A China-based cybercrime group has launched a campaign targeting organizations in Russia and India using a new malware named ABCDoor. The campaign involved phishing emails that appeared to be from the Income Tax Department of India, followed by similar attacks on Russian entities. Over 1,600 phishing emails were flagged, impacting various sectors. The campaign utilized a modified Rust-based loader to download the ValleyRAT backdoor, with the ABCDoor backdoor being part of the threat actor's arsenal since late 2024. The attack chain begins with a phishing email containing a malicious PDF file.
