Chinese Malware Appears in Earnest Across Cybercrime Threat Landscape
released on 2023-09-20 @ 02:03:15 PM
Proofpoint recently observed a minor resurgence in the use of Sainbox and other Chinese-themed malware. Proofpoint research suggests that this activity does not seem to be related to a single entity but rather appears to be a cluster of activities based on temporal patterns. The appearance of ValleyRAT alongside the older families hints at the possibility of their relationship in terms of timing. Proofpoint anticipates ValleyRAT will be used more frequently in the future.
