AutoCAD Malware - Computer Aided Theft
Computer aided design (CAD) has played a vital role in the past decades building our technology-driven society, helping structures and engineering reach new levels of complexity – designing a building such as the Burj Khalifa by hand would be difficult if not impossible.
Of course, where valuable documents are stored electronically, malware is typically never far behind and, unsurprisingly, malware targeting CAD files is not a new invention. On the other hand, the value inherent in these files makes any such campaign worth inspecting, as was the case recently when we observed one using apparently already-stolen design documents for major projects such as hotels, factory buildings, and even the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge (which opened last month) as ‘lures’ to propagate further. The intention here is likely to acquire even more blueprints, either for direct use (i.e. espionage) or for sale on the black market.
