Context
According to Walmart Global Tech, Keyhole is a multi-functional VNC/Backconnect component used extensively by IcedID/Anubis. While the malware contains functionality that has been previously reported on as typical VNC and HDESK capabilities, a general lack of technical information appears to exist around some of the expanded functionality currently present.
