In mid-April, an obscure agency housed under the Department of Defense issued a bulletin that a little-known, Chinese-linked hacking group is likely responsible for some suspicious activity aimed at defense contractors in the U.S. But how the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) came to that conclusion is complicated. The alert, sent to 38 contractors, says DCSA detected the group was making “inbound and outbound connections” with contractors’ facilities as of Feb. 1. The targeting, which appeared to have stopped by March 25, was directed at several critical infrastructure sectors, including aerospace, health care and maritime, according to a copy of the bulletin obtained by CyberScoop. A DCSA official tells CyberScoop the document was meant to raise awareness among the contractors, but numerous sources tell CyberScoop that it is more confusing than clarifying.

A strain of malicious software was activated on Android smartphones only when the infected phone was moved, according to research published by security vendor Trend Micro. The malware came embedded in seemingly legitimate apps Currency Converter and BatterySaverMobi, which were available in the Google Play Store, Trend Micro said Thursday. Once downloaded, the malware sought to avoid detection by monitoring the motion sensor on victims’ devices. The logic seems to be that if a hacked phone was moving, the device probably wasn’t a research tool being used by a security company trying to detect malware, researchers said. “As a user moves, their device usually generates some amount of motion sensor data,” the company explained in a blog post. “The malware developer is assuming that the sandbox for scanning malware is an emulator with no motion sensors, and as such will not create that type of data. … If it senses that […]
