In an unprecedented move that has industry experts buzzing, telecommunication companies across Asia have reported their most unexpected collaboration yet—with malware. Yes, PlugX and Bookworm have apparently joined the corporate board as unwelcome partners, bringing their unique brand of disruption to the table. If you thought mergers and acquisitions were messy, you haven’t seen anything until you witness a malware-induced meltdown!

Reports indicate that these notorious cyber-invaders have decided to foray into the telecommunications and manufacturing sectors of Central and South Asia, presumably after they concluded that just stealing your mom’s Facebook password was just not cutting it anymore. Why settle for small when you can topple industries, right?

PlugX, the new variant of the malware, has lovingly adopted features from its inspiring predecessors, RainyDay and Turian. It’s heartwarming to see such an illustriously confusing family tree coming together to jointly ruin lives. Leveraging legitimate applications for DLL side-loading, this sophisticated malware variant demonstrates that when it comes to hacking, even legitimacy is open to interpretation.
