FishMonger’s arsenal upgraded: SprySOCKS for Windows

ESET researchers identified SprySOCKS for Windows, a backdoor deployed by FishMonger that leverages a kernel driver to achieve advanced evasion capabilities. The malware represents an upgrade to FishMonger's toolset with enhanced stealth mechanisms.

Why it matters: Organizations targeted by FishMonger need to detect and respond to this kernel-level backdoor; endpoint defenders should update detection signatures and monitor for SprySOCKS indicators of compromise (IOCs) and suspicious kernel driver activity.
