Hackers Exploit PyBitmessage Library to Evade Antivirus and Network Security Detection
The AhnLab Security Intelligence Center (ASEC) has uncovered a new strain of backdoor malware being distributed alongside a Monero coin miner. This malware leverages the PyBitmessage library, a Python implementation of the Bitmessage protocol, to establish covert peer-to-peer (P2P) communications. Unlike traditional HTTP or IP-based methods, PyBitmessage encrypts data exchanges and anonymizes both sender and…
