Synopsis

An SSL certificate used in a malware-based command and control infrastructure was detected on the remote host.

Description

An SSL certificate associated with the group known as APT1 was detected on the remote host. APT1's command and control infrastructure uses several self-signed certificates to encrypt communications in their command and control infrastructure.
