The ASUS WebStorage system is being actively abused to perform Man-in-The-Middle (MiTM) attacks, researchers say.
ESET researcher Anton Cherepanov published a report detailing attack vectors related to WebStorage, ASUS's cloud storage service, on Tuesday.
According to the team, the Plead malware may be being distributed through MiTM attacks taking place against ASUS software.
Plead is a malware variant which specializes in data theft through a combination of the Plead backdoor and Drigo exfiltration tool.
