AlienVault - the Unified Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions specialist - has found evidence of Chinese-originated attacks against the US government agencies including the US Department of Defense (DoD), which use a new strain of the Sykipot malware to compromise DoD smart cards.
One of the original versions of Sykipot was a trojan horse application that opened a backdoor into the infected PCs. According to Jaime Blasco AlienVault's Lab manager, this latest generation of diversified attacks may have been occurring as far back as March of last year, if not longer.
