What is FADE/MIST?

FADE/MIST refers to a family of malware that uses a modular structure. This allows attackers to customize the malware's functionalities by adding or removing modules as needed. The purpose of this structure is to make the malware more flexible, adaptable, and difficult to detect. It can be used for various malicious activities such as data theft, espionage, or launching further attacks on a system. The lack of a formal reference domain is due to its nature as a category of malicious code, not a specific piece of software or technology with a defined web presence.
