Category Malware

Description
(ESET) We haven’t noticed Win32/Potao employing any exploits and the malware isn’t
particularly technically advanced. (Shouldn’t call it an APT then, right?) Yet it does contain a
few other interesting techniques that ‘get the job done’, like the mechanism for spreading via
USB drives and disguising executables as Word and Excel documents.
