FireEye and Symantec reported a targeted watering‑hole attack on vfw.org that used a previously unknown IE10 use‑after‑free zero‑day to bypass ASLR/DEP and deliver a ZxShell backdoor to visitors—apparently aimed at current and former U.S. military personnel. FireEye labeled the campaign “SnowMan,” observed active exploitation on February 11, and linked it to other strategic web compromise campaigns (e.g., Operation DeputyDog, Ephemeral Hydra).
