Many Cambodian ministries hacked
Best of luck out there if your personal email accounts were exposed by poor security at Cambodian government computer networks.
A massive hack of SEA nations' government computer systems, including many Cambodian ministries, has been (sort of) blamed on actors for Vietnam, Reuters reports today.
A massive hack of SEA nations' government computer systems, including many Cambodian ministries, has been (sort of) blamed on actors for Vietnam, Reuters reports today.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cybe ... SKBN1D70VUVolexity said in a report that the group had compromised websites of ministries or government agencies in Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines so they would load malicious code onto the computers of targeted victims.
This code would then direct them to a Google page which asked for their permission to access their Google account. If the user agrees, the hackers then have access to their contacts and emails.
The ministries included Cambodia’s ministries of foreign affairs, the environment, the civil service and social affairs, as well as its national police. In the Philippines it had compromised the websites of the armed forces and the office of the president.
Re: Many Cambodian ministries hacked
Big surprise! I suspect that the Cambodian Ministries probably do not even know 10% of the times they have been hacked. Almost every government official I communicate with, even HE's and Big Bongs, use open source, unsecured email (gmail, yahoo mail) for ALL of their government business, even very sensitive information. I find it hard to believe sometimes what they deem acceptable to discuss by text messages. I prefer to talk to them.
