A Chinese cyberespionage group operating out of Shanghai has been launching targeted attacks against the U.S. defense and European aerospace industries, a security vendor says. The group has connections to the People’s Liberation Army, CrowdStrike says. CrowdStrike believed the Putter Panda group has been operating at least since 2007. The exploits were focused on popular productivity applications such as Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office. The custom malware used was delivered through targeted email attacks, according to the vendor. The vendor has been tracking the group since 2012.”]
