Why the Sunburst Malware Was So Unique And What We’ve Learnt From It…
Sunburst Malware The SunBurst trojan was first reported on December 8th, 2020, and has been making headlines ever since. The Sunburst malware is significant both for its strategic and highly developed malicious logic and for its many targeted high-profile victims.
Sunburst Malware Reminiscent of the Duqu 2.0 nation-state attack in 2015, which successfully infiltrated Kaspersky, the sophistication of the Sunburst attack is indicative of a nation-state group that is sufficiently well-resourced to conduct the in-depth research and development that it would have necessitated. This is evident in the identification of Orion as a prime target to host a backdoor and the many other multiple evasion techniques that successfully avoided its detection for months in 2020.
Sunburst Malware Orion, the SolarWinds product that was compromised, was used by about 33,000 public and private sector customers, many of which were Fortune 500 companies and federal government agencies. This entailed the compromised data of many millions of their respective customers causing the event to be of wide public interest.For additional information regarding sunburst malware contact Deepinstinct
