Abstract

“ This is the second article in a row where I am going to disclose the presence of another new backdoor malware. I have recently seen this backdoor emerging on the threat landscape while investigating some targeted attacks. I named this malware Leouncia. Why? I'll make it clear later.

Like VinSelf, Leouncia is a powerful backdoor that is designed to take complete control over the infected machine. In terms of code base, both malware look very different, but during my investigation, I found some definite design similarities. I also found additional evidence that is sufficient to link the botnet operators behind these two malware.
