“Capable, well-resourced, and they go back decades.” The Turla threat group doesn’t make the news as much as some other Russian-speaking APT groups, but it is one of the most advanced and most diverse groups out there.
At VB2018 in Montreal, Kurt Baumgartner and Mike Scott from
Kaspersky Lab
‘s GReAT
detailed
the latest malware and infrastructure seen used by Turla, including some open-source tooling, which is rather surprising for a group with such advanced development skills.
You can watch the video of Kurt and Mike’s presentation on our
YouTube
channel. For more on Turla, you can also watch the
presentation
Kurt gave three years ago at VB2015 in Prague, which focused on its use of satellite networks for C&C communication, or read a

‘s Mike Low wrote for
Virus Bulletin
in 2014.
Turla will also be covered in a
lightning talk
Kurt will give at the first
CYBERWARCON
conference, which takes place on 28 November in Arlington, Virginia, USA. Tickets for this conference are still available.
