Background
FireEye characterizes this malware as a heavily obfuscated bot present in the wild since mid-2013. It has left almost no footprint online, can surveil its victims undetected, and is even able to wipe out a hard disk and render a PC unusable.
Through their Dynamic Threat Intelligence, FireEye tracked numerous campaigns hitting a variety of sectors across the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Canada, Peru, and Poland, with the financial services and insurance industries most affected. While the infection method itself was not novel, the final payload they named LATENTBOT stood out for its multiple obfuscation layers, distinctive exfiltration scheme, and notable success in compromising many organizations.
