US cyber-security firm Symantec published a report this week detailing the attacks of a newly discovered cyber-espionage group that it internally refers to as Leafminer.

This group β€”or APT (Advanced Persistent Threat)β€” has been active since at least early 2017. Symantec says its telemetry detected malware associated with this group's infrastructure on at least 44 computers in several countries, such as Saudi Arabia (28), Lebanon (8), Israel (3), and Kuwait (1) β€” for four systems researchers couldn't determine the country of origin.
