Some Bangladeshi organisations running Microsoft Exchange mail servers have been compromised by cyberattacks, says the e-Government Computer Incident Response Team (BGD e-GOV CIRT) in an advisory.
It named a few business groups that have already been compromised and asked others to check their systems.
The advisory mentioned the name of HAFNIUM, a Chinese hacker group, which has carried out such attacks across the globe.
The BGD e-GOV CIRT has asked a number of state-owned and private organisations to carry out scans of their mail servers to see if any malware had been injected into their system and to believe that they have been compromised if such malware was found.
