Today, we released a new report from FireEye Labs entitled
Chain Analysis: From Quartermaster to Sunshop
.
The report details how many seemingly unrelated cyber attacks may,
in fact, be part of a broader offensive fueled by a shared development
and logistics infrastructure — a finding that suggests some targets
are facing a more organized menace than they realize. Our research
points to centralized planning and development by one or more advanced
persistent threat (APT) actors. Malware clearly remains a desired
cyber weapon of choice. Streamlining development makes financial sense
for attackers, so the findings may imply a bigger trend towards
industrialization that achieves an economy of scale.
