The group obtained initial access to the company’s network after a successful spearphishing campaign where they masqueraded as a recruiter for Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and contacted the victim via LinkedIn Messaging. During the attack, the group deployed several tools, most notably a newly-discovered sophisticated backdoor that ESET named LightlessCan.
