An alleged China-linked APT group targeted large business-to-business IT service providers in Southern Europe as part of Operation Digital Eye campaign.
The attack campaign, known as Operation Digital Eye, lasted for approximately three weeks from late June to mid-July 2024.
The attackers utilized Visual Studio Code and Microsoft Azure for command-and-control operations in an attempt to avoid detection.
The campaign highlights the increasing sophistication of China-linked APT threats and their use of innovative strategies to orchestrate complex and hard-to-detect attacks.
