The Chinese hacking group known as Codoso Team, also referred to as APT10, is a sophisticated cyber espionage operation that has been active for many years. They are known for carrying out targeted attacks against various organizations, including government agencies, technology companies, and defense contractors.
Codoso Team uses advanced techniques and tools to penetrate the networks of their targets. They often use spear-phishing emails to deliver malware and gain access to sensitive information. They have also been known to exploit vulnerabilities in software and hardware to achieve their objectives.
In a watering hole attack, the hackers compromise a website that is frequently visited by their target victims. By infecting this website with malware, the hackers can then exploit vulnerabilities in the visitors browsers or plugins to gain access to their devices and networks.
Codoso Team has been using Forbes.com as a watering hole in their latest campaign. They have injected malicious code into the Forbes website, which then targets visitors with a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer. By luring users to click on malicious ads or links, the hackers can gain unauthorized access to their systems.
The compromise of Forbes.com as a watering hole represents a serious threat to the websites reputation and the security of its users. Visitors to the site may unknowingly put their personal and sensitive information at risk by falling victim to the Codoso Teams malicious activities.
To protect against watering hole attacks like the one carried out by Codoso Team on Forbes.com, users should keep their browsers and plugins up to date, use reputable antivirus software, and exercise caution when clicking on links or ads on websites. Website owners should also regularly scan their websites for vulnerabilities and implement security measures to prevent such attacks.
