Bitdefender researchers have recently found the APT group StrongPity has been targeting victims in Turkey and Syria.
Using watering hole tactics to selectively infect victims and deploying a three-tier C&C infrastructure to thwart forensic investigations, the APT group leveraged Trojanized popular tools, such as archivers, file recovery applications, remote connections applications, utilities, and even security software, to cover a wide range of options that targeted victims might be seeking.

Joining us on this week's Research Saturday to discuss the research is Bitdefender's Liviu Arsene.
