Suspected Chinese hackers impersonate Catholic news outlets to gather intel about Vatican diplomacy

Hackers are still trying to evade detection after months of public reporting on a suspected Chinese hacking campaign. The campaign targeted entities involved in diplomacy between the Vatican and Beijing. The Vatican recently announced it had extended an agreement with Beijing about the appointment of bishops in China. The hackers are now using a new kind of malware written in Golang, a programming language, to go after their targets, according to Proofpoint research. The group has also recently been targeting entities in Myanmar and Africa, suggesting the hackers may have had tasking changes in recent months.”]
