APT41 is using a sophisticated Windows surveillance toolkit named DeepData Framework in a targeted espionage campaign against organizations and individuals in South Asia; the modular framework supports up to 12 plug-ins that exfiltrate messaging app communications (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, WeChat), browser data and passwords, system/Wi‑Fi/app inventories, and audio recordings. BlackBerry researchers linked DeepData's design to the LightSpy iOS implant, observed manual operator-driven execution specifying C2 and plugins, and recommend blocking known C2 infrastructure, monitoring for unexpected audio recording activity, using secure communications, and deploying provided detection rules.
