On August 27, 2024, Check Point Software Technologies announced its intention to acquire Cyberint.[15][16]  At the same time, Cyberint Research Team reported the discovery of UULoader, a malware loader that disguises itself as legitimate application installers and uses DLL side‑loading to deploy Gh0st RAT and Mimikatz payloads, primarily targeting Chinese‑ and Korean‑language users.[17][18] The acquisition was completed on October 1, 2024, integrating Cyberint into Check Point as part of its External Risk Management division.[19][20]
