Latest security updates unveiled an advanced persistent threat (APT) attack that affected over a million ASUS users worldwide. There were also several retailers and pharmaceutical companies located in Asia targeted by the ShadowHammer attack. Among the other targets were Electronics Extreme (authors of the ‘Infestation: Survivor Stories’ zombie survival game), Innovative Extremist, another IT and game development company, and Zepetto (the South Korean authors of the ‘Point Blank’ video game). In these other attacks, similar algorithms were used and just like in the ASUS case, legitimately signed certificates were used. Update 23rd April 2019: Further research revealed that the ShadowHammer malware has targeted and successfully attacked multiple companies, not just ASUS.
