For almost a decade, different Chinese threat actor groups used a piece of weaponized code that was mistakenly categorized as a variant of another malware, security experts have admitted.

In a report, Trend Micro revealed since 2016, groups such as Iron Tiger and Calypso used a piece of malware that was thought to be a variant of Gh0st RAT and Rekoobe. The former was first observed back in 2008 and has, throughout the years, become the go-to tool for Chinese state-sponsored threat actors.
