1. French authorities and Europol launched a "disinfection operation" on July 18 to remove PlugX malware.
2. The initiative aims to clean compromised hosts in France, Malta, Portugal, Croatia, Slovakia, and Austria.
3. Prior to this, French firm Sekoia sinkholed a PlugX C2 server, noting daily requests from nearly 100,000 IPs.
4. PlugX, a Chinese-origin RAT, uses DLL side-loading and can self-propagate via USB drives.
