Chinese Hackers Allegedly Target Russia in Cyberattack

Moscow-based cybersecurity provider Kaspersky Lab has recently revealed that multiple systems used by government bodies and IT companies in Russia have been compromised by Chinese hackers. The cyberattack was carried out using a backdoor malware known as "GrewApacha," a type of software that allows unauthorized access to computers. This malware has been attributed since 2021 to APT31, a Chinese cyber-espionage group believed to be linked to China's Ministry of State Security (MSS).
