Operation Red Signature targets South Korean supply chain — Research Saturday

Researchers at Trend Micro uncovered a supply chain attack targeting organizations in South Korea. With the goal of information theft, attackers compromised the update server of a third party support provider, resulting in the installation of a RAT, or remote access trojan.

Rik Ferguson is Vice President of Security Research at Trend Micro, and he guides us through their discoveries.
