Milum


In August 2019, Kaspersky Labs discovered a malware they dubbed Milum (naming based on internal file name fragments) when investigating an operation they named WildPressure. It is written in C++ using STL, primarily to parse JSON. Functionality includes bidirectional file transmission and remote command execution.
