IHEATE
Description
(Trend Micro) These attacks targeting users in the United States used a variant of IXESHE which has been seen in Taiwan since 2009 named IHEATE. These showed some differences from known IXESHE variants: they had a different command-and-control (C&C) communication model and encryption methods.
One IHEATE sample we found contains the string “EMC112” as part of the C&C traffic. Such strings are frequently used to identify different campaigns. In this particular case, the 112 part of the string matched the malware sample’s compilation date of January 12.
