Broadcom’s Symantec has reported that a Chinese state-sponsored hacker group named Flea has recently launched cyber attacks on foreign affairs ministries in the Americas. The campaign began in late 2022 and continued into early 2023.
According to the report, Symantec researchers discovered a new backdoor codenamed Graphican used in the attacks. This backdoor allows the hacker group to gain full access to the targeted systems, enabling them to steal sensitive data and monitor the compromised network.
Aside from foreign affairs ministries, the Chinese state-sponsored hacker group also targeted other organizations in the Americas. One of the targets was a government finance department, while another was a corporation that markets products in the region.
