The Gh0st malware is a widely used remote administration tool (RAT) that originated in China in the early 2000s. It has been the subject of many analysis reports, including those describing targeted espionage campaigns like Operation Night Dragon and the GhostNet attacks on Tibet. Musical Chairs is a multi-year campaign which recently deployed of new variant Gh0st we’ve named “Piano Gh0st.” Our evidence suggests the actors behind these attacks have been operating for over five years and have maintained a single command and control server for almost two. They use compromised e-mail accounts to distribute their malware widely and their targeting appears opportunistic rather than specific. The overall motivation of this campaign is unclear at this time. Gh0st is very versatile as it allows an adversary to take complete control over the infected system including installing additional malware.
