Deciphering Confucius\' Cyberespionage Operations |
Texte |
In today's online chat and dating scene, romance scams are not uncommon, what with catfishers and West African cybercriminals potently toying with their victims' emotions to cash in on their bank accounts. It's quite odd (and probably underreported), however, to see it used as a vector for cyberespionage.
We stumbled upon the Confucius hacking group while delving into Patchwork's cyberespionage operations, and found a number of similarities. Code in their custom malware bore similarities, for instance. And like Patchwork, Confucius targeted a particular set of individuals in South Asian countries, such as military personnel and businessmen, among others.
