The notorious threat actor, ChamelGang, has been discovered using a new malware to backdoor Linux systems. This expansion of the group’s capabilities has been observed by cybersecurity researchers from Stairwell.
The newly discovered malware is called ChamelDoH and is a C++-based tool for communicating via DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) tunneling. This method of communication makes it harder to detect and block the malware’s traffic.
ChamelGang was first identified by Positive Technologies, a Russian cybersecurity firm, in September of 2021. Since then, they have been linked to various cyber attacks, including supply chain attacks and crypto mining campaigns. The discovery of ChamelDoH marks a new expansion of the group’s capabilities.
