Researchers at the security firm ESET have uncovered an ongoing espionage campaign using an updated variant of Bandook spyware to target corporate networks in Venezuela and other nations in Latin America.

"When comparing the malware used in this campaign with what was previously documented, we found new functionality and changes to this malware, known as Bandook," ESET says. "We also found that this campaign targeting Venezuela, despite being active since at least 2015, has somehow remained undocumented."
Check Point Research in 2020 discovered around 120 commands in Bandook. The latest ESET report claims to have uncovered 12 more commands, which shows that attackers have improved the malware’s capabilities (see: Researchers Find Updated Variants of Bandook Spyware).
