Beijing [China], May 28 (ANI): Members of the Uyghur community in China and abroad are being targeted in surveillance efforts by Chinese-speaking hackers through the use of fake emails from the United Nations (UN) and a human rights group, according to cybersecurity researchers.
A joint collaboration between cybersecurity groups Check Point Research and Kaspersky s Global Research and Analysis Team concluded with low to medium confidence that the effort was carried out by Chinese-speaking hackers, reported The Hill.
The hackers were targeting Uyghurs in both China and Pakistan using malicious emails designed to trick individuals into installing a back door into Microsoft Windows software to allow the hackers to collect information and further carry out attacks, said the researchers.
