A Chinese hacking group has been found leveraging a new exploit chain in iOS devices to install a spyware implant targeting the Uyghur Muslim minority in China’s autonomous region of Xinjiang. Volexity said the attacks were carried out by a state-sponsored hacking group it calls Evil Eye, the same threat actor that it said was behind a series of attacks against the region last September following a bombshell disclosure by Google’s Project Zero team. The spyware now targets ProtonMail and Signal messaging apps.
