🎯 Chinese hackers are using stealthier, open-source malware to target Linux—and they’re getting harder to detect.

UNC5174, a China-linked threat actor, is now actively exploiting Linux systems using a modified variant of the SNOWLIGHT malware and a remote access trojan called VShell—both designed to stay under the radar.

What makes this campaign different?

Instead of flashy exploits, the attackers are using:
- Fileless payloads and in-memory malware execution
- Open-source tools like Sliver, GOREVERSE, and SUPERSHELL
- Legitimate-looking apps (like a fake Cloudflare authenticator)
- WebSockets for stealthy C2 communication

The goal?
Persistent access, remote control, and data exfiltration—while blending in with less-sophisticated attackers to avoid attribution.

The malware is capable of targeting both Linux and macOS systems. One key technique: a malicious bash script that deploys two binaries—dnsloger (SNOWLIGHT) and system_worker (Sliver)—to establish persistence and communicate with a C2 server.

Sysdig researchers believe this threat actor is “moderately sophisticated,” using off-the-shelf tools to maintain a quiet but capable presence in targeted networks.

Targets span at least 20 countries, including the U.S., U.K., France, Japan, and South Korea.

🛡️ At @Efani, we track threats like this because they exploit trust—disguising their tools as open-source utilities or developer resources.

If your organization runs Linux or macOS infrastructure, especially in finance, defense, or telecom: don’t assume stealthy equals safe.

Audit everything. Monitor deeply. Update fast.
