Daxin special: How this advanced malware was discovered

In this special edition of the podcast, Dick O’Brien is joined by Symantec threat researchers and analysts Piotr Krysiuk and Vikram Thakur to discuss the Symantec Threat Hunter team’s discovery of Daxin, which is the most advanced piece of malware we have seen from China-linked actors. We published a blog about the discovery of Daxin last week, as well as two in-depth technical blogs with more information on the tool this week. Piotr discusses his work analyzing the malware, and when he realized the significance of this discovery, while Vikram talks about liaising with customers impacted by the malware as well as working with the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to engage with multiple foreign governments targeted with Daxin to assist with detection and remediation.
