In China, cyber attackers are
In China, cyber attackers are taking advantage of the ubiquity of instant messaging platforms such as WeChat to launch trojan horses. The baits are disguised as all sorts of innocuous documents and links, such as free software, free games, or even celebrity gossip. Once the user clicks on the bait and the malware has been installed, the hacker can gain control of the device remotely. From there, they are free to perform a host of unauthorised actions – from observing one’s social interactions on various platforms for social engineering, to impersonating the victim or their bosses for monetary gain.
We speak to victims whose WeChat accounts have been hacked, and attacks launched on a personal and corporate level. We also speak with experts who tell us about Silver Fox trojan, a particularly insidious type of trojan horse impacting large swathes of industries in China.
