*** The State of the ESILE/Lotus Blossom Campaign *** --------------------------------------------- As is generally the case with backdoors, ESILE contacts a command-and-control server in order to receive commands from its attacker. How it does this is also a fingerprint of the campaign as well. It uses a URL based on the MAC address of the infected machine's network interface, as well as the current time. ... This distinctive pattern can be used to help spot and block ESILE-related endpoints on an organization's network. --------------------------------------------- http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/the-state-of-the-...
