Hackers connected to a Chinese intelligence agency have infiltrated U.S. government and the private sector entities in recent months by exploiting a series of common vulnerabilities, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity agency announced Monday. Attackers tied to China’s civilian intelligence and counterintelligence service, the Ministry of State Security (MSS), have been using phishing emails with malicious links to infiltrate victim organizations, according to the alert. By including malicious software in those messages, hackers are exploiting software flaws in commercial technologies and open-source tools, including services with known fixes. F5 Networks’ Big-IP Traffic Management User Interface, Citrix VPN Appliances, Pulse Secure VPN appliances, and Microsoft Exchange Server are among those affected, says the report from the FBI and DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). All of these are tools are open source and commercially available, making potentially high value espionage targets in the U.S. government relatively easy and low-cost for state-sponsored hackers […]
