The U.S. Department of Labor’s website was infected and spreading malware, researchers discovered this morning. The malicious code appears to be the handiwork of an intelligence-gathering operation. The command-and-control protocol used in the attack matches a backdoor used by DeepPanda, a Chinese nation-state cyberespionage group. The malware collects detailed information from the infected machine, according to AlienVault. It’s unclear so far whether the same group is involved in the Labor Department hack.”]
