DarkHotel is a suspected South Korean cyber-espionage threat actor active since approximately 2010. Also tracked as APT-C-06, DUBNIUM, and Templar, it is known for targeting selected business travelers—including corporate executives and sales and research-and-development personnel—using hotel networks in the Asia-Pacific region. The group has conducted spearphishing campaigns with malicious archive attachments and has used staged payload delivery to retrieve additional malware after compromise. Observed malware capabilities include host, process, system-time, and network-adapter discovery; searching for files matching specified patterns; persistence through Windows Registry Run keys; runtime string and import decryption; and encrypted command-and-control communications using AES-256 and Triple DES. DarkHotel has also masqueraded malware as a Secure Shell utility, supporting defense evasion.
