Turla is a long-standing and active APT that frequently sheds its skin and grows into something new. Known for a long-running, complex and innovative malware set, satellite-based C&C communications, it is a sophisticated and capable group. Fairly recently, our research initiated projects that later examined Mosquito, Turla and WhiteBear activity, known for MiTM deployments on multiple continents and a complex payload. Late this summer, their unusual JavaScript-based KopiLuwak payload was spear-phished out against other geopolitical hotspots. Where it's hot, there is Turla. Let's examine these malware sets and intrusion techniques, compare them against others, and try to understand why or what will be shed next.
