Security researcher at Cyberreason reports that the Chinese advanced threat group Winnti since 2019 has stolen large amounts of trade secrets and copyrighted material in Asia, Europe and North America without being discovered.
The group is estimated to have come across a total of several hundred gigabytes of secret information.
The theft campaign, which has been given the name Operation Cuckobees, will use previously undocumented damage programs and day-to-day vulnerabilities to penetrate the victims’ networks. Hackers should use the Windows Common Log File System together with advanced hacking techniques to avoid detection.
Cyberreason has now reported its discoveries to the FBI.
