Symantec says it has uncovered a cyber espionage campaign that has focused on infiltrating three telecommunications operators in Southeast Asia, as well as a defense contractor and a satellite communications operator. The security company says the hacking group responsible for the attacks – it calls the group Thrip – appears to carefully target victims and may be putting in place beachheads designed to facilitate more harmful attacks. The latest attacks trace back to three computers in China, the company says. The Chinese government may, in theory, have ordered the attacks, but experts continue to caution that the origin of attacks isn’t a reliable indicator.”]
