Health, transportation, logistics, and transportation organizations across Italy have been targeted by the UNC4990 threat operation in a new attack campaign involving weaponized USB drives used to facilitate the distribution of malware hosted on widely used websites, reports The Hacker News. Attacks commence with the widespread infection of USB drives with a malicious LNK file, which when double-clicked would trigger a PowerShell script that would download the EMPTYSPACE loader, also known as Vetta Loader or BrokerLoader, according to a report from Mandiant.
