In keeping with its commitment to continuously keep stakeholders in the country’s telecoms sector informed and protected, the Nigerian Communications Commission In keeping with its commitment to continuously keep stakeholders in the country’s telecoms sector informed and protected, the Nigerian Communications Commission has notified the public of the existence of another hacking group orchestrating cyber-espionage on the African telecoms space.

The NCC, in a report, yesterday, said the group was renowned for infiltrating the networks of telecoms companies and ISPs. Between July and October, this year, Lyceum was implicated in attacks against ISPs and telecoms organisations in Israel, Morocco, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Both malware is backdoored. Shark, a 32-bit executable written in C# and .NET, generates a configuration file for domain name system tunnelling or Hypertext Transfer Protocol C2 communications; whereas Milan – a 32-bit Remote Access Trojan retrieves data.

However, to guard against this kind of threat, the NCC re-echoed ngCERT reports that multiple layers of security in addition to constant network monitoring are required by telecom companies and ISPs alike to stave off potential attacks.
