Phishing attacks have spawned a slew of new malware threats in recent days, according to researchers who've identified a serious threat actor behind three new connected malware families -- which have been labeled as Doubledrag, Doubledrop, and Doubleback -- and another unrelated threat called Panda Stealer, which is a variant of a cryptocurrency stealer and is mostly being spread via global email spam.
Here's a rundown on these new malware discoveries, including what researchers have found and the implications herein: Let's start with a report from FireEye’s Mandiant cybersecurity team, which revealed malware strains that have never been seen before, with "professionally coded sophistication," and that came in two waves of phishing attacks globally. These attacks hit some 50 organizations at the end of 2020, with the first wave reported on December 2 and the second wave coming between December 11 and December 18.
