As the days countdown to the launch (on February 13 Tibetan Independence Day) of a planned attack from Anonymous activists on Chinese government websites a report’s been issued by Cisco Talos which details a cyber-campaign that targets pro-Tibetan organizations.

Clearly an action by China’s digital division it exploits a mailing list run by the exiled Tibetan Administration, emailing a document, which on opening delivers a Remote Action Trojan (RAT), A malware designed to steal files, system and personal data, conduct surveilliance and terminating or starting processes.

Such covert strikes have been going on for some years now, we’re not affected by this latest enemy action, as we do not subscribe to the list in question. In addition we run security measures on a daily basis to maintain our online operations.
