境外黑客組織'海蓮花'首次曝光

Hacker group targets China

黑客組織將目標對準中國

The details of a national-level hacker attack targeting China have been disclosed for the first time in a report by an Internet security firm.

某網絡安全公司發佈報告，首次披露一起針對中國的國家級黑客攻擊細節。

Called OceanLotus, the overseas hacker group has been attacking China's maritime organizations, marine construction departments, research institutes and shipping enterprises since April 2012. Their precise and well-organized cyber attack is an advanced persistent threat which is obviously supported by foreign governments.

該境外黑客組織被命名爲"海蓮花(OceanLotus)"，自2012年4月起，"海蓮花"針對中國政府的海事機構、海域建設部門、科研院所和航運企業，展開了精密組織的網絡攻擊，很明顯是一個有國外政府支持的APT(高級持續性威脅)行動。
