Hackers Using Fake Foundations to Target Uyghur Minority in China

The Uyghur community located in China and Pakistan has been the subject of an ongoing espionage campaign.

The goal of the phishing message is to lure the recipients into installing a backdoor on the Windows machines. Only a handful of victims have been identified so far, based on telemetry data compiled during the analysis.
