🆕We publish today the result of a deep-dive investigation into a malicious campaign leveraging #ShadowPad and #PlugX to distribute a previously-undocumented ransomware, dubbed #NailaoLocker.
This campaign targeted 🇪🇺 organizations during S2 2024 and is tied to Chinese TA 🇨🇳.

While monitoring recent #Emmenhtal iterations, we observed a distinct politically-aligned cluster 🇪🇺, strongly differing from usual financially motivated Emmenhtal distribs.
This cluster drops another malware we dubbed #Edam Dropper🧀
