OceanLotus Targets Vietnamese Investors via FireAnt Metakit Supply Chain Attack
Between mid-2024 and March 2026, the Vietnam-aligned threat actor OceanLotus (APT32) conducted cyber espionage campaigns targeting domestic entities. Notably, from October 2025 to March 2026, they executed a supply chain attack by compromising the update mechanism of FireAnt Metakit, a widely used stock investment platform in Vietnam. This allowed them to distribute the SPECTRALVIPER backdoor to a select group of investors, facilitating unauthorized access and data exfiltration. This incident underscores a strategic shift by OceanLotus towards domestic targets, highlighting the evolving threat landscape where nation-state actors exploit trusted software supply chains to infiltrate critical sectors. Organizations must enhance their software supply chain security and implement robust monitoring to detect such sophisticated attacks.
