In the company’s recently-published report, FireEye Labs Team in Singapore uncovered a set of malware that were developed with a dedicated set of tools built by a group identified in the report as APT 30 which stands for Advanced Persistent Threat. FireEye was keen to point out that the tool that APT30 is using is constantly updated which allow them to be virtually undetected for at least a decade.
