Threat Update: Turla Group Malware Targets UK

New intelligence is available from the United Kingdom's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) on two tools used by the Turla group to target the UK, known as Neuron and Nautilus.

The malware, often used in conjunction with the Snake rootkit, could allow attackers to gain remote access to and control of the target environments. The report, available here, contains indicators of compromise and signatures that will enable the information security community to search for and identify the intrusions on their networks.

As more signatures become available, ensure that your anti-virus systems are up to date. Herjavec Group recommends checking for the presence of these malicious tools, regardless of whether or not you have been compromised by the Turla group in the past.

For more information please connect with a Herjavec Group security specialist.
