India Today
A Pakistan-originated malware that previously targeted the power sector and government organisations in India and Afghanistan, has developed the ability to adopt new cyber-attack capabilities.
Like a real-life biological virus, Pakistan-originated malware that earlier targeted the power sector and government organizations in India and Afghanistan, has now mutated to adopt new cyber-attack capabilities. As the extremist Taliban threat against Afghanistan government grows, its institutions continue to face growing cyber-attacks originating from Pakistan. While Afghanistan remained the primary target of this campaign, the new research shared by Black Lotus Labs, the threat intelligence arm of US-based Telecommunications Company Lumen Technologies, suggests that India, Iran and Jordan were also targeted.More Related News
