Inside the sophisticated tactics and malware used to compromise top North American organizations.
MURKY PANDA, a China-linked cyber adversary, targets government, technology, academic, legal, and professional services organizations in North America. Since 2023, CrowdStrike has tracked the group exploiting vulnerabilities in cloud environments, internet-facing appliances, and SaaS platforms like Entra ID. Their malware, including CloudedHope, uses advanced anti-analysis and operational security measures, while zero-day exploits and lateral movement enable intelligence-driven data exfiltration. MURKY PANDA frequently compromises trusted cloud relationships to access downstream victims, employing privileged credentials, backdoor accounts, and compromised SOHO devices to evade detection. Organizations are advised to closely monitor cloud credentials, audit service principals, patch systems regularly, and observe anomalous device logons to protect sensitive data.
