Unmasking Krasue: The Hidden Linux Trojan Threatening Thailand’s Telecom Industry

An Evildoer Lurks in the Shadows: Unmasking Krasue

• A new Linux remote access trojan, named Krasue, targets telecom companies in Thailand.
• Krasue has been active since 2021, securing covert access to victims’ networks.
• Group-IB reveals Krasue’s uncanny ability to hide its presence during initialization.

BEWARE: Krasue on the Loose

Stealth and deception are the operating words for Krasue, an up till now unknown Linux remote access trojan. It’s been sneaking around Thailand’s telecom companies since 2021, showing an impressive knack for covert operations. This hidden threat was discovered by keen eyes; just like when Dad finds the remote you’ve misplaced for the upteenth time!

Poetic Malware:

Like its namesake – a nocturnal specter from Southeast Asian folklore – Krasue excels at keeping its presence under wraps. No need for invisible ink here! Group IB’s report exposes just how well Krasue camouflages itself during initialization. Just imagine if Dad could hide his ‘groan-worthy’ puns this well!

A “Spirit” of Secrecy:

Group-IB’s report emphasizes Krasue’s outstanding, perhaps even supernatural, stealth capabilities. This new kid in the block of cyber threat, much like our dear Dads hunting for the TV remote, knows how to stay undercover. Even during initialization – usually the phase where most programs leave a digital footprint, Krasue manages to stay as elusive as a bolt in a hardware store.

In Summary:

Krasue, a previously unknown Linux remote access trojan, has been causing a ruckus in Thailand’s telecom industry since 2021. Named after a spectral entity from Southeast Asian folklore, its uncanny talent to remain hidden during crucial operation phases makes it a significant threat. Just like our Dads manage to surreptitiously sneak leftovers from the fridge, Krasue too manages to infiltrate and maintain covert presence in victim networks. But don’t worry, much like Dad’s midnight snacking, we know it’s there now!

Just goes to show, the specter has been unmasked: the remote is always in the last place you look and cyber threats sometimes emerge from the least suspected places!Original Article: https://thehackernews.com/2023/12/new-stealthy-krasue-linux-trojan.html
