A Chinese Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group known as Cycldek has re-emerged to target catholic church and diplomatic groups, according to cybersecurity experts.
Cycldek is a cyber espionage group believed to be based in China and has been active since at least 2013. The group is known for its sophisticated attacks targeting government entities, defense contractors, and organizations in the Asia Pacific region.
In its latest campaign, Cycldek has been sending phishing emails with malicious attachments to entities associated with the Catholic Church and diplomatic organizations. These emails contain malware that allows the group to steal sensitive information and spy on its victims.
The motivations behind Cycldeks targeting of the Catholic Church and diplomatic groups are not entirely clear. However, it is possible that the group is seeking to gather intelligence on religious and political matters, as well as leverage sensitive information for strategic purposes.
The motives behind Cycldeks recent attacks on the Catholic Church and diplomatic groups are not entirely clear, but it is believed that the group is seeking to gather intelligence and leverage sensitive information for strategic purposes.
Since its initial activity in 2013, the Cycldek APT group has evolved to become more sophisticated in its cyber attacks, targeting a broader range of organizations and using new tactics to infiltrate networks and steal sensitive information.
The Catholic Church and diplomatic groups can protect themselves from attacks by the Cycldek APT group by implementing strong cybersecurity measures, such as training employees on how to recognize phishing emails, using multi-factor authentication, and regularly updating security software to detect and block malicious activity.
