China-Aligned FamousSparrow Deploys SparroWocky Backdoor Across Latin America
China-aligned threat actor FamousSparrow has deployed a previously unknown backdoor called SparroWocky across multiple Latin American countries since at least August 2025. ESET researchers discovered the modular C++ backdoor in their technical analysis.
Why it matters: Organizations in Latin America face direct exposure to FamousSparrow's tooling; practitioners should review logs and network traffic for SparroWocky indicators of compromise (IOCs) and assess whether their environments have been targeted.
