Newly Uncovered ‘SowBug’ Cyber-Espionage Group Stealing Diplomatic Secrets Since 2015

Symantec security researchers have exposed a previously unknown hacking and cyber-espionage group that has been in operation since at least 2015. Codenamed Sowbug, the hacking group has been exposed by security researchers, who spotted the group conducting clandestine attacks against foreign policy institutions, government bodies and diplomatic targets in countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Malaysia. The group is well resourced, capable of infiltrating multiple targets simultaneously and will often operate outside the working hours of targeted organisations.
