BlackBerry Says Govt Hackers Stole World’s Sensitive Data For 10 Years

Posted on April 11, 2020 by Dissent

Sarthak Dogra reports:

BlackBerry Ltd. has come up with a sensational report that indicates that Chinese state sponsored hackers have been stealing data from computers across the globe for almost around a decade. A major reason for this unnoticed attack is its target, Linux operating systems.

Blackberry makes the claim in a new 44-page long report. It claims advanced hackers from China camouflaged their software tools posing a low level security risk in the form of advertisements. The approach made it possible for them to extract information out of their targeted systems.

You can access the report, Report: Decade of the RATs, on Blackberry’s site.
