A Chinese state-sponsored hacking group tracked as 'Phantom Taurus' has been targeting government and telecommunications organizations for espionage for more than two years, Palo Alto Networks reports. Initially observed in 2023, the APT was only recently linked to Chinese hacking groups through shared infrastructure, as its tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) differ from those typically associated with threat actors operating out of China. "These enable the group to conduct highly covert operations and maintain long-term access to critical targets," says Palo Alto Networks.
