BEWARE EMISSARY PANDA

A hacking group with potential ties to China has breached nine global organizations as part of an ongoing espionage effort mostly targeting the defense sector, findings made public Sunday revealed.

According to a report from cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks, the hackers targeted at least 370 organizations running potentially vulnerable Zoho servers in the U.S. alone, successfully compromising at least one, as part of a wider global campaign.

The compromised groups operated in the defense, education, energy, health care and technology sectors, with a potential focus on servers used by companies working with the Department of Defense.

The report labels the Chinese threat group as “Emissary Panda.”
