Stolen Winnti Certificates Used in Watering Hole Attack Against Tibet Orphans Site

The assault against Free Tibet and Uyghur supporters is unrelenting as another watering hole attack has been uncovered, this time against a caregiver site supporting Tibetan refugee children. The non-governmental organization (NGO) Tibetan Homes Foundation site remains compromised and is hosting a malicious Adobe Flash Player SWF file and is spreading backdoors signed with digital certificates stolen that were also part of the Winnti attacks. The attackers are either either re-selling the stolen certificates on the black market, or are closely tied to state-sponsored Chinese hacking groups responsible for attacks.
