In quite an eye-opening development, it seems the government wasn’t busy bickering just among themselves, but were also dealing with an unwelcome guest, a cyber espionage campaign known as Operation Jacana. I tell ya, those cyber shenanigans never take a day off!
– The governmental entity in Guyana was targeted by a cyber espionage campaign called Operation Jacana.
– ESET, the Slovak cybersecurity firm, detected the activity in February 2023.
– The intrusion involved a spear-phishing attack that led to the deployment of an as yet undocumented implant, written in C++, named DinodasRAT.
– The cybersecurity firm was able to link the intrusion to a known malicious actor or group.
Now, this was not just any ordinary phishing attack. It was a spear-phishing attack (sounds techy, right?). This led to the deployment of a rare breed of cyber beast called DinodasRAT(Perhaps it’s a distant cousin of the T-Rex?). This unique implant, written in C++, was undocumented until now. Seems like even the tech world has its own version of Jurassic Park!
This is where things get more interesting. The sleuths at cybersecurity firm ESET could link this intrusion to a particular group or individual. Just like in an Agatha Christie novel, there’s always a suspect!
In a nutshell, the tech-pirates are back at it again with a shiny new operation called Operation Jacana. This particular escapade targeted a governmental entity in Guyana. Identified by the keen eyes at ESET, this incident involved a spear-phishing attack (because simple ‘phishing’ is too mainstream for these hackers, apparently!) leading to the deployment of a previously undocumented ‘cyber beast’, DinodasRAT. The crafty folks at ESET could even establish a link between the intrusion and a known threat. You can bet your last dime that this tech-whodunit will keep on spinning!
So next time you hear the word ‘phishing’, remember, it’s not always about picking up your rod and reel. It might just be a tale of how the internet’s version of Captain Hook is off to find his next victim. Now there’s a catch you wouldn’t want to reel in!Original Article: https://thehackernews.com/2023/10/guyana-governmental-entity-hit-by.html
