MALWARE FOOTPRINT

Summary from the TLDR Cybersecurity newsletter

Microsoft has discovered a Chinese government-backed APT actor called Flax Typhoon that targets Taiwanese organizations with minimal malware use and stealthily persists by exploiting legitimate software tools. Flax Typhoon uses known vulnerabilities in public-facing servers and legitimate tools built into the Windows operating system to quietly remain in these networks, making it challenging to detect and mitigate the attack.
