Have you heard about the latest findings from ESET’s research this week? Deciphering the origins of a cyberattack isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

Unraveling the complexities behind attributing a cyberattack to a specific threat actor can be quite challenging, as demonstrated by the latest ESET research. A recent discovery by ESET experts shed light on a new APT group named CeranaKeeper, with ties to China, targeting governmental institutions in Thailand. Interestingly, CeranaKeeper was found to utilize tools previously associated with Mustang Panda. However, a detailed analysis of their tactics, techniques, code, and infrastructure indicates that CeranaKeeper and Mustang Panda are distinct entities.
