Attack has hit the Central Tibetan Administration, a site belonging to the Dalai Lama s government-in-exile. When Chinese-speaking users visit the site, they are hit with the code contained in an iframe that redirects them to another site. Visitors are exposed to an exploit that attempts to compromise their machines using a Java vulnerability from 2012. The attack does not affect English-speaking or Tibetan visitors. Backdoors detected with the Swisyn verdict are frequently a part of APT related toolchains.
