Original release date: July 18, 2019

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) has released an advisory on an Astaroth fileless malware campaign 
affecting Microsoft Windows. Astaroth resides solely in memory, and an attacker can use it and other fileless malware 
to steal information, such as credentials and keystrokes, and obtain other sensitive data.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages administrators to review CCCSs Fileless Malware 
Advisory [ https://cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts/fileless-malware-advisory ] for potential infection vectors and recommended 
mitigations and refer to CISAs Tip on Protecting Against Malicious Code [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST18-271 ].
