Chinese cyber espionage group Camaro Dragon has been found using a new strain of self-propagating malware that spreads through compromised USB drives. The malware, which has been found in Myanmar, South Korea, Great Britain, India, and Russia, was discovered by cybersecurity company Check Point during an investigation into a cyber incident at an unnamed European hospital. The malware, which includes a Delphi launcher and a primary payload called WispRider, is responsible for infecting devices when they are attached to a machine.
