Cisco Talos researchers spot a stealthy new remote administration tool calling ROKRAT that targets Korean-language Microsoft Word alternative Hangul Word Processor.
Mike Mimoso and Chris Brook recap the first day of this year’s Security Analyst Summit, including Mark Dowd’s memory corruption bug keynote, the digital archeology around Moonlight Maze, ATM hacking, and the Lazarus APT.
