Researchers at Symantec have uncovered cyberattacks attributed to the China-linked espionage actor APT41 (a.k.a. Winnti) that breached government agencies in Hong Kong and remained undetected for a year in some cases.
The state-sponsored threat actor has switched up its tactics, also adding an automated SQL-injection tool to its bag of tricks for initial access.
This service relies on search engine optimization (SEO) poisoning as well as laced software downloads uploaded onto torrent sites and has a history of distributing a wide array of malware.
