CISA published a security advisory warning of a wave of attacks carried out by China-linked APT groups affiliated with China’s Ministry of State Security.
Chinese state-sponsored hackers have probed US government networks looking for vulnerable networking devices that could be compromised with exploits for recently disclosed vulnerabilities.
“The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has consistently observed Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS)-affiliated cyber threat actors using publicly available information sources and common, well-known tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to target U.S. Government agencies.” reads the security advisory. “CISA has observed these—and other threat actors with varying degrees of skill—routinely using open-source information to plan and execute cyber operations.”
