Through research, 360 Helios Team has found that, since 2007, the Poison Ivy Group has carried out 11 years of cyber espionage campaigns against Chinese key units and departments, such as national defense, government, science and technology, education and maritime agencies. The group mainly targets military industry, Sino-US relations, cross-strait relations and ocean-related fields. It indicates that the group’s interest is similar to that of our previously published OceanLotus APT Group.
360 Helios Team captured the first Trojan of the Poison Ivy Group in December 2007. In the following 11 years, we have captured 13 versions of malicious code, involving 73 samples. In the initial attack, the Group mainly used spear phishing emails. Before the attack, the target was deeply investigated and carefully selected. Contents that are closely related to the target industry or field were used to construct the bait files and emails, such as specific conference materials, researches or announcements. The lure documents contain 10 vulnerable document samples, including a 0day vulnerability. Infections of this Trojan are distributed in 31 provincial-level administrative regions. The number of C&C domain names is 59 located in 4 different countries or regions according to the returned addresses.
