(Worthy News) – China waged an extended cyberwar against Israeli private businesses and government entities in 2019 and 2020, an online security company announced Monday.
FireEye, an international cybersecurity firm, said hackers traced back to the Chinese Ministry of State Security targeted Israeli shipping, defense, and tech companies, as well as government servers, in a hacking campaign stretching more than two years. The attacks zeroed in on a vulnerability in SharePoint, a Microsoft collaborative platform popular in the national security industry.
The attacks are only China’s most recent cyber offensive against another country, but the first of this scale against Israel.
