China-Linked UAT-7810 Expands ORB Network With New LONGLEASH Malware

By [email protected] (The Hacker News)

AI Summary

Cisco Talos has documented China-linked threat actor UAT-7810 expanding its LapDogs ORB network with three new SOHO router backdoors: LongLeash, DogLeash, and JarLeash. The actor targets internet-facing networking devices to build Operational Relay Box infrastructure used to obfuscate APT traffic. Network defenders should audit SOHO routers for signs of compromise and review Cisco Talos IOCs associated with the LapDogs campaign.
