China hackers found to have compromised Iran entities for months
A Chinese hacking group targeted multiple Iranian government bodies in 2022 using advanced malware, according to an industry report.
Chinese hacking group Playful Taurus aimed cyber attacks at Iranian government platforms from July to December of 2022, according to a report published Wednesday by American cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks.
The company’s analysis suggests that four entities of the Iranian government's infrastructure have been compromised by what is known as an advanced persistent threat (APT), or cyberattack campaign with the goal to mine sensitive data.
