A rather nasty advanced persistent threat group known as “Naikon” targets governments and commercial interests in South, Southeast Asia and the South China Sea. Now, a team of researchers from two companies, Threat Connect and The Defense Group, has analyzed five years of Naikon activity. They think they've identified the individual behind the malware. Rich Barger is chief intelligence officer at ThreatConnect. He joins the Federal Drive with Tom Temin now with the highlights from Project CameraShy.
