An Interpol operation to combat online fraud concluded with the arrests of 1,003 people and the interception of $27 million in illicit funds, according to the international police organization, which conducted the crackdown alongside 20 countries. Waged from June to September of this year, “Operation HAECHI-II” targeted online crime like romance scams, investment fraud and money laundering associated with illegal online gambling. But it also turned up a business email compromise scheme in Colombia and led to alerts about malware tied to the popular Netflix show “Squid Game.” Interpol said the crackdown demonstrated how cybercrime has risen to new levels since the outbreak of the coronavirus. It’s the latest international warning about how the pandemic has fueled a crime wave, even setting aside attacks targeting the health care sector or exploiting COVID-19 that have flourished over the past two years. “The results of Operation HAECHI-II show that the surge in […]

A previously undocumented group of Chinese-speaking spies conducted a months-long campaign to infect the computers of government agencies in Vietnam and other Asian countries, researchers from the antivirus firm Kaspersky said Monday. The findings point to how alleged Chinese hacking groups overlap — and may collaborate — in their longstanding efforts to infiltrate the Southeast Asian governments with which China quarrels over territory. For example, the hackers’ techniques bear some similarities to that of a Chinese-speaking group called Cycldek that has been around eight years. But they’re also notably more advanced than Cycldek, leaving the Kaspersky researchers struggling to trace the specific origins of the group. The attackers executed code capable of taking full control of target computers, but they also stripped the code of digital clues that would make them easier to track. “One hypothesis we have is that one or several former Cycldek operators could have joined another […]

For the past several years a Vietnamese hacking group best known for its attacks on the auto sector has been targeting activists and non-governmental organizations with spyware, according to an Amnesty International investigation published Wednesday. The suspected government-linked hackers, known as OceanLotus or APT32, specifically targeted pro-democracy activist Bui Thanh Hieu, who writes about human rights and economic justice, with spyware on four occasions between February 2018 and December 2019, according to the investigation. The same group launched spyware against a blogger, who has written on a violent police clash in Vietnam in 2009, three times between July and November of last year. Bui Thanh Hieu has been exiled in Germany since 2013. Amnesty did not identify the blogger out of concern for their safety. The hackers also went after the Vietnamese Overseas Initiative for Conscience Empowerment (VOICE), which works on behalf of Vietnamese refugees resettling, in April of 2020. […]
