Description
Cyclops is a malware platform written in Go that researchers first observed in late 2023 and believe operators deployed against Middle Eastern targets in 2024. It gives operators arbitrary command execution on target file systems, supports pivoting inside infected networks, and operators control it through an HTTP REST API exposed within an SSH tunnel.
