Someone was stealing footage from their own security cameras.
Acting on a tip from Japanese cyber researchers, the African Unionâs (AU) technology staffers discovered that a group of suspected Chinese hackers had rigged a cluster of servers in the basement of an administrative annex to quietly siphon surveillance videos from across the AUâs sprawling campus in Addis Ababa, Ethiopiaâs capital.
The security breach was carried out by a Chinese hacking group nicknamed âBronze President,â according to a five-page internal memo reviewed by Reuters. It said the affected cameras covered âAU offices, parking areas, corridors, and meeting rooms.â
