The companies have billion-dollar luxury real-estate developers across four continents, engaging in architectural projects. The investigation also revealed that the cyber attackers used a malware command and control (C&C) server located in South Korea.
"When looking at our own telemetry, we found other samples that communicated with the same C&C server," said Liviu Arsene, the Senior E-Threat Analyst at Bitdefender."Which means that the group was not limited to only developing samples for the victim that we investigated," added Arsene.
The malicious malware samples also initiated connections to the C&C server from different countries such as United States, Japan, South Africa, and South Korea.
