BellaCPP: The New C++ Variant of BellaCiao Malware

A new variant of the BellaCiao malware, called BellaCPP, has recently been identified, rewritten in C++ instead of its original .NET implementation. This shift highlights efforts by attackers to create more versatile and harder-to-detect malware. BellaCPP operates as a Windows service, using DLL files and domain generation algorithms to establish covert communication channels. Attributed to the Charming Kitten APT group, this variant underscores the need for robust cybersecurity measures to counter evolving threats.
