Security researchers at SafeBreach Labs have discovered a novel PowerShell backdoor which has been able to evade the dozens of malware scanners employed by VirusTotal. The toolâs stealthy qualities have earned it the âfully undetectable,â or FUD, descriptor. The researchers believe it has been used to target around 100 victims, but their breakdown of how they ultimately detected the âundetectableâ is fascinating.

The malware is distributed via a malicious Word document like so many other phishing attacks. The document poses as a job application form and is related to an âalleged LinkedIn-based job application spearphishing lure.â In other words, it is used to target individuals who are likely to have access to highly sensitive data.
