Chinese Cyber Campaign Targets Philippine Military with EggStreme Malware
Bitdefender researchers have revealed the EggStreme malware, linked to a Chinese advanced persistent threat group, targeting a Philippine military company. This sophisticated cyber espionage tool operates stealthily as a multi-stage, fileless framework, using legitimate system binaries to evade detection while enabling extensive data theft and system manipulation. The attack underscores the growing Chinese focus on military espionage in the Asia-Pacific, posing a significant threat to regional stability. In light of these developments, it is imperative for nations like India to enhance their cyber defenses and adopt a comprehensive security strategy to safeguard their military and strategic assets against increasing cyber threats.
