"Russian APT Turla Wields Novel Backdoor Malware Against Polish NGOs"

Turla, a Russia-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, is now targeting Polish Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in a cyber espionage campaign involving a newly developed backdoor with modular capabilities. According to information shared by Cisco Talos on Turla, the backdoor used in the attacks, dubbed TinyTurla-NG, functions similarly to the APT's known custom malware called TinyTurla. Cisco Talos researchers described it as a "last-chance" backdoor left behind to be used after all other unauthorized access/backdoor mechanisms have failed or been detected on infected systems. This article continues to discuss researchers' findings regarding the new backdoor malware being used by the Turla APT group against Polish NGOs.
