Bitter Deploys PapRAT in Asian Cyber-Espionage Campaign

Bitter, a cyber-espionage group, deployed PapRAT malware against targets in South and Southeast Asia through three distinct infection chains, including one that operated without a traditional malware executable.

Why it matters: Organizations in South and Southeast Asia face direct targeting by Bitter; practitioners should review endpoint detection for PapRAT indicators and assess exposure to the group's infection methods, particularly fileless variants.
