Type Backdoor
Description
(Palo Alto) Scote provides backdoor access for an attacker and we have observed it collecting
command and control (C2) information from Pastebin links as well as Google+ profiles. The
bit.ly links obscured the C2 URLs so victims could not evaluate the legitimacy of the final site
prior to clicking it. We are calling their recent activity the “TopHat” campaign.
