Suspected state hackers stole military data from Asian countries

SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): A hacking campaign suspected to be linked to an Asian government breached seven high-profile targets in South-East Asia and Europe, including government and military agencies, according to the cybersecurity firm Group-IB.

The newly identified hacker group, dubbed Dark Pink, used phishing emails and advanced malware to compromise the defences of military branches in the Philippines and Malaysia, as well as government organisations in Cambodia, Indonesia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, from September to December last year.
