A data leak showed that a Chinese technology firm I-Soon, hacked Bharatiya government offices, media reports stated citing a large data leak examined by the experts.
According to the reports, Bharatiya government offices, and institutions in many other countries, fell victim to the cyber intrusion arranged by I-Soon.
The leaked documents, assigned to I-Soon, show the extent of the breach, indicating an operation that stabbed many foreign governments, social media platforms, and personal computing systems.
Cybersecurity firms SentinelLabs and Malwarebytes, searching into the leaked data, uncovered evidence of I-Soon’s raid on over a dozen governments, as well as democratic organisations in Hong Kong, universities, and even the NATO military alliance.
The exact contents of the leaked data remain unrevealed, they were made public last week on GitHub by an unnamed individual, offering unprecedented insights into China’s evolving cyber-spying capabilities, according to analysts at SentinelLabs.
‘I-Soon’s targets extended beyond Bharat to include government entities in Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea, among others’, according to Malwarebytes
Moreover, I-Soon’s website is unreachable but archived information reportedly suggested its headquarters in Shanghai, with additional branches across China.
The leaked files supposedly consist of chat logs, presentations, and lists of targeted entities, illustrating the hacking by I-Soon, from infiltrating social media accounts to remotely controlling personal computers.
