Twice around the dance floor - Elastic discovers the PIPEDANCE backdoor

Elastic Security Labs identified an active intrusion targeting a Vietnamese organization using a newly discovered backdoor named PIPEDANCE. The multi-hop malware supports stealthy operations and enables remote attackers to maintain persistent access through named pipes and other obfuscation techniques.

Why it matters: Organizations in Vietnam and those connected to Vietnamese networks face immediate risk from PIPEDANCE; security teams should hunt for indicators of compromise associated with this backdoor and review access logs for suspicious named pipe communications.
