#JeSuisCharlie Movement Leveraged to Distribute DarkComet Malware
DarkComet malware found to be exploiting French-speaking targets and distributed using the #JeSuisCharlie hashtag.
Recorded Future found DarkComet distribution across hacking forums frequented by jihadist sympathizers and a variety of social media platforms.
Based on Recorded Future temporal analysis, threat actors compiled malware and began exploiting systems less than a week following the last terrorist attacks in France.
The #JeSuisCharlie malware campaign is the latest example of cyber criminals and nation-states taking advantage of offline crises for online malware campaigns.
