A China-affiliated hacking cluster that specializes in building covert espionage highways — not collecting data itself, but running the infrastructure other Chinese state-aligned groups use to stay hidden — has fielded a significantly upgraded malware toolkit targeting enterprise wireless routers, Cisco Talos researchers disclosed Tuesday. The group, tracked as UAT-7810, has deployed a new implant […] Thank you for subscribing to our RSS feed! T…

China-Nexus Hackers Exploit Ruckus Routers to Build Operational Relay Box Networks

UAT-7810, a China-nexus hacking group, is expanding a global network of hijacked internet devices by exploiting security flaws in Ruckus wireless routers and rolling out new custom malware. This activity feeds into what researchers call an Operational Relay Box network, a chain of compromised devices used to hide the true origin of cyberattacks. The tactic lets attackers route their traffic through ordinary home and business routers, making mali…
