked IT to have their malware-ridden laptops re-imaged. It turns out, it wasn’t just malware that was the security issue – the malware was a cover up for a sophisticated ring of insider data-stealing activities. Each time the externally-based ring leader thought their data stealing attempts might be discovered, the malware was inflicted on internal users to force a reimage and cover their tracks.
