BambooToken Malware Uses MQTT for Command Control
1 min read
A malware framework called BambooToken, active since at least 2023, uses the MQTT protocol to control compromised Windows and Linux systems. Researchers at Lumen's Black Lotus Labs report it infects systems by side-loading via signed USB-token software or impersonating Kingsoft Office. The malware can perform keylogging, clipboard theft, and audio recording. It has compromised about a dozen enterprise entities, mostly in Asia and South America.
