Blackwood Rising: Unmasking the Stealthy NSPX30 Malware and China’s Cyber Espionage Saga

Meet ‘Blackwood’, the cyberespionage maestro turning old backdoors into the state-of-the-art NSPX30 malware. Like a tech-savvy Phantom of the Opera, they’ve been lurking since 2018, orchestrating AitM attacks with a flair for the dramatic—and a taste for your data.

Hot Take:

Oh, what's that lurking in the shadowy corners of the internet? It's Blackwood and its pet malware NSPX30, which might as well stand for "Nefariously Sneaky Privacy X-terminator 30". Born from the digital primordial soup of a 2005 backdoor, these cyberespionage virtuosos are playing a symphony on the strings of compromised systems while juggling Chinese state interests. If you thought your update notifications were just annoying reminders, think again—they could be a one-way ticket to Spyville, courtesy of Blackwood's AitM shenanigans.
