PHISHING ATTACK ON US GOVERNMENT LINKED TO CHINESE HACKERS

Uploaded on 2022-03-22 in TECHNOLOGY--Hackers, GOVERNMENT-National, FREE TO VIEW




Share


Two separate Chinese state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups
have been observed targeting victims, including US state governments, European
diplomatic entities and Gmail accounts linked to the US government.

The first group, APT41, also known as Wicked Panda and Winti, is believed by
researchers at Mandiant  to have successfully compromised at least six US state
government networks. The APT did so by exploiting vulnerable Internet-facing web
applications, including using zero-day  vulnerabilities in Apache Log4j.

Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) alerted multiple Gmail users affiliated
with the US government of an attempted phishing attack by a Chinese-backed
hacking group, APT31, in February.  TAG warned “multiple” people that APT31
(also known as Judgment Panda and Zirconium) was after their sensitive
information, and that the phishing attacks were successfully blocked in their
email service.

According to TAG multiple Gmail users affiliated with the US government were
alerted to an attempted phishing attack by a Chinese-backed hacking group noted
as APT31 in February.

Fortunately for government officials, the attempted attack was unsuccessful as
all of the emails containing phishing links were automatically marked as spam
and filtered by Gmail. “Today, we sent those people who were targeted government
backed attacker warnings,” Shane Huntley, Director of TAG said on Twitter... We
don’t have any evidence to suggest that this campaign was related to the current
war in Ukraine. In February, we detected an APT31 phishing campaign targeting
high profile Gmail users affiliated with the US government. 100% of these emails
were automatically classified as spam and blocked by Gmail.”

The attempted attack was unsuccessful as the emails were automatically marked as
spam and filtered by Gmail.

There is no evidence that the hacking campaign was associated with the current
war in Ukraine. When government sponsored hackers attempt to send a malicious
email in Gmail, an alert warning them of a potential attack will be
received. According to Google, less than 0.1% of account users will experience
an attack.
