Four Spy Groups Used the Same Chrome and Windows Exploit Kit Within a Week

A previously undocumented exploit kit named BlueMoon chains multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome and has been deployed by multiple state-sponsored espionage groups. The first in-the-wild use was attributed to APT31, a China-aligned group.

Why it matters: Organizations face active exploitation of Windows and Chrome by state-sponsored adversaries using a new multi-vulnerability attack chain; practitioners should prioritize patching for both platforms and monitor for BlueMoon indicators of compromise (IOCs).
