AlienVault has discovered a range of spear phishing attacks taking place against a number of Tibetan organisations, apparently from Chinese attackers.
According to the Unified Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions specialist, the attacks signal a serious escalation into cyberspace of the cold war that has existed between the two countries since the Chinese army marched into majority Tibetan territory back in 1950.
Jaime Blasco, head of labs with AlienVault, said "Our research suggests that the attacks we have been tracking over the last few months are linked to the Kalachakra Initiation, a Tibetan religious festival that took place ps gahpw Pcanafn," ym vtfn.
