DarkHotel

DarkHotel (or Darkhotel) is a targeted spear-phishing spyware and malware-spreading campaign that appears to be selectively attacking business hotel visitors through the hotel's in-house WiFi network. It has been characterized by Kaspersky Lab as an advanced persistent threat.[1][2]

The attacks were specifically targeted at senior company executives,[3] and used forged digital certificates, generated by factoring the underlying weak public keys of real certificates, to convince them that prompted software downloads were valid.[4]
