Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered an espionage campaign that has targeted a national data center of an unnamed central Asian country in order to conduct watering hole attacks.<\/p>\n

The campaign is believed to be active covertly since fall 2017 but was spotted in March by security researchers from Kaspersky Labs, who have attributed these attacks to a Chinese-speaking threat actor group called\u00a0LuckyMouse<\/b>.<\/p>\n

LuckyMouse, also known as Iron Tiger, EmissaryPanda, APT 27 and Threat Group-3390, is the same group of Chinese hackers who was found targeting\u00a0Asian countries with Bitcoin mining malware<\/a>\u00a0early this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
