Although APT3 is well known for employing zero-day exploits in their attacks, recent activity has demonstrated that they will also attack targets with known exploits or social engineering.

The 19 year old bug that affects every version of Microsoft Windows from Windows 95 onwards is now being exploited by a group believed to be behind Operation Clandestine Fox. According to the security firm FireEye the bug reported by IBM X-Force Research team and a separate Windows privilege escalation vulnerability have been targeted by a group called APT3.
