A watering hole attack against Forbes and other targets last November has been attributed to a Chinese hacking group. The attack was made possible by a zero-day attack that strung together a now-patched Adobe vulnerability with a bypass vulnerability in Microsoft’s ASLR technology for Internet Explorer that the company patched today. Attackers seemed to be going after defense sector firms, Chinese dissident groups and other political target, as well as certain financial targets and other commercial targets in pharmaceutical and energy sectors that could benefit the Chinese economy.”]
