1 week agoNew YiBackdoor Malware Shares Major Code Overlaps with IcedID and Latrodectus
Given the similarities between YiBackdoor, IcedID, and Latrodectus, it's being assessed with medium to high confidence that the new malware is the work of the same developers who are behind the other two loaders. It's also worth noting that Latrodectus, in itself, is believed to be a successor of IcedID. The cybersecurity company said it first identified the malware in June 2025, adding it may be serving as a precursor to follow-on exploitation, such as facilitating initial access for ransomware attacks.
