Abstract
“ Some days ago, TrendMicro published some information about a new version of a RAT called PlugX. From the last few months we have been tracking a group using the PlugX RAT that has been attacking different targets especially in Japan, Taiwan, Korea and against Tibetan organizations and individuals.
In this post we will focus on the intelligence we have extracted from the payloads of the attacks and how we used this information to track the author of the RAT that is very likely to be involved in the attacks as well.
