A cyber-espionage group dubbed Bronze President has been targeting countries in South and East Asia.
Researchers at Secureworks' Counter Threat Unit (CTU) have observed the group spying on the activities of political and law enforcement organizations and NGOs.

The threat group seems to have developed its own remote access tools, which it uses alongside publicly available remote access and post-compromise toolsets to gain entry to a network.
Using publicly available open-source tools could be a deliberate ploy by the group to cover its tracks and reduce the risk of attribution.

"It is likely that Bronze President is sponsored or at least tolerated by the PRC government. The threat group's systemic long-term targeting of NGO and political networks does not align with patriotic or criminal threat groups," wrote Secureworks' researchers.
