A yearlong cyberattack has been targeting security personnel by stealing their login credentials using Trojanized versions of open-source software.
The attack, reported by Checkmarx and Datadog Security Labs, infects the devices of security researchers and installs a backdoor to gather sensitive information.
The hackers, known as MUT-1244, have also conducted spear phishing campaigns and installed cryptomining software on infected machines.
This attack is part of a wave of similar incidents highlighting the need for improved security measures in protecting sensitive data and preventing data breaches.
