QUADAGENT

By GoldSparrow in Malware

QUADAGENT is a PowerShell backdoor and another tool used by the OilRig group to perform attacks on targeted machines. The OilRig group main targets are, until now, espionage-motivated data. Last year, there were various reports about attacks that targeted a Government Agency and a Technology Service Provider, both located in the Middle East. Security researchers believe that it was looking for compromised accounts and data to collect and an open-source toolkit named Invoke-Obfuscation provided an efficient obfuscation to QUADAGENT.

There are countless technical details about QUADAGENT that can prove the high sophistication used to develop QUADAGENT and similar threats. The common computer user may get lost when infected by a threat of this magnitude, and even powerful corporations may have a hard time getting hid of them. This is why we would like to remember computer users and admins that an updated and trustable security scanner is the most effective technique to maintain their environments secure.
