ShadowPad: A Masterpiece of Privately Sold Malware in Chinese Espionage
released on 2021-08-20 @ 08:11:00 AM
ShadowPad emerged in 2015 as the successor to PlugX. However, it was not until several infamous supply-chain incidents occurred – CCleaner, NetSarang and ShadowHammer – that it started to receive widespread attention in the public domain. Unlike the publicly-sold PlugX, ShadowPad is privately shared among a limited set of users.
