Chinese Hackers Target Taiwanese Financial Institutions with a new Stealthy Backdoor

[41.887]

A Chinese advanced persistent threat (APT) group has been targeting Taiwanese financial institutions as part of a "persistent campaign" that lasted for at least 18 months. The intrusions, whose primary intent was espionage, resulted in the deployment of a backdoor called xPack. The attackers spent close to 250 days between December 2020 and August 2021, while a manufacturing entity had its network under their watch for roughly 175 days. The findings add to a growing list of China-linked nation-state groups that have targeted Taiwan in recent months.
