Chinese government hackers targeted U.S. internet providers with zero-day exploit, researchers say
Chinese government hackers have exploited a zero-day vulnerability to infect at least four U.S.-based Internet Service Providers with malware aimed at stealing customer credentials, researchers reported.
Lumen shared findings with Versa in June, which issued an emergency patch for the vulnerability and notified customers about the issue in July.
Lumen identified three U.S. ISPs and another company that were hacked this summer amid growing concerns about foreign cyber threats.
