Lancefly, an APT group, is using a custom-written backdoor in attacks targeting government, aviation, education, and telecom organizations in South and Southeast Asia in an activity that has been ongoing for the past five years, according to Symantec. The group has been seen carrying out the activity with the motive of intelligence gathering.
Lancefly has been deploying the Merdoor backdoor in highly targeted attacks since 2018 to establish persistence, execute commands, and perform keylogging on corporate networks.
