APT36, a known advanced persistent threat group, is actively targeting Indian entities with a sophisticated malware called ElizaRAT. This malware is primarily designed for espionage, with a focus on data exfiltration and covert communication. Recent campaigns have shown significant improvements in ElizaRAT’s evasion techniques, making it a potent tool for persistent attacks. The malware leverages cloud-based services for communication and data exfiltration, enabling it to operate stealthily and evade detection. The integration of ApoloStealer into the latest ElizaRAT campaign further enhances its capabilities, allowing the threat actor to steal a wider range of sensitive data.
