Summary
A China-linked cyber threat group, CL-STA-1062 (formerly UAT-7237), has been targeting critical infrastructure providers in Southeast Asia over the past year, deploying a new backdoor tool called TinyRCT. The group has successfully compromised multiple organizations, including electricity and water providers, and government agencies, indicating a shift in tactics from pure espionage to pre-positioned compromises.
